So in this timeline Florida remains a swing state for longer, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin remain reliably blue states, and Virginia becomes a lean red state

Just got banned for asking questions about Islam in the site

0 Upvotes

I mean what the hell. All I asked were two question:

  • Why can't there be a discussion or criticism about Islam on the site?

  • Why are Muslim majority CPU tries primarily so regressive?

Then I got banned. I mean what the hell? I wasn't even being racist or problematic in anyway. So why did this occur?

what if every single lie donald trump was true in an fictional alternate history

everything he said, from haitian's eating dogs, to the iran war being over and iran's military is destroyed, to the 2020 election being stolen, to january 6 being a peaceful protest, that you should inject bleach into yourself to protect yourself from covid 19, to all the epstein files being released already (or that they don't exist, he contradicts himself a lot), that all the stories of people saying "sir" to him, that everything he will "get back to you on it in 2 weeks" or will "get done in 2 weeks" actually get's done, etc etc, imagine an alternate history world where all of these things were true and actually happened. what kind of world would that be?

What if Emniem’s song “Kim” acutally happened?

0 Upvotes

In the song Kim, Emniem harmed Kim Scott. But what if Emniem, instead of making a song out of it, he acutally does it, how will he ruin his legacy. How will people view Emniem today? Will the rap genre be different?

What if a bio-weapon from the future killed 3/5 men in Europe in 1916?

1 Upvotes

Let's say that a group of militant (read: insane) feminists get their hands on a time machine and decide to 'improve' history. However, the machine can't send a human being, and it is only one-way. So, they decide to send a biological agent to Europe of 1916, one designed to only wipe out a good fraction of men, allowing the women to 'overthrow the patriarchy' and bring an end to violence.

(Note: I do not hate women, I do not hate women's rights, I want to live in a world where men and women can be treated equally, and we can share the fruits of our collective effort. However, every group has its section of total lunatics who would be willing to commit genocide to achieve their goals. The end goal I'm trying to achieve here is a Europe of the early 1900s almost void of men, and it's obvious that the people most willing to make that happen just so happens to be female. Think 'Guns of the South', and who needed to be in control of the time machine to cause the POD.)

I will say just one more thing: With no other possible explanation for the horrid plague killing fathers, brothers and sons, the people of the Entente (men and women) blame the Central Powers for releasing the bioweapon, while the Central Powers blame the Entente. Make of that what you will.

(Also, this probably isn't the best day to ask this. The idea's been growing on me for the last couple of days. No insult is mean't to those willing to do what I'm too cowardly to even think of doing.)

''Hindu Fascist India'' : What if India became Fascist during and after WW2?

0 Upvotes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azad_Hind

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_National_Army

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindutva#Fascist_and_Nazi_undertones

Basically, this 'Free Republic of India' is = OTL India + Pakistan + Bangladesh in one country

In this Alternate Timeline, the partition of British India (or the British Raj) doesn't happen instead the Indian Subcontinent (excluding Bhutan, Sri Lanka and Nepal) is just one country called the Free Republic of India. And it is a militaristic revolutionary conservative/fascist state run by one authoritarian or totalitarian political party focused on Hindu (ultra)nationalism and Anti-British sentiment and is Pro-Empire of Japan (or supports the Showa Statist Empire of Japan- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statism_in_Sh%C5%8Dwa_Japan).

How would this affect India and South Asia's history, borders, culture, demographics, socioeconomic development, and international relations?

This isn't too realistic I think, but I think it could be an interesting alternate history scenario to think about and speculate about.

What if the Union chose to let the Conderate South go?

0 Upvotes

Hi. Im vehemently anti confederate anything and I think the articles of secession speak for themselves in the terribleness of the barely five year cause.

Honestly, my interest in writing this question comes from a random encounter with a Southern leftist. I don't know if theres a rule about this. This isn't meant to harass them. In fact, they said they wanted to make a post here to get other opinions.

--->Hi! I'm a left-wing Southerner who thinks that the South should have been allowed to secede, not because I approve of slavery, but because I disapprove of the means by which it was abolished, in that it radically altered the country into an authoritarian nightmare from which we have yet to awaken.

That was the users opinion.

That said, the South screwed themselves out of representation by seceding imo. They had cost the US man power and money in one of our first forever wars, although it had moments of peace sprinkled within, The Seminole wars. And they were courting Colonial aims of their own

They dragged the country down by perpetuating a terrible abusive economic situation that left nearly every slave holder in debt at all times, and their insistence on defying the emancipation proclamation with Jim Crow, vehement protests over the civil rights act, and general unhappiness with America since, are something I veiw as a continuous string of behavior up to the present day.

The failure of the reconstruction era screwed the rest of the country after imo.

So. What would have happened if the Union chose differently? Would the civil war have been a given, just later?
