Yes same with so much alternate history fiction. Vast majority is unreadable racist garbage

Yeah, my brother (crypto fash guy I suspect) reads some alternate history book series that’s “what of the confederates won!” And I assume “and it was good actually!”

Yup very few people end up telling the story, “but what if the Nazis won” and have it be actually a bad thing. Much more interesting to me but in general I grew out of it the more I learned about how they did actually win in many ways, just not militarily.

If I was going to read alt history now a days it would be something a bit more interesting to my tastes like if the soviet union didn’t collapse. That seems much more interesting world building and not so fuckin depressingly gross

Alt history if Germany actually went communist and allied with the Soviet Union: “And then everyone lived happily ever after”

You would have to alter so much other stuff for the Nazis to have ever won the war. They could have maybe done better but winning was really never gonna happen.

Idk if you’ve watched a Man in the High Castle but the first season was alright, it was a bit too lib for me to get really into but they at least made it pretty clear it was a bad thing.

Unlike the reality where uhhh, we recruited a bunch of nazis and scientists into high levels of government with high level security clearance 🤔

Haven’t. I generally think it’s a silly concept because you would have to change so much about the circumstances leading to the war that Germany would have won WW1. The nazis were never going to win.
