It seems that there are alot of complaints about HBO’s planned new tv show about what things would be like if the Confederacy had won. Could someone tell me why this is not acceptable but a show about what things would be like if the Nazi’s had won, was acceptable? Is there a difference that I am not seeing?
The Civil War remains controversial in the U.S. while Nazis do not. Everybody hates Nazis. The Civil War is more complicated. That’s my best guess.
Alternative history, (not to be confused with alternative facts) has been a genre for decades. And I pretty sure there have been novels about where the Confederacy didn’t fall. I remember this comic book at least, although I’ve never read it.
I saw at least one person on twitter who said they’ve never watched this HBO series, which would be amazing if they did as it’s not even in production yet.
