Not to the author. Just to anyone who thinks about it for a moment.Is Peshwar Lancers meant as a dystopia setting?

To be fair to Stirling, cannabalistic Russia acting like a bad Frank Hubert fever dream sounds like a veritable utopia. Timothée Chalamet for the Tsar of Rump Russia in the Denis Villeneuve screen adaption or I riot.Not to the author. Just to anyone who thinks about it for a moment.
I can say without question that from it's start, everyone on TNO fucking hated Rommel.Can't tell if Metal Gear, HOI4, or TNO is to blame, but depictions of historical characters have become very iffy. One story I've read had freakin Rommel as a "reluctant" Nazi in the TNO/Metal Gear crossover-verse who hates slavery and feels helpless against the Nazi institution because he can't do anything significant against it but follow his duty as a soldier.
Also, other thing, but it also had Rommel and freakin Heydrich as mentors to one of the main character's rivals.
When asked about it, the author just said that this isn't the real historical figures anymore, but more hardened and wizened figures.
I have no idea what to say about that.
I've also seen Speer being redefined as a voice of moderation in the Third Reich. There was an instance of that at the other place just a couple of days ago.
NopeWere there any actual reluctant Nazis in high power. Von Witzleben?
i assume this is mostly because it's generally pretty difficult to run a regime focused on genociding minorities if people higher up in said regime have things like basic human morality and sympathy, and also if you're a dictatorship murdering people is quick, easy and freeNope

I'd say so. The hesitant people got got on the Night of the Long Knives or wound up in July 20. Schacht comes closest to those in neither group but I mean, he wasn't particularly reluctant until he started losing.i assume this is mostly because it's generally pretty difficult to run a regime focused on genociding minorities if people higher up in said regime have things like basic human morality and sympathy, and also if you're a dictatorship murdering people is quick, easy and free

Rommel as a reluctant Nazi as described has a long history, and that pernicious myth has a very strong hold over the Wehraboos that infest the genre.
He almost certainly knew that he had been ordered to murder prisoners, that his labour supply were slaves, that his soldiers shot black POWs and that there was an SS unit supported by his command attempting to with mixed success to carry out the Holocaust in Africa and certainly in France.Recently I read something about him... it sounds sheer unbelievable, but I can't refute it.
What he did? At some point, he suggested to the "führer" that it might help the Reich if they demonstrated that a Jew could become a gauleiter(!!!).
Hm. Not so much "in the know, but reluctant" but "totally naive about everything not related to making war" maybe?

Has the tone really shifted?For All Mankind.
Controversial, I know — but I feel like it has … really jumped the shark this season.
Season(s) 1 and 2 were fun, and good alt history fun. But Season 3 is like the show has become a parody of itself. (I have VERY negative feelings around the entire President Wilson coming out plotline combined with how Moore’s neoliberal politics are kinda ruining the show for me.)
Isn't the whole point of S3 about how neoliberalism isn't actually that viable and it's only through state controlled organisations like NASA that we can actually reach the starsFor All Mankind.

lol no. trust me.Isn't the whole point of S3 about how neoliberalism isn't actually that viable and it's only through state controlled organisations like NASA that we can actually reach the stars
The show has become a new West Wing in my opinion. Half of FAM S3 was that Bin Laden scene from the network.Has the tone really shifted?
