Can I get an opinion on a setting I'm planning on doing? It involves alternative history a little bit but I'm not sure if the mention of it is dumb fluff or not.

But still, anyone want me to post the short summary and tell me if it's stupid or not?

Here's North America in my alt-his.
The US succeeds in 1812, and releases Quebec as an ally, giving them a bit of What's now Maine and New Brunswick in exchange for St. Pierre and Miquelon, which France gifted to Quebec upon her independence. The US and the UK have a deal regarding Newfoundland, where they rule it jointly.
At this time, also, slavery is outlawed in the US, and slaves are moved to Britain's Caribbean colonies. Later on, other Caribbean colonies of other countries are united as one black country, and nearly all blacks in the Americas live there. Other countries own much of the land there, but it's all officially under its own rule. Named Afrocaribbia, speaks Arabic.
Soon after Texas joins the US, civil war breaks out over something else. Maybe regarding being allied with Britain. Quebec betrays the US, take Ontario, and the CSA successfully secedes. All three make a deal regarding the land to the west of the Mississippi, and that land becomes a new country for Indians.
Also, the CSA eventually changes its language to German, to completely cut ties with the USA, and because of its huge influx of Germans. The CSA and USA change their names to The Confederated American States of Dixieland, and The Republic of the United American States of Yankeedom, respectively. Quebec is just Quebec.

>>55185132
The Indian country, I'll call it Plainsland for now, has a deal with its neighbors, where it will rent out land to them, which they rent out to any of their citizens who want to live over there and farm, log, mine, Etc. It has about an equal number of Indian citizens, and white non-citizens in its borders.
California secedes from Mexico, and gets hold of all of the land currently Yellow or Tan. The Tan land gets filled with Mormon-like people, and secedes from California to become a Theocracy.
Plainsland has no official language, California speaks Spanish, Deseret speaks some made-up language, Alaska speak Russian. The latter three are all white, with California the least so.
Central America stays united, and wins some land from Mexico. Cuba and the Bahamas, as it is know, unites somehow.
Mexico loses many of its influential white Spaniards to California, and, spurred by its recent humiliations, has a nationalist revolution. It changes its language to some Aztec one, and becomes a monarchy. Soon after, Central America changes its language to some Mayan language. Cuba stays Spanish-speaking.
Lastly, Alaska and Hawaii. After Britain lost Canada, Russia took even more land, not fearing losing it to Britain. But during the Russian revolution, the next in line to the throne is in Alaska. He forms the Tsardom of Alaska, and gets an influx of Russian monarchists. The Kingdom of Hawaii takes over most Pacific islands, with support from Australia, which becomes Britain's biggest colony after losing Canada, and take the US' place in opening Japan.
>>
>>55185137
Also, Cuba and the Bahamas gets Bermuda from Britain, Greenland stay Danish, and Yankeedom holds onto even more Virginia in this one.
And that's just North America.
Even if it's kinda stupid, just look at those sexy borders. And tell me you don't like the idea of more languages on the continent.

I figure the early "politicians," or, really, the quarter black governors put in charge by Britain and the US, would want to have a language to unite the many blacks in their new nation, and would use either Arabic or whatever African language most of the newest arrivals speak. It would, obviously, end up completely different, what with languages straight from Africa and European ones learned by former slaves mixing into the official language.

Yeah, that's why I said it'd be a creole of those languages, not Arabic. While many of the OG slaves were muslims, they don't really speak Arabic outside of prayers, of which only the learned or the priests would actually understand.
tl;dr: Arabic is a poor choice for Afrocarribeans.
>>
>>55186021
Yeah, it would be a creole.
I just figure that the early governors would think of Arabic pretty early on as a good choice for a nationally unifying language.

Don't forget the bit where the Draka conquer all of Europe because nobody wanted to ally with Nazi Germany, even though in that universe the military kills Hitler in 1942.

In a world where the Holocaust couldn't have got going, the stigma of the Nazis blinds everyone to the threat of the invading Afrikaans who impale entire conquered populations, publicly advocate for total genocide against all non-Afrikaans.

That depends. Hitler loved his propaganda, but military came before everything else, even more than in the case of the Soviets, who militarized out of fear following the civil war less than the sort of idealized warmongering of the Nazis.

If the Nazis managed to end the war for a time, especially if they managed to actually secure access to minerals (remember, that was something they struggled with), I'd say they could have had spaceflight just as fast as the Soviets.

