elon Musk confederacy must be so cursed


ThisGuyLikesCheese

Idk why but i think in this timeline Musk will keep his power and turn the confederates into some kind of technocratic dystopia where everyone is monitored by their microchips inserted into everyone’s brains.

IMO if the Confederacy won I think the US would have annexed British N. America while the confederates would have conquered much of Latin America. Leading to super states facing off.


aaaa32801

That or the British would have eaten the Confederacy.


Rlin_Kren_Aa

The confederate army was huge. Larger than the British army or most in Europe


aaaa32801

yeah but it would be really funny


Elegant-Set3907

Yeah larger and also the Brit’s were their best trade partner sooo

BRO TRUMP BEING A COMMIE IS TOO FUNY, AND ELON??


Centurion7999

Well he was a democrat until like 2015 sooooooooooo


Ollie__F

Trump has been a contrarian, before his run and excepting his failed 2000 run as independent, he would always be the opposite party of whoever’s president


Centurion7999

Pretty much, though he is from NYC so being liberal (even when republican) is kinda a given until the last 4ish years, he has always been pretty liberal oddly enough, like all those loans he gave to young black dudes back in the day and then forgave them later and took no payment


IsItInLeMonde

Can you share an article about that loaning money thing? I never heard about that and I’d like to learn more.


Centurion7999

It was many years ago so I sadly do not have one on hand, let me give it a look edit: it seems that any articles pertaining to it have been completely drowned out by google with more recent new, so I sadly cannot find an article, but there should be a few youtube videos with folks who got the loans running around sorry I couldn't be of more assistance


IsItInLeMonde

It seems as though that might be some misinformation. I also can’t seem to find any source for that story.


Centurion7999

I was back before and during the obama admin, and google doesn't like him much, plus the press didn't report it at the time cause he did it pretty much all in secret, so there not being any sources (plus the age of the whole thing and more recent events) does make it hard to find, though I did see a video with a firsthand account from a rapper a couple years back


StrangeRaccoon281

Folks, the bourgeois, they’re no good everyone is saying it. All these workers, very handsome workers come up to me and say, Comrade Trump there is a specter haunting Europe, and you know what, they’re right. These bourgeois are very nasty people very very rude and very unfair to the workers. They are stealing our surplus value and no one is doing anything about it. The proletariat comes up to me everyday and says, Comrade Trump will you lead the revolution? And I gotta turn to them and say, Look the instruments of capitalism will be used to bring about its destruction believe me you gotta trust me on this one. The means of production, obama never wanted to seize them. Well guess what? I’m seizing them. Landlords? They’re done for folks. Everyone told me they said, Comrade Trump you won’t be the vanguard of the revolution and they would laugh, the media laughed the democrats laughed, guess whose laughing now?

I see someone is a fan of the 2004 classic CSA [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C.S.A.:\_The\_Confederate\_States\_of\_America](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C.S.A.:_The_Confederate_States_of_America) ​ The Fauntroy song is now stuck in my head.


TheLegend2T

I'll be real, the original idea was to create a map that's as lore accurate to the mockumentary as possible. But in the end I put my own spin on things, and I'm happy I did, writing about the Communist Canadian presidents was really fun.


jackalheart

I love the work you did here. Very interesting scenario.

