The Plot Against America is the latest what-if series about the rise of fascism to arrive on our screens. But while some are sensitively-made, others risk glorifying disturbing beliefs

topping the world and getting off is what TV drama lets us do. Any fiction creates some kind of alternative reality, even if it’s just our own world with imaginary characters. But right now, the alternative history drama, where we exchange our present for a life in which humanity took a different path, is big. HBO’s, is just the latest show to comment on our current political reality by placing us at a hypothetical crossroads.

Didn't they!?

I don’t think BLM would be around to bitch about equality’s & rights they already have

But the nazis did win..usa and europe have continued to wage wars for territory..oil..and looting resources from poor Asian.. african and Latin countries..more people have died in these wars than ww2...

Sikhs in the Jutland peninsula are ruling, controlling , dominating. I am in hell. Excelsior and her retired Gods are near nonexistent, mythological again. Desist.

Far right or left are countermands to inordinate rise of the other polarity. If nazis regained control of their nations, then the system balances as order is restored. Religious domination of any kind is unhealthy in a free society. some nations are fully religopoliticised.Choice

There's many alternative histories in real life also which is why you have so many lacking types believing in the NWO etc

What do you mean what if? Someone's not been paying attention these last four years.

Meanwhile, Mr.Putin would be the Gauleiter of the Russia anyway.

Tories using masks to control population,

It prevented the communization of half of Europe by the Soviets.

What if the Communist Chinese Party wins?

We wouldn't have drag queen story hour or grooming gangs

They would have voted leave

Her leuntment Cummings!

God forbid we might have a Nazi in the White House and Downing Street

Stick around, we'll find out.

What if the Chinese win? A more realist question not hypothetical !

If the Nazis had won, life would be inexorably worse today. However, Trump is making a great pitch to make that fact untrue. If you think the Trump rant is not quite deafening in the UK, come to the States, where it fills the air with vitriol and churns the stomach daily.

I can't believe how many compare our modern societies to Europe under the Nazis. You have no idea what Nazism was and how lucky you are.

They lost against capitalism...which is the slowest and coolest way to pervert people minds...

they DID in fascist Oz. 'Pig Iron' Bob Menzies LNPartei, since 1944...

That is not what alternative history means

which story did you read at school

What if Trumo won? Or Johnson got a huge majority.

They didn’t. But the rise of the libnazis is the threat we now face and we ignore it at our peril.

It feels like they did lately

i shudder to think of the prospect. as an American i am proud of our Greatest Generation [and for all the allies] for the sacrificies they and their families made to preserve freedom.

Our the Indians for that matter! Yes I mean the Native Indians.

It would be a much better place

I think it may give something to do with fascist rhetoric rearing its ugly head back in political discourse.

Comrade Corbyn welcomes antisemitism into a once honourable and decent party

With assistance by Corbyn

Nazis and fascist are in the UK 51.8% of them

right now, here in the states, it sorta seem like the Nazis are back and winning.

If the Nazis won it would be people on the right playing identity politics and trying to rewrite our history and trash our culture instead of the left.

ЕСЛИ БЫ У БАБУШКИ БЫЛ БЫ ХУЙ , ОНА БЫЛА БЫ ДЕДУШКОЙ

edglasgow59 Have you not been paying attention to the EU? They did bloody win!

If Britain had allied with the Nazis then they would have won and Britain would still be speaking English. The biggest difference would be that Britain would be a safe homogeneous and prosperous white country. Instead we've now got a multiracial hell-hole with foreign rape gang.

Then Ferdinand Piech would be alive and Richard Noble would be dead?

Good show but they fucked up ending.

If the Nazis had won, I wonder if Twitter would exist? And if so, would a leftist, woke mob be complaining about the Third Reich being racist Nazis?

They did, because all they loved is still alive in the right wingers. We fought a war, but they won.

I think you mean 'had won.'

They did. Look around you.

The nazis never lost ...don’t forget that

piersmorgan would have been in his element.

This was just wrong. We tried to watch it. Said NO.

What do you mean what if?

It would be more socially acceptable to spray paint 'he was a racist' on statues of Churchill.

Nazis who force people to wear muzzles will face severe consequences

We may have been better off in the long run

Who sits around wondering what NaziWorld would be like? Like, would it be THAT much different than what we have now? FuckNazis

Depends on who is writing the screenplay... and who is funding the desired narrative.

they haven't lost yet. They are on the rise again step by step through the democratic system, just like hitler but in multiply countries.

What if we wake up tomorrow and these three young men be executed for criticizing the islamic regime? What if these executions turn out to be genocides of the 21st century? Shame on YOU for being silent! AmirHosseinMoradi SaeedTamjidi MohammadRaja اعدام_نکنید

The Germans have won.

Founders of Fascism Benito Mussolini - Marxist (Official) Giovanni Gentile - Socialist Jean Allemane - Socialist Georges Valois - Socialist Marcel Deat - Socialist Jacques Doriot - Communist Henri de Man - Socialist Nicola Bombacci - Communist

They didn't?

Rufus Sewell should win all the awards for High Castle.

Ask Alberta...we Albertans know exactly what it is like if the nazi's won.

I was wondering... what if the Human League had played Live Aid ?

They have. Just took longer than they expected (and very few are now German)

What if black people won

What if African people won

Childish

This has been done thousands of times.

So wolfenstein basically

Is everyone dumb af now.....seriously. You're outraged over fiction Every fiction book is technically an alternative history you know. Worry about things that are actually detrimental to something you wastes of matter

Direct your hate towards these people while we slowly achieve our comrades dream

Why do we need to watch TV to see what it would have been like of the Nazis win, when the new Rainbow Reich is plaguing earth right now?

'You don't have to be German to be a Nazi':

Well, there would be no racism for sure 🤣

White people wouldnt be minorities in England by 2065

They didn’t

Good article, but focusing solely on WW2 AUs is limiting. What about the opposition to Confederate or the more utopian AU of the Netflix series Hollywood?

They didnt, couldn't and never will.

That plot was pursued in an original Star Trek episode, may have been 2 part

We would be speaking German.

None of this would be happening. Just saying.

I thought that literally everyone was a Nazi these days?

They’ve not lost yet.

The world feels like they did of recent years and attitudes x

1931 who financed them Corporations Networked individuals Media Not just Brazil

There would be no left wing Marxist idiots like the Guardian newspaper.

One thing is for sure, they would be masking and manipulating the Covid numbers.

Read SSGB 30 years ago. It's not a new thing.

Erm 2016

They did win. It just took a while.

Why do we have a hundred shows and films a year about the nazis, and precisely zero shows about the communists? Could it be that the entire media and film industry is in the hands of far left communist sympathisers? I think the evidence from the last few months is clearly yes.

Here’s a mind bender: what if the Nazis lost and every Nazi or Nazi sympathizer or intelligence asset or emigre scientist had been part of a global Truth-and-Reconciliation movement.

ridiculous and insulting really fcking insulting

But they have. Don't you see it. MAGA2020

Wait, they haven’t?