Stalin did nothing wrong you kulak.
Stalin was a product of the circumstances following the Civil War, and while overly authoritarian, the purges are overplayed and legitimate examples of sabotage downplayed. At the end of the day, Stalin preserved a degree of the workplace democracy the Bolsheviks were founded on while regularly purging the bureaucracy which would later stagnate into something much, much worse

1) That number seems to change every time I hear it

2) The oft-cited death counts are both ludicrous if you know anything about Soviet populations and descended from people like Robert Conquest, who cites hearsay and worked for the IRD (Information Research Department) of the British propaganda wing

3) Don't try to guilt me fashboy, Uncle Joe actually left his country better than he entered it. Your idol left behind a legacy of shitty crosses built on slave labour and ineffectual parliaments staffed with ex-fascists.

When Francisco left the world, his people all agreed never to talk about his again.

OTL America had nukes before Germany fell the original plan was to nuke Berlin to force Germany to surrender but they surrendered before that. Also Germany had a garbage nuclear program that was going along the wrong path to build a nuclear weapon.

Friend of mine came up with an Alt-History thing which lead up to the Not-Fallout TTRPG with fantasy races like Bugbears, Elves, Dwarves, etc.

Long story short, humans are everywhere, Eastern Europe nobility/society were elves, Dwarves were Scandinavian, Russian, Western Europe cultures. Bugbear and Goblins are in Africa. Orcs are the Eastern USA Indian tribes, the western USA tribes are Gnolls, Aztec/Incan society are saurians lizard folk, other places needed to be fleshed out.

Stuff that changed: the Orcs did not suffer mass die-offs since they had hardy immune systems.
Human colonists were welcomed and their elven handlers/nobles/owners died to "Arrow in the head" disease. This isn't discovered until centuries later, cue American revolution.
No Indian wars for conquest, and since the original human colonists were effectively elven slaves, no Civil War.
WWI we stay out.
WWII, Operation Valkyrie works, Hitler assassinated along with his psychotic inner-circle, new chancellor asks for America's assistance, we consider it.
England launched a surprise attack on New York, we join the Axis against England/France/Russia.
Russia vows to "Fight to the last". We drop a nuke on Moscow when Stalin was giving a speech. Russia surrenders the next day.

The rest is alternate future leading to fallout where characters like mine can exist; an Apache Gnoll Bodyguard with an assault rifle and intimidate checks because I'm a savage who eats the hearts of my enemies.
(It was a CULTURAL thing, and we stopped that in the 1850's when Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant told the tribes that Orcs and Humans consider it desecrating the dead, not a gesture of RESPECT!)

>>55189518
USSR didn't "Die" it was forcibly dissolved against the people's wills by the work of fucking Yeltsin with the compliance of Gorbachev. Stagnation was largely to blame on the claustrophobic embrace of the Post-Stalin bureaucracy. Between the shift towards an export economy when one of Stalin's big goals was self-sufficiency, the overspecialisation of Soviet regions under Khrushchev, the Corn-Lord's disastrous attempt to revitalize agriculture and subsequent negligence in said area, and the mass corruption and personal petty politics that went on both in forums and factories, the economy turned into a strange hybrid attempting to be capitalistically socialist. Such an attempt resulted only in the Soviet economy eating itself and the growth of a hegemonic new ruling class of bureaucrats, of whom Yeltsin was the highest and most final example.

South Korea wasn't doing so hot either. And Japan got firebombed and nuked - twice - in WW2. Great Britain was bombed to hell and back by the Germans in the same war, France was occupied and ravaged...I could go on. But do you know what they all have in common besides the fact that afterwards they rebuilt themselves relatively quickly? They weren't married to a flawed economic model which has failed hard everywhere it's been tried.

Yankees is a nickname.

You wouldnt call the UK "the United Torries of Britain." or Russia "the Russian Federation of Ivans."

Both of those names sound fucking idiotic.

The "United American States" works. Or "American Republic" or "Republic of American States.

for the CSA you could use "The Confederacy of American States" "American Confederated States" "The Confederacy of America" and a few more examples. You could also replace America with the word "Dixie" and I think it would work just fine. Dixieland and Yankeedom sounds like someone from the other side is insulting them

The word Yankee is fine. Calling it "Yankeedom" sounds like someone is insulting them.

Yankee is like Ivan, Tory, Jerry. A familiar nickname. Making it part of the official name of a country seems really off. But you may be able to get Yankee to work.

Yankeedom does not and "The Republic of the United American States of Yankeedom" is fucking insane,

Oh ya its funny, but Im assuming you want to make a universe that is believable for people to live in. Which is where the name becomes insane.

