So let’s start with the first claim about all that World War 2 nonsense. So let’s fact check this counterfactual, and see just how wrong this brand of American exceptionalism is. The problem is that this counterfactual is actually counter factual, ie filled with half truths, technically truths, and outright bullshit. How can something that didn’t happen be proved that it wouldn’t happen. Of course this is a counterfactual, and as such is virtually impossible to prove wrong. For those who don’t want to subject themselves to what I just did, it’s a video that postulates, without US intervention, World War II would have ended in a stalemate, the EU never would have formed, colonialism would have prospered, Korea would be unified under communism, and Japan would remain an Imperial Power. How are those last two not mutually exclusive is a mystery. Okay so I came across this youtube video: What If: World Without the US, and frankly, it broke my brain. u/NMW on Second-Opinion Bias and Our Sub's MissionĬards Against History - Custom BadHistory Cards Against Humanity Set
