"Make America Nazi-Free Again."
Hmm, the slogan seems to be ambiguous enough to draw possible support and opposition in a number of ways.
1. Pro-Trump Opposing/Anti-Trump Supporting view: See it as using the "Make America Great Again" slogan as a slighting reference toward Donald Trump and his followers being the "Nazis" in America.
2. Pro-Trump Supporting view: See it as using the "Make America Great Again" slogan as a supportive statement for Donald Trump and his followers, being against the rise of Nazis in America.
3. Anti-Trump Opposing view: See it as using the "Make America Great Again" slogan as a way to to imply those who don't agree with Donald Trump are Nazis that America needs to be freed of.
4. Neo-Nazi view: See the context of the game's thematic setting being a direct attack on their political beliefs, using current reworded political slogans as indicated above.
5. Non-political view: See it in context of the game's thematic setting, free of outside politics. Or are just generally ok with the idea of being rid of Nazis regardless of political context.
Surprisingly, THIS topic makes for very interesting thought about the future of modern political statements expressed in interactive 1st Amendment protected gaming. To what extent could modern sociopolitical topics be influenced in the real world, through taking interactive involvement (albeit virtual) in a game that seeks to paint the issue in a positive or negative manner based on the creators views?
While I am definitely Anti-(neo)Nazi, there tweet brought the game out of it's usual fantasy context, and into the modern world, where real people, with real views, could be envisioned as the characters being killed throughout the game. In all honesty, outside of a declared war on a foreign nation, I wouldn't wish that on any group of Americans with opposing views. It's just not a line that should be crossed, as far as demonizing our own population, even if subtly. . .
As usual, my personal opinions.

The phrase was in reference to a fictional NAZI invasion of the US. Wolfenation has been about killing NAZIS for decades.

1stSgt Nelson Kerr - I'm aware of the franchise; I'm a long time gamer. However, there are still alternative perspectives on the slogan and it's "meaning."

The obvious answer to your question is there are no more Nazis. There haven't been any in over 72 years. The comments posted in the blog that you linked are pretty much saying the same thing.

It would be nice if your posts included the use of English rules such as full sentences, etc.
Again, there are no Nazis. FYI, Hitler was the party leader of a Socialist society.
As for National Socialism, read the words separetely and look up the definition. There are groups both on the left and right that would meet this definition. It is not limited by race, sex, identity, or ethnicity. They have an ideal type of society that they want to impose on others through force if necessary. Think of groups like ANTI-FA or rioters involved in BLM protests. While they are in essence, anarchists, they use force, threats, and hidden identies (masks) to further a Socialist agenda.
On one thing I do agree with you, they are scum.

National Socialism (German: Nationalsozialismus), more commonly known as Nazism (/ˈnɑːtsɪzəm, ˈnæt-/),[1] is the ideology and set of practices associated with the 20th-century German Nazi Party, Nazi Germany and other far-right groups. Usually characterized as a form of fascism that incorporates scientific racism and antisemitism, Nazism's development was influenced by German nationalism (especially Pan-Germanism), the Völkisch movement and...

Really? Where are they? WW2 ended 72 years ago. Assuming that a NAZI was at least 18 years old at the end of the war, they would be at least 90 years old today. I haven't seen any reports of 90 year old Nazis attacking anyone. As for National Socialists which Hitler was the leader of the party, there are those on the left and right around the world and in the USA who believe in this. They are not limited to a race, sex, ethnicity, or identity. They are willing to use force and intimidation to get their way. Groups such as Anti-fa and rioters at BLM demonstrations also meet this definition. They are pushing a Socialist agenda and using force, intimidation, and disguising their identities while doing it.
