Why does everyone presume he axis powers would divide the whole world by themselves? We could have had a situation with multiple independent powers.

Racial awareness, stating racial preferences was acceptable and mainstream 100 years ago (and probably for the entire human history).
Even US presidents used to say that blacks should be sent back to Africa, that they aren't compatible with whites and stuff like that.

Then, at some point (post WW2? 1960s?) things started to change, to the point that now in the West stating racial preferences or suggesting segregation is taboo and political suicide.
How and why did that happen?

probably after ww2. women at home had to go to work to industry since men werent there and they realized they werent so useless so started asking for more right. things escalated after that.

it was probably right at that time, i think most people take out their best in a hostile environment, but now is degeneracy

I think it was several factors that kinda happened at the same time and empowered each other:
-post WW2 paranoia (nationalism = Hitler)
-prosperity, social safety (it makes societies more matriarchal/feminist)
-desire for cheap labor (justifying immigration)
-traditional values (religion) losing power, leaving space for nihilism and individualism

Just off top of my head, probably more.
All of this slowly snowballed and turned into this ridiculous state we're in now.

Because modals are systems which act as tools we can use to actualize a certain reality, and religons are modals we use to actualize a spiritual one.

Was the USSR even a superpower?

I really don't think the USSR was ever a superpower. China today is much stronger than USSR back in the Cold War and we don't consider China a superpower.

Think about it. At the time of Khrushchev the soviet union barely had any strategic bombers. The US had 1500 operational strategic bombers by the early 60s while the soviets had no more than 40. The USSR could never throughout most of the cold war threaten the US continent. Even if a single strategic bomber had slipped US air defense, the Soviets would not live to order the next nuclear bomb.

What does /his/ think? Was USSR even a superpower?

In 1980 it had a smaller economy than Japan.

All its territory and client states together had a lower population, GDP, and industrial capacity than modern China on its own.

Modern China also has nukes, and Japan can build some whenever they want.

Nihilism doesn't tell you to kill yourself or be depressed, you can still enjoy life and be happy while being a nihilist, and maybe even be good to other people (since that might give you pleasure, just like eating something or whatnot)

So?

I've been running this through my head for a while now but what if there was a separate timeline that diverged from ours right up until Germany's Polish Question and instead of Germany invading Poland they for whatever reason delayed it and the Soviet Union invaded first. Then this event causes the Axis & Allied Powers to fear a possible Soviet invasion into Europe and unite to repel it. What with the Allies consisting of UK & France as it did in our timeline and the Axis only containing Germany and Italy and the other Axis Balkan members. The reason why I would think to leave Japan out of the Axis is their desire to steal allied colonies and now that the Axis is unwilling to go to war with the Allies at this point Japan somewhat works together with the Soviets which eventually leads to a Pearl Harbor that brings the US into the War at whatever stage the war is currently at. My question is how would this scenario work and could it have been a better outcome?

Impossible, as SU would never invade Poland alone. They literally waited with attack until 17th September only because they were afraid of allies intervention. They invaded when they were sure, that France and GB didn't give a damn about Poland.

I thought they delayed because they were wrapping up stuff in Khalkhyn Gol.