I already made my argument against that word so ill say I think the better sounds better. This issue is that Yankee and Dixie arnt the same thing, Yankee is a nickname for people/culture while Dixie is a nickname for land. Its why Dixie works.

If you are dead set on working with Yankee, treat the word Yankee like Dixie so "United Yankee States" (Basically replace the word American with Yankee and it can work)

The rest of the history works just fine. Would be willing to play a roleplaying game in the universe

Ministry of Space is definitely one of my preferred alts.

It pulled Russia out of the Dark Ages, made it into a world superpower and lasted for 72 years, which is longer than the current constitutions of France and Germany have been in use.
The difference was that Lenin and Castro actually knew their shit when it came to politics, and Kim Il-Sung was a megalomaniac retard.

>>55194947
Communism did not manage to mechanise the soviet economy. What happened was that Communism used Slave Labour to permit Russia to exploit resources that they now had the technology to do so. Most of the mechanisation/reform of the economy had happened under Alexander II and III, its simply that the communists reduced the time it took to see the full effects, by creating artificial famines to reduce the number of people who had to be supplied with the new skills and tools. The cities were basically already fully developed before the revolution, all communism did for them is ruin a bunch of historical buildings, and kill a bunch of poor people, , which lessened the impact of the artificial famines.

Autism. You asked what self-sufficiency has to do with North Korea, and I answered.

Lenin and Castro founded the dictatorships which lead their nations to ruin. Didn't Lenin say that "a good Communist is also a Chekist"? Yeah, I believe he did:

>In 1921 the Troops for the Internal Defense of the Republic (a branch of the Cheka) numbered at least 200,000. These troops policed labor camps; ran the Gulag system; conducted requisitions of food; subjected political opponents to secret arrest, detention, torture and summary execution; and put down rebellions and riots by workers or peasants, and mutinies in the desertion-plagued Red Army.

Not an apologist for tyranny, sorry.

The US props up the Republic of China against the communists to prevent TWO such nations from existing in the Far East.

They didn't count pollution in that chart, because it's about... y'know, killing people, not dealing with some 21st issue that wasn't even widely regarded at the time these people were in power. But if they did then yes, Stalin would've "caused" a ton of pollution.

No, we just don't want someone trying to deviate one clear statement by changing the goalpost all because of his shitty political views.
Basically: nobody fucking cares but you take
"but precious few fans of that other great slaughterhouse of the 20th century. So congrats. I guess."
and turn it into a rant about how brits killed a lot of people in the 1800s and that the europeans and capitalism are to blame for disease and every native death in the americas since the 1500s (despite, again, there not being a significant amount of them in the 20th century...).
But sure, I'm the one trying to move things around and use "technicalities".

What you have to understand is how huge the Apollo program was. It occupied 2.2% of the GDP of the largest economy on earth for a number of years. Each Saturn 5 launch cost 375 million dollars. In addition, the Apollo project drew from all fields of science. Questions were answered from how do you create the mighty f1 engine to how do we keep dust and glass micro fragments from fucking up our astronauts on the way there. So it can be assumed that the German moon effort would not be accomplished prior to the real life Apollo program.

America, throughout history, has been incredibly reluctant to occupy enemy territory permanently, instead preferring to set up "democratic" puppet governments once they're beaten. They did it with Japan, Germany, and various other smaller countries they've "liberated" during their time as a world power. In order to justify the occupation of oversea lands America would need to adopt a more radical ideology, which means it leans either towards the US or towards the USSR, which at that point it's simply easier to justify the change in political climate came from losing the war and being set up as a puppet government itself. Occupied America is stupid though and would never happen, American puppet governments have always been more believable to me

>I always liked the notion of a more careful and deliberate WW2 Germany.
I always think the best for Germany would have been if Adolf would have died in one of his many assassination attempts after building up the NSDAP and with someone actually sane and realistic replacing him as Fuehrer.

Alternatively not FUCKING UP THE MOLOTOV-RIBBENTROP PACT AND INVADING THE SOVIET UNION...
I mean you'd have Francoist Spain, Vichy France, Germany (plus French, Dutch, Czech, Polish etc. occupied provinces), Axis Hungary and Romania, Mussolini Italy. Simply let Russia be, point your middle-finger at Britain over the Channel and maybe have a few campaigns in Africa. I mean that must be enough Lebensraum or whatever that term was.

