How Alt-History Can Be Dangerous

There's a reason I called my incredibly silly "Tom Hanks the Frog Woman" idea for an alternate history split the most cursed one that wasn't just thinly veiled fascist wish fulfillment, or something to that effect.

Imagine your most popular works and achievements watched and talked about are about other people. Maybe make a video people will want to watch that is worth watching instead of accusing everyone of falling out of your college learned talking points about politics. Looooserrrr. Also you seem to lack excitement and are boring.

Not the heckin unwholesome disturbing ideas guys! Not the heckin far right PROBLEMATIC ideas!!

Don't you dare put my boy alternate history hub with people like whatifalthist

Man I am too far into this, I wanted to enjoy some of the history war and saw one whatifalthist, now all I get is just deep fried history thumbnails. This is just pure chaos.

"So, the semi-slaver company that promotes and funds political assassinations and coups just got expelled from a country for some reason? I guess the most sensible thing to do is try to send that whole country into absolute economic ruin."
*A few years later*
"What do you mean they're commies now?"

Is the thumbnail implying Alt History Hub is “alt right”? lol

Many of your criticisms don’t seem to apply to that creator. Such as “falsely implying one event in a war would change the outcome”.

I feel like everyone of his videos usually start with “So many things would have to change to support this alternative outcome, you take this video as a thought experiment”

He’s quite critical of most all extremist belief and political systems.

Your video seems like an example of “everyone I disagree with is a literal Nazi”

Definitely watch out for that whatifalthist guy, if you think the MonsiuerZ guy is bad his stuff makes me wanna bash my head against a wall.

POV: Average INGSOC Fan

BOOOHOOO 😊

I only ever noticed Mr Z’s biases when I was told about it by someone in the comments of a different channel (I don’t remember who) and once that happened I decided not to watch anymore of his videos

Yeah I love AH. Wait, what's alt history?

History is the study of past events that explain the present. Presenting history as some kind of story that tells lessons is inaccurate, and can lead us away from truth to attempts to change things into narratives and propoganda.

My brother in Christ just stoo whining

I was worried there was something I was missing with alternatehistoryhub based on your thumbnail, but I was happy to see you highlighted him as a positive example in the description

After spending too much time on HoI4 subreddits, I can confidently say that Alternate History is just Historical Fanfiction mixed with political bias.

Turks need to hear that

my brother in Christ, “nationalizing” (which is just code word for stealing private property) all of those industries and then proceeding to do what they were doing but worse, isnt good

"Disturbing ideas"

Translation - "Facts that do not fit my far-left ideology".

I watched couple of his vids and first impression was that he is this one-book-and-pro kind of a type. Further following revealed nonsense and unproductive waste of time and data. Dude is boring, ignorant and at times malicious.

"history is subjective and nobody's take on it is true"
"now let's talk about why my take is true and the other guy is wrong"

Whats the name of the Sea Power song in the video?

You are cringe in many of the same ways the right wingers are. Why do normal people never care for alt history? Its always crazy people on the extremes.

RAGED WOKE LMAO

I like Cody, he is a silly little guy that gives me my mappies.

Relax communist, it's just an alternate history video

Ok Communist

Alt history is dangerous when it has the most mediocre Clichés. Like small useless movements gaining full power like the British union of fascists.

This man is literally defending Fidel Castro. You can smell the communist bias emanating from this video.

Bro it’s not serious. It’s an interesting concept about what would have happened if something happened. And you’re pretending like I’m most Alternate history hub videos, like the ones you mention, he outlines that the scenario is pretty much impossible if, it is impossible. You are a liar and a cheat sir.

My issue with some alt-history is how many western alt-history types have a very little to no actual understanding of Latin America when they make videos involving the region

"everyone that disagrees with me is hitler"
i refuse to even watch a video that labels fucking AHhub with mon z on the thumbnail with a clickbait attached to it
clearly you don't want to argue with good faith only point fingers and smear those you disagree with
ps. i shitted myself

But i wanna know what a world would look like if carthage won

Cody isnt alt right tho

"but many creators use alt-history as a trojan horse for disturbing ideas."

Disturbing to whom? You?

I don't think it's wrong when libsocs/demsocs create works that masks itself as apolitical, in order to draw people to those ideologies ―because i don't think these ideologies are bad. i think, however, that reactionary ideologies are bad, and so i also believe pushing people to these ideologies with works is bad.

nothing bad about trying to get people to understand what your message is ―it's the message itself that i think should be criticised.
good video though

the disco elysium music <3

Lol he artificially lowered his voice to not sound like the dweeb he is

i think modern AHHub has hit that perfect balance between informative and realistic, his videos have definitely improved with time and as a long time viewer he's come a long way. not perfect and definitely guilty of a few of the sins you mentioned but I think he's found his footing. anyways, good video, hope you have a nice day

Why Fredda’s homosexuality is dangerous

That is my biggest problem today with our history stories. The fact that so much is opinion and filled in and it's not even told to you as well. I respect people that will say these are the facts in. This is the only thing that we actually know and from that this is what we can extrapolate.

But how is this feeding because of slavery not also the same as doing it because of state rights? Real question would be if it was solely because of slavery and it was then yes

Whatifalthist is all "as an unbiased public intellectual I conclude that the USA is the final bastion of freedom against the communist world order, I'm so glad I didn't get an education"

Im scared of alt history 😭😱

Your the one literally saying having thoughts is dangerous

It's important to be aware of and acknowledge your biases



oh yeah i live in Western Europe in 2023 and the reason why i believe trans women are women and it's one race the human race and White Christian bankers control wall st is simply because of objective reason and logic

I while back I stumbled upon a Monsieur video about Italy in ww2.
He had a guest over who said that Mussolini was kicked out of the socialist party in 1919 because they talked too much about gay rights.
I know a lot about Italian history and politics, I make videos about it and currently work as a journalist, and that was the dumbest thing I'd ever heard.
1919 was in the middle of the red years, people were angry over the mutilated victory and a lot of socialists and anarchist groups made demonstrations in the streets to get better working conditions, voting rights and the economy was pretty bad. I strongly doubt that Filippo Turati, at the time leader of the socialists, gave a damn about gay rights.
The way Monsieur portrays history can be entertaining at times, but the dude is so far up his ass that it's insulting. I really enjoyed this video and I hope it gets to him so that he knocks it off with the nonfactual videos he publishes.

i would like to see an alt history about what would’ve happened if the first settlers came to america, gave the native americans guns, and left.
