Alt-Right WorldHistorians agree that the end of the world began with the rise of digitally-organized revolutionary movements. As a means to an end or for the lulz, they brought down global institutions and completely remade the world in what is now known as the Happening. Cracks in the old order began to show in 2016 with the election of Donald Trump, who was quickly followed in Europe by Marine Le Pen andΒ the Alternative fΓΌr Deutschland. Brexit started a domino effect that collapsed the European Union, while Trump's America fought painfully to withdraw from the world. While the western democracies bickered, the white population of South Africa rose up against the government. Foreign volunteers arrived to fight for the cause, then exported it. Before long, the world was thrown into revolution. Jets were scrambled, confused fighting broke out between nations. Things went nuclear at the end, wiping entire cities off the map. A new order was born.
President Trump found himself deadlocked with
What do you think of this scenario?

needs to actually read more of reaction. moldbug, jim, spandrell and others. Deplorably ignorant.
Amusing scenario even if it's obvious his only exposure to actual dissident right thought is calbear's moronic whiningΒ about pepe the frog fans.

Ouch, it was just for fun

How about a scenario where McCain gets the Republican nomination rather than W, wins the Presidency, and invades Iran?

I guess New California if they are really serious would last about three months at the least.

I found these "fake news" scenarios about spontaneous counter-revolutions and monarchist restorations around the world on the Mad Monarchist website.
Β
I wondered if you might be interested in these for a future scenario (perhaps including an annexation of Mexico).

A "Patriarchy" vs "Feminist" world. That is something to behold.

Perhaps you could do a world where the ideas of Henry George influence the 20th Century to the degree of OTL Marxism.

More influence I can see, but not to Marxism's level.

In this scenario, Hillary has gone Kim Il-Sung.

Indeed. Plus in a realistic scenario where there was a successful "Tianammen Revolution" in 1989, the resulting China would likely be highly corrupt and backward like OTL Yeltsinite Russia.
Multi-party system + Centralized Private Interests + No Bourgeois Traditions for Stable Institutions = A Greater Selection of Politicians to Bribe -> Greater Bargaining Power of Aforementioned Centralized Private Interests -> Politicians Paying Way More than Favours Are Worth -> Corruption More Profitable -> Corruption Widespread
I have read my Robert D Kaplan.Β
Plus, Sinkiang would probably become China's Chechnya.

USSR was barely majority-russia. China is 90% Han.
The logic doesn't work no matter how garbage the chinese government is.

Social solidarity overcomes these issues then. Studies do show that tax collection and other forms of collective action are easier in regimes where there are firm senses of ethnic identity (I.e. Apartheid South Africa but not Brazil).

Yep. Nevermind those facts, it's bannable on AH.com to point any of that out.

I was informed of this by a university professor of Chinese origin (where they lack "Western idealism " as you would say).
I was also informed that "multiculturalism" is what Plato would call a "Noble Lie" to create social cohesion. The logic goes that one defines the barriers of a culture by " the principle of negation" - you create the culture by excluding outsiders in the popular mind. Not creating barriers creates a more integrated (but less socially cohesive) society because the "outsiders" and " insiders" can not define themselves sufficiently to form their separate communities.

More like western suicidalism. A decent chunk of the US, including the imperial capital is at "two weeks is the difference between a tourist and a racist' levels" as is. I can only imagine how much more cynical on the matter I'd be if I was white tbh.

Hmm...this is an interesting scenario.

considering the likely backlash if I were fully honest with such a gimmick that's a nope. now, suitably toned down maybe

Perhaps as part of your "The Other Guy Wins", you could do a Romney 2012 scenario.

What event causes the annexation of Mexico in the Stone Jazz universe? I am trying to picture a diesel punk/stomping version of "The Recent Annexation of Mexico".
I hope that a pulp-verse will cover all the familiar themes of mad geniuses, lost civilizations (on and off Earth), Far Eastern gangsters, wise gurus, elegant starships, monolithic but vibrant architecture, and dangerous (read:brainy) dames.

Cyber, not diesal.
Why? To keep up with the US's sometimes-ally, sometimes competitor imperial china/

Out of curiosity, what is the premise of the Stone Jazz scenario?
π: 0 β©: 1
Think an old fashioned type pulp solar system, but with realistic social/political dynamics involved. Take stuff from my recent annexation of mexico and 100 days scenarios and combine if you want at least the outlines of the sort of world it'd be on earth.

Sounds most intriguing. I can't wait.

Where can I find the info on this Stone Jazz scenario? If it is not completed, I am curious to know what the premise is.
By the way, did you see my first question on Hundred Days (I made two posts and you only responded to one)?

You'll find it once I actually finish it.

Nobody has done any map for "What If Gordon Banks Had Played?" yet.

Wasn't there a site with the parts for it? find that and I'll see what I can do.

By the way, did you see my questions on "Japan moves South in 1914" and "2013 from 1996" as well as my Burgess-themed world suggestion?
π: 0 β©: 1
Thx fam. Yes to the first 2 and what's this about a Burgess-themed world?
π: 0 β©: 0
I thought it would be an interesting idea to do an Anthony Burguess-themed world incorporating elements of A Clockwork Orange and 1985.
π: 0 β©: 1
Once 1985 becomes available on openlibrary again We'll see.
Expect elements from Burgess's "The wanting seed" too.

Scratch that, found an epub of 1985.

There was an thatΒ article appeared in Futures Conditional in 1972 predicting a far more "exotic" 1970s. Perhaps you could do a scenario on this much like with the Herman Kahn projections.
Here is a link.

...There actually is an ebook for futures conditional on openlibrary so this is actually possible.
