I don't know why he thought the whole "both sides" thing would absolve him in his press release.

I learned today that nazis think there are two sides to the holocaust

i've been struggling to wrap my brain around that concept, but i grew up where the idea of playing Cowboys and Indians (as a form of tag, when you're a kid) was in the public consciousness somewhere. I can't ever remember actually playing and calling it that. Maybe i saw it on the television or read about it? just you know a casual kids game commemorating the colonization and genocide of its land's original people. it gets worse the more i think about it.

Damn I thought about that a couple months back and yeah, I remember playing it as a kid. I think it quickly got changed to cops and robbers, so maybe I was at the tail-end of that version; sure was a fucked-up thing to call a kids game.

We played cops and robbers instead, but I don't necessarily think that's any better.

No doubt the current MAGAT's are introducing it to their kids as "ICE and Immigrants"

Our variants were capture the flag (with a "jail" you could rescue people from) abcd freeze tag. Mostly we just played baseball.

I grew up on a street a hundred yards long with 19 kids, and I was one of the oldest. We played a lot of baseball and soccer instead of tag. We had enough for full teams, so why not?

[-] atrielienz@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

We had tag too. But cops and robbers was distinctive in that you were role playing cops and robbers. Tag was just tag.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

yeah, the teams were balanced in capture the flag and we didn't really have a name for it other than the descriptor. i'm trying to think which role playing ones we did (i am confident that there were some, just memory gets fuzzy after a few decades y'know) but i do not remember.
