This should have been about how, as the North started to look like they were winning, a League of Nations composed of a bunch of European powers steps in and deploys peacekeepers to "keep the peace", locking the north and south in an ugly stalemate which devastates their economies, leaving both dependent on European capital and goods, bringing both into massive debt, and forcing them to sell off their natural resources to repay it. European peacekeepers are essentially above the law and establish camptowns full of trafficked war widows and slaves to serve them.

Taintrunner posted:It's the press doing free marketing for big corporate properties now, since the black stormtrooper in Star Wars and female Ghostbusters. Because "internet trolls" is a wholly unquantifiable number and the people on Twitter or Youtube is like, millions upon millions, it's an inherently unquantifiable value of exactly how many people actually are stating these views, and simply living with the reality that on a planet with literal billions of people that of course there are going to be a handful with inane, delusional ideas like a black Stormtrooper ruins Star Wars (they're all clones of a dude with Maori blood, so lol) yet on platforms like Twitter or Youtube are given equal space to "OMG!!! NEW STAR WARS LOOK HYPE!!!!" and there's simply no way to really get your head around just how many Star Wars boycotters there are compared to the vast millions happy to see a new Star Wars movie, so it's easy to point out "Shocker! These Twitter Trolls Are PISSED About Black Star Wars!" and get people angry at some formless mass of people that have no real political or economic power. This is a loving top tier post. This is the essence of the thread right here, #brands co-opting popular causes in search of more dolla dolla bill.

European peacekeepers are essentially above the law and establish camptowns full of trafficked war widows and slaves to serve them. you could tell an interesting story about how a more successful French-led European invasion of Mexico, maybe combined with Britain staying out of the Crimean War and avoiding the Sepoy Rebellion, spiraled into a full scale intervention in the Civil War. There's evidence such an intervention was one of Napoleon III's reasons for the Mexican invasion in the first place. but that would require nuance, research, a willingness to portray the european colonial empires as forces of oppression and iniquity, etc.

I'm just tired of how so much alt history is always reactionary. It's always about the British defeating the Revolution, the South winning the Civil War, Nazis winning world war two or I've noticed in the last decade the Western allies nuking and invading the Soviet Union after they keep heading West

I kind of want to see an alt history that's like "what if America won World War 3" and describes how things are so totally different. An alt-history book inside an alt-history book.

You set your show up yeah communism had swept mainland Europe, now the drama is how they build these societies. How are dealing with internal resistance and civil wars, the UK can have a 3 way Civil War between the government, leftists and the Irish seeking independence. How are they dealing with their colonial holdings, how are they dealing with Moscow that wanrs to be the leaders of global socialism versus everyone else that is approaching it differently. How are they dealing with inter factional disputes and the list bastion of global capitalism The United States. There's plenty of drama to be had in this kind of situation

Poppyseed Poundcake posted:P&G knows black people (featuring Facebook) holy poo poo the only comment on this vid quote:Honestly, I know it'll be looked down upon, but I do wish I was black. Their whole culture is just so much more interesting and fun. I hate being so white. I hate 'talking white.' I feel so looked down upon by black people too sometimes. I think it's dumb how there are so many boundaries for white people that there aren't for black propel socially. Like black people can be rude about white and black races and not be looked down upon. They're so much wittier and the way they talk is so much more, for lack of a better word, fashionable. I think black dark skin looks prettier. I've only dated black girls. And I feel drawn to hangout with them because I wish I could be more like them honestly. And I know that I should accept my own identity and be proud to be white, but there's just something about being black that just seems better. I hate being from a privileged family too. I feel looked down upon and unaccepted to some extent. Like left out of the black club. I think I'm drawn to hanging out with them more than white people because I want to be accepted by them as well as wanting to be able to be part of their culture without being frowned upon.
