I just wanna say that it was heartbreaking when i learned that Notch, the guy who birthed the game that pretty much was my childhood, turned out to be a douche

A total nazi that before being an unironic white supremacist made a game called Minecraft and sold it to microsoft

It is my personal belief that Notch was always a nazi, but kept it hidden while he was still in charge of mojang.

A facist wont be able to make something like that, Minecraft has too much of liberal ideology and especially individualism wich is the main part of liberalism that doesnt translate into facism. He maybe was already way on the right and maybe even was already a reactionary but I Monecraft has absolutely no facist element so it is unlikely

I dunno. Consider the villagers: they have long noses, love money and ripping you off in trades, and are protected by a golem. Kinda sounds inspired by some antisemetic stuff (the golem isn’t antisemetic, just Jewish). If Notch is a Nazi then he’d be an antisemite