Problem is that West really had enough of Byzantine bullshit and we're glad that they don't have to deal with them. Cassiodorus a great patriot of Roman culture, and zealous defender of Latin simultaneously fought off Byzantine influence. And he was not alone. West really, really didn't like cesaropapism and beuocracy of Byzantim.
To this scenario to be even slightly possible you woudl have to have Pope moved into direct Ceasar influence (it ain't happening since Pope was the one who crowned ceasar at least once and it's enough of precedence) and you would have to have Cluniac Reforms to just don't happen.

anon, for fucks sake, if you want to know something about a ideology read it first, endless war is LITERALLY a part of fascism. That's like saying class warfare is not a part of communism
>>
>>55200389
No it is not. Fascism acknowledges the fact that struggle for survival between competing groups of humans is a constant factor of our species existence, and does not shy away from war if it is deemed necessary for the survival of ones own people. However, fascism does not promote endless, pointless war.

I am read well in fascism, because I am a fascist, more precisely, I am a national socialist, because given everything that I have learned so far about the world and the human condition, it is the most logical world view to adopt if I wish to ensure the security and well being of my people, who are the only people about whom I care about in this world.

>Oh, no, I'm no Nazi. I just prefer them over Communists.
Dumbest shit I've read this day.
They're YOUR team, so of course all those millions murdered in the name of blood and soil and politics (and revolutions) don't count, but oh, those millions murdered in the name of the revolutions (and blood and soil and politics) do, because they're not YOUR team.
Surely the nazis would have stopped at one point with murder and said "shit, this is horrible, let's stop", while the communists would have committed one exterminatus after the the next, something the nazis would have never done, proofing once and for all that communism is worse.
Because you're an asshole.

Commies would rob and murder me because I was born into wealthier than average family, as well as do their utmost to destroy my heritage and culture so that the party would become my sole focal point in society.

Whereas Nazis would kill commies, internationalists, bankers and other parasitic scum while doing their utmost to ensure the continued existence of my people. I sure as hell know where my allegiances lie in this fight.

No, not really.
The Cofederacy had massive economical trouble, lost WWI utterly and got devastated and destroyed in WWII.

As I said, assholes too dumb too see beyond their choosen tribes.
Hey, move to Russia and Poland, if you're lucky you can live in an actual fascist dictatorship there soon.
Or North Korea, the ultimate proof that extreme left/right are empty and worthless labels (except they wouldn't let you, because you weren't born in the only right country).

There is nothing to see beyond my tribe, for to me, my tribe and the survival of my tribe, is all that matters. No future where my tribe no longer exists, is acceptable to me, and I'd rather see that no other tribe than my tribe existed, than accept a scenario where my tribe has died out.

My people and our survival, is above everything else to me.

I think that we all know that it was the international capitalists and bankers that ultimately won that struggle. Now we live in the aftermath of their victory, in a materialistic world where our societies are ruled by money and any higher ideals have been discarded as worthless.
The more I observe our decadent, consumerist, hedonistic culture, the more disgusted I grow with it. Surely, there must be more to life than this?

Blablablablabla
Holow and worthless tripes, the kind of thing you would disregard whenever shit hits the fan massively.
It's easy to talk big on the interwebs, isn't it?
Oh, aren't you a badass
But hey, at least a good excuse to not move to Russia and suck some Putincock. Seems to be all the rage with nazis and other fascists these days.

I actually came to my views when I tried to think of what I would be willing to give my life for, and the only answer I could come to was "my family". Everything in my world view, stems from that ultimate realization, that to me, my highest value in life, is my family, and the survival and safety of my family.

>But hey, at least a good excuse to not move to Russia and suck some Putincock.
Why would I move to Russia?
Russians aren't my people. They are foreigners, who inflicted hundreds of years of tyranny upon my people. I have no reason to mingle among them. I desire to be with my people, and fight for the safety and survival of my people.

Try to actually engage with me in an discussion, instead of attacking strawmen.
>>
>>55202531
Why is it that I can never actually get a decent response, instead people who oppose my tribalist views post nothing but adhominems and strawmen?
I'd love to have an actual discussion about these matters with someone with a different viewpoint.

Stalin was gearing up for a war in the 50s, the whole point (well, part of it) was taking the SU out before it got too far head of Germany&Friends.

How is anyone supposed to argue with you when you seem to live in some specious alternate reality exclusive to you alone?
>>
>>55202798
/tg/ isn't the place for that, man. Go to your University's debate club, or something.
Post alt-his.

Based on what? What statement of mine do you object to as an "alternative reality"?

>>55202879
But talking about how communism is totally great is /tg/?
>>
>>55202898
No, that's even worse.
>>
>>55202974
Well, good on you for being consistent on refusing politics on /tg/.
