I usually try not to bandwagon on to other stories around the 40k Internet, but over the last few days people have been all a twitter with the news that someone in Greece thinks Warhammer 40k is a Neo-Nazi plot to corrupt Grecian boys.
Shocking!
I know from a country that doesn’t pay its own taxes and wonders why it cannot afford any services, only to hold Europe hostage over its financial failings. More importantly than dealing with these inherent structural and social issues, the Greek media instead took the time write a story focusing on the obvious fascist agenda that is right now festering in the hearts of nerds across the globe.
If you have no idea what I am talking about all you need to do is check BoLS or read the 40k gamer that broke the story in the first place…

But really, if you are interested in keeping tabs on this developing story check out…
