True Blue America (lemmy.world)

It's 2048. The Islamic world has overtaken not only the Middle East, but Africa, Russia, China, Central and South America. The Islamic and Communist Worlds have united into a single, global superpower. They're united by one vision of the future: to take the Palestinians, the largest victim of WWIII, and give them all of America, since they had sided with the Atheists and Christians in the war, and the Muslims have the most money.

The Caliphate is too powerful. American citizens are forcibly removed from their homes, and made to live far from any high ground (too risky, with "rebels" afoot).

Thankfully Canada, Europe, and Australia stand up for America. They form a united front and declare NO RECOGNITION. NO PEACE. NO PALESTINE. Their entire coalition even declares open season on the Muslim settlers, and cheers when they fall (wouldn't you, if you were a red-white-and-blue-blooded American??). Some good, Christian, Canadian kin even cross the border to fight for their older Brother!

With all of the Caliphate's enemies united against it, the new Palestine launches a "pre-emptive" strike, from their brand new borders, at Canada.

In response, Canada, Europe, Australia, and the American "rebels" defend themselves by "declaring war" on a "nation" that has no legal right to exist.

The Caliphate wins by sheer force, though. America gets a few licks in now and again, but... If America were ever to take things too far in the eyes of the Caliphate (and let's be honest, even some American Christians), they wouldn't hesitate to crush our children beneath the rubble if it meant they could finally get rid of the American "rebels."

Only it's not 2048, WWIII was WWII, the religions and countries are rearranged, and this isn't hypothetical.

If you felt even a tiny bit of what it might be like as a hypothetical American in 2048, you felt a tiny bit of what it might be like as a real Palestinian in 2023.

Israel and Palestine Politics Discussion

312 readers

The sole purpose of this community is to discuss Israeli and Palestinian issues. It is not the place for hurling insults, rehashing grudges, or making up history. Any conversation that veers into the "if only your people had" realm will be deleted or locked right away. I started this community in the potentially fruitless hope that we may have a civil conversation about this issue.

Rules:

  1. References to historical events must include a reputable source. The definition of reputable is up to the mods. Keep that in mind.
  2. Articles from reputable sources only.
  3. No name-calling. That's what DMs are for. /s
  4. Keep it in English. If I don't understand the word, it gets removed. Obvious exceptions would be the use of proper names and references. For example, "wadi" when used to refer to a place is acceptable.
  5. Discussions that are heading into the probability of becoming a flame war will be locked.
  6. Repeat offenders will be forced to find another community.
  7. Anti-Zionism is ok. Anti-Semitism is not.
  8. Whataboutism is for toddlers. Try to grow up.
  9. Posting articles about current events is encouraged. Posting the same story from 20 different sources is not.
  10. Posting an article purely for the purpose of saying "Look what monsters they are" is discouraged unless it can generate an honest discussion. This is probably the most difficult rule to follow.
  11. No calling anyone a terrorist.
  12. No YouTube links. Some of us can read.
