I'm personally quite weirdet out by people with alternate history fantasies and especially concerned by those who fantasize about the Third Reich winning WW2.
Whats so bad about alternate history?
Nothing necessarily. I just find it weird. I sometimes get video recommendations for "what if X" and can't not think it's a waste of mental energy.
And exception would be if such thought plays were contextualised with current issues like "X is happening right now, Y happened before and it was similar, let's look at how things could have developed and apply that to our situation so we can make the best decisions."
i mean its entertaining, like theres tons of media out there based on this. i really recommend watching the show For All Mankind, its an alternate history where the space race in the 60s never ended
