    One for communists is hardly any different [to one for nazis] as far as I’m concerned.

    What do you expect to happen when you call a group of people “hardly any different [to nazis]”?

    Communism does not advocate genocide any more than capitalism does. A capitalist society may commit genocide, a communist society may commit genocide. Neither are required to by their economic systems.

    National socialism directly advocates for genocide.

    It’s a ridiculous statement to compare communists to nazis and it’s not surprising that insulting communists like that will get you banned.

    (Adding islamism to the comparison just makes the statement even more bizarre.)







  • For something like a gamepass it’s debatable.

    You probably pay more if using a gamepass, but you also try a lot more games.

    If you played as many games without a gamepass as with one, you’d pay a lot more.

    But without a gamepass, you usually restrict yourself to fewer games.

    Whether removing such restriction is worth the (not as significant) additional cost is subjective.

    So there’s an actual case for subscription in cases like this.

    (The reason subscriptions make some sense here is because digital items are artificially limited. With physical items or services subscriptions are almost always a money grab. But with artificially limited things, such as digital items, subscriptions can definitely be reasonable.)