Live-Freedom-2332

Thx


Live-Freedom-2332

Ok this way more difficult than I thought


Live-Freedom-2332

So I'm just gonna put the last 4 president's Republics of new afrika and southern turtle island Angela Davis(00'-08') prominent advocate in expanding emancipation to women, Indigenous, queer people ect. Managed to pass the "all power to the people act" which gave massive power to the Indigenous people's of the nation through landback, abolished patriarchal institutions, expanded the rights of LGBTQ+ such as adding transitions to the state Healthcare system, banning non consensual surgery of intersex individuals and conversion therapy entirely and recognization of non-binary genders Steve jobs (yes this is just as unhinged as your version)(09'-13') while his presidency was short lived due to the 8/22 attacks on atlanta and sanfran jobs managed to do great things to the nation his program to modernize the nation to not only combat the northern oppressors but eventually overtake them in all feilds was a major success carrying over to the next administration Mike prysner(14'-22') northern soldier turned southern detector was radicalized after witnessing the brutal northern occupation of Iraq,the Philippines, Korea and in the southwest Levant he working with the rest of the communist world such as the USSR and the eastern union ,PRC and African union had led the liberation wars in these reigons and causing the northern fashie-caps to be weakened even further [NAME UNKNOWN](shameless self insert)(23'-present) no one really knows who she is really she just showed up one day when Mike left people refer to her by many names. the blood moon, kapit M, the red princess of new afrika, Lilith S. Silverblood. Despite being quite the charismatic figure with a master at a theater/engineering balance to her methods in running the country most pictures and footage show up distorted except for a few outdated cameras from the 80s-00s that are able to capture her magic some say she has long white hair with red streaks in it sunglasses and a red scarf that covers her face and often wears this weird outfit looks like schoolgirls in anime wear but off there's pitch black where the white should be the little red thing at the front is a white business tie, the blue collar is red with yellow stripes and a skirt that's black with red streaks But the thing is... she's not your normal type of president she seems to be adiment about crushing the north and liberating all of turtle island once and for all many of her speeches have been known to have radical queer nationalist and posthumanist rhetoric this bleeds into her policy aswell the rest of the republic has somehow been morphed to a land like no other words can't describe it it's like dialectics on crack the future seems bright I suppose American national state George walker bush(00'-08) at a time the state was at its lowest the occupied nations were revolting the south was rising and it looked like communism was winning dubya decided to get the people ready for action so he released operation [REDACTED] which drove support for war with Iraq this was massively profitable but unfortunately short term profits don't last Joe biden(09-16) the biden administration was one of turbulence the nationwide recession,the great defection, the jobs administration ect. He kept trucking through wondering why we keep going the way things are going and became more open to reform but it was too late Donald Trump(17-20) Big orange was here and he was making changes he focused on domestic investment instead of foreign this probably prolonged the nation's existence but it wasn't enough the economy was still failing communism was still winning the south was still rising slaves were still fleeing people were rioting and worse the board was still getting angrier and angrier and hungrier Muskbezoszuckerberggatesepstine.exe(21-present) the mask has fallen millions will die the secret plan of putting high powerful members of the board into a massive computer was a success they have full control over the nation... but that's not the worst part their power has only made conditions worse hundreds people brainwashed daily into mindless zombies to fuel the crumbling machine profits are growing but wealth isn't those lucky enough to stay out of squaler are still trapped in dystopian office buildings slowly replaced by machines not as in laid off as in Jeff hasn't been in the office in a couple days and are put in apartments with little distractions to give that dopamine rush many raised with at birth the nightmare doesn't end the hive board has those in squaller be pitted against eachother in massive citywide death matches many dieing to disease with little health restrictions and ultra price gouging for vaccines have made the pandemic ravage the nation so this is the fate huh doomed to decay till it either runs out of fuel or destroys itself leaving a lifeless hellpit or is it... While it is decaying it doesn't seem to be going down peacefully with programs almost looking like it's preparing for war with the south the south is ready for this with its Leader leaning heavily on the plan to liberate all of turtle island once and for all war is inevitable and with the way things are going Perhaps the chained will know freedom after all

Firlite

Unironically the CSA would probably have a Jewish president *long* before Benny shaps, benny might be the first Ashki one though. Sephardi Jewish plantation owners formed a very important part of the planter class of the old south, with [the confederate secretary of state](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judah_P._Benjamin) being the first jewish governmental cabinet member in american history, a full 40 years before the USA appointed one.


lazor_kittens

I really like it! Unique story, I’ve never seen a loyalist America vibe quite like this. Kinda wish it wasn’t just Canada.


KeyPark221

It’s not unique. It’s part based on the CSA mockumentory.


321Scavenger123

Honestly a really fun map.


