Anyone seen Man in The High Castle? I can't enjoy it because of how impossible it would have been for the bad guys to win WW2
It banks on Roosevelt being assassinated in '33 and the U.S. not being prepared for war as a result.
I haven't seen the show, but the historical background provided in the book makes it seem at least somewhat plausible.
basically
the idea is too stupid to really work
>>51177779
germany doesn't have enough men to conquer the US, and neither would the japanese
nor would they have the logistics to do it, there are hundreds of millions of people on the american continents
they had more industrial power than europe
they had not a snowball's chance in hell of accomplishing it
lol
fucking canadians
Basically this happened because fdr was killed by nazis before america got involved and germany nuked thw us before the usa could finish their bomb, ending the war
>the bad guys

>what is fiction
>>51178027
Kek
I've read the book, it's ok.
>>51177943
Calm down m8 it's fucking fiction. At least it gives a half half reason for a seemingly impossibly scenario
>>51177628
>the bad guys
>>51178004
>killed by nazis
>no one finds out or links it to nazis
nope!!!
nothing to see here!
don't regard nazi governments with suspicion
also, german breach of military reuction treaties would spur military increases in the united states
these things happen, because that's what would happen in reality
>>51178029
>>51178075
>it's fiction so I can just make up whatever the fuck I want and YOU'RE wrong for disagreeing.
Sorry but it's just too fucking stupid and bullshit for me to buy. When Dick wrote the story people didn't know better but all of us should realize how retarded the concept is in 2015.
>>51177628
>living in the Neutral Zone
Fuck yeah, Rocky Mountains win once again
>>51177943
>Roosevelt is killed by Zangara
>the U.S. never exits the depression
>elect a bunch of sad sack presidents that continue the isolationist policy and fail to arm the country
>Battle of Britain is a victory for Hitler
>Japanese invade the USSR once Moscow is taken
>U.S. pacific fleet is entirely destroyed at Pearl Harbor
>Japan and Germany attack opposite coasts of the United States simultaneously
>fight goes out of the American people quickly after the initial success of the invasion
>surrenders completely by 1947
Not all that far-fetched m8.
>>51178316
germany's enemies would have to roll ones every day for a thousand years
>>51178496
There's stuff in the story that's way more unbelievable than that.
>talk to Americans about the movie
>they fantasize of how it must have been to have an American nazi country
>they kinda shuffle with their feet when asked if they'd prefer it to what it's like now
>"Dunno man, that's a tough question"
>>51178251
>fiction
>make up whatever the fuck I want
literally the purpose of fiction
>>51177943
Because you are so full of niggers Hitler wouldve nuked you until the government wouldve surrendered.
Then we wouldve put the niggers into showers and started to colonise Mars.
>follow a few crazy Russian independent media guys on Facebook

what happened to canada and the rest?
>>51178757
Probably left alone, who cares about Canada?
>>51178780
Lies you holocausted them
If I post a swastika in this thread, will you die?
the book wasn't that good
>>51178780
Wouldn't Canada declare war on Germany though to support Britain?
>>51178812
We wouldnt kill anglos for no reason mate.
>>51178822
too buys killing seals and drinking bad coffee
>>51178757
Germany and Japan allow it to exist as a legitimately independent bastion of liberal democracy - probably one of the more implausible aspects of the setting.
>>51177628
>bad guys
>>51178757
>>51178822
In that Scenario Britain fell long ago, I assume Canada wouldve surrendered along with them, if anybody wants something from Canada its not like they could say no, so its probably left alone for the most part, just like today kek.

>No one wants Mexico, not even the most power hungry people in history
>>51178916
They even took all of Africa.
>>51178931
Damn, they rather have backward hut niggers than Mexico.
>>51178916
>>51178956
delet this
>>51178916
>>51178956
>mad they dont get independace
>>51178931
>>51178956
To be fair, the Nazis had completely exterminated the African population by the time the story takes place.
>>51178859
we should be neutral desu
>JAPS HAVE TO PUT UP WITH CALIFORNIA
Hitler surely rused the emperor.
>>51177628
>there is no Italian clay there
Never forgetti, mom's spaghetti.

Keked.
No, but the were filming in various places a few blocks from my house for months. I was really confused about why a Nazi documentary was being filmed in BC until they put up some flyers, a few of which I took as souvenirs.
>>51178316
Yeah, and by this point. Japan and germany would have lost the majority of their militaries fighting the russians.
For then to set up a massive double invasion of the biggest country in the continet with a much greater population than both countries combined.
Yeah, not going to happen.
>>51177628
I own the book, it's really great def recommending if you have the time.
r8 my petty theft
>>51177628
I watched it 15 minutes and drop. Show about nazi which starts with a girl and kung-fu is definitely shit.
>>51179702
Wroooong.
An early fall of the USSR wouldve meant almost no losses at all, Japs wouldve swept through the tundra of nothingness mopping up partisans at best, And its their navy that made them strong their army was pretty poop.
And if you paid attention you would know that they used nukes.
>>51179702
Nukes would pretty much fuck America into submission, much like what they did to the japanese.
>>51178665
in which case he's allowed to criticise how unrealistic it is you fucking mongoloid
>>51179970
Such a weird reason to drop a show. It wasn't even kung fu and it doesn't even come up that much beyond the first episode
>>51179970
It starts in New York and the show is about the US being occupied by Germany and JAPAN, so if theres a 2 minute scene of a women taking martial art lessons I dont know how that makes no sense to you.
>>51178660
How does that make you feel?
You must have autism then