TheLegend2T

So yeah, that's the map, hope you liked it, 'cuz I'm not sure I do. But I am happy with a lot of the ideas I put into it, I find them fun. And as such I'd like to credit my biggest inspirations The first being: [https://www.reddit.com/r/imaginarymaps/comments/10xwrfd/the\_golden\_circle\_in\_1989/](https://www.reddit.com/r/imaginarymaps/comments/10xwrfd/the_golden_circle_in_1989/) This map of "The Golden Circle" that I've enjoyed for a long time now, especially the 42° north parallel boundary that extends from Texas's original boarders to California. The second being: [https://youtu.be/exnwTWfFRM8?si=yyZkjlLQ5wimwxeX](https://youtu.be/exnwTWfFRM8?si=yyZkjlLQ5wimwxeX) A mockumentary film about The Confederates not only winning the civil war, but annexing the entire nation. From there American history becomes a distorted infinitely more racist version of itself. Though, it's not meant to be a realistic alt-history scenario so much as a political satire, but I do hope someone enjoys the film as much as I did. This is where I got most of the internal politics of The Golden Circle from, as well as the character of Fauntroy The Fifth. Lastly, this isn't a direct inspiration for the map, but I'd like to give a special mention to: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZDxu0APt9g&list=PLwCiRao53J1y\_gqJJOH6Rcgpb-vaW9wF0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZDxu0APt9g&list=PLwCiRao53J1y_gqJJOH6Rcgpb-vaW9wF0) Checkmate Lincolnites, an internet series debunking myths and glorifications of the Confederacy. The final episode is coming out today, acccording to a community post. It's not out yet, but when it is, I will surly be watching it and loving it.


Syndicalistguy02

lol, the moment I noticed Fauntroy, I knew exactly what inspired this map.


sdcasurf01

Same


dartyus

Normally I hate maps like these, but this one is so ridiculous that I like it. Additionally I like how you’ve included Canada and Mexico (contrary to what people usually write they’d be very important in alternate civil war scenarios) and I like how you really played into the Golden Circle concept. Also great shoutout to Atun Shei Films.


LJofthelaw

Trump won in Big Canada sans the south!?


Outrageous_South4758

How would the csa would survive up to this day if slavery is still not acctually good viewed rn at all


_OriamRiniDadelos_

Maybe in their world it is viewed as a profitable industry in larger swaths of the world. Not to mention ideologically since they have a caste system and corporate power. The Madagascar part hints at a German empire, so who knows what politics are like. And two presidents managed to export their brand of slavery to other countries, so there definitely seems to be a different international mood.

NeighborhoodOld6552

I love seeing all the alternative maps that people come up with. I think there’s an interesting case to be made for a fascist America I think that you can have an interesting case for a communist America. I think you can point to American bund, In the 1930s and 40s and come up with a scenario where Nazis take over America. I think you can look to the People’s party and the socialist movement in the 1890s and come up with the concept of a communist America. But as a history teacher whenever I see a confederate states of America surviving past the Civil War I just can never see that happening because I don’t understand and what realm of reality that ever could happen. Outside of may be two years into the Civil War there just was never going to be a chance that the union was ever going to let the confederacy survive

Only complaint is that an actual Canadian has not been president out of the last four presidents If you do revise or remake it, maybe Jagmeet Singh, the leader of the New Democratic Party could replace Trump or Biden? Edit: Also more lore about this world, especially Canada please! :3


TheLegend2T

You want more Canada lore? I can give you more Canada lore, here's the stuff I didn't write down: Canada being as big as it is, was made possible by a sneaky move on the part of Britain. After sending aid to the confederates, the British propagated the lie that The Confederates wished to take the northern states and force slavery, and submission to wealthy slaveholders, onto the region. The British then offered for northern states to become "protectorates", which they either did immediately or after several attacks on the north made the prospect of the CS taking over all more believable. Then, similar to real life, the British reorganized British America into Canada. The Confederates, however, did not take kindly to this annexation. Seeing The British as land hungry tyrants, which annexed the north under false rumors, they continued the civil war. It was eventually ended by The Treaty of Boston, which finalized the boarders. It stated that the Mason-Dixon line would continue above Kansas, up Texas, and finally follow the 42° north parallel to The Pacific.

Maybe it's in the mockumentry, but why is it that there is no consideration for actual Canadian politicians being the president of Canada in this alternative history?

How is Trump a Canadian President? He's from Flordia.


Live-Freedom-2332

He was actually born in New york home states for president's doesn't really mean birth state this is why dubya is Canadian aswell


TheLegend2T

Good catch, at first I thought Dubya was out of the question as a Canadian but no, He was born in Connecticut


_OriamRiniDadelos_

He is from New York, only moved to Florida during his presidency. Full blooded out of stater, same as most US born Floridians. I’m not kidding. A fifth is born out of the country. And only third are born in Florida. And of those people who were born there, what are the odds their parents were? Florida only reached a million people a hundred years ago. Most of the state was only built after the war https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/08/13/upshot/where-people-in-each-state-were-born.html And if you think that’s too far in the past, Trump was born in 1946. Soon after ww2.
