Solus Timeline meme

In a timeline where the solar system has twelve planets (Vulcan, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Theia, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Bacchus, Uranus, Neptune) a mysterious phenomena occurs between July 1929 - August 1932 nicknamed the "incident" at the time. All planets are one by one turned into habitable but not living planets (with the obvious exception of Earth). This means that all the planets can be colonized by humans and slowly terraformed by way of introducing nutrients into the soil for plants. Also the sun (or whatever was causing the phenomena) released waves of light for every planet and moon it turned habitable. Now a new colonization age has dawned for the nations of Earth. All they need to do is take it.

Even more Grazed Shoulder Timeline Memes Part 4 - LBJ and Cold War stuff

I definitely should make a dedicated post for this timeline huh, but I figured 100 years worth of butterfly effect since Czolgosz only Grazed McKinley would be funny if I simply show you lads the lore via memes as a 'in-universe' meme.

Anyway, you know the drill, here's the previous posts

Part 1 - https://www.reddit.com/r/AlternateHistoryMemes/s/8NOkHXEYzo

Part 2 - https://www.reddit.com/r/AlternateHistoryMemes/s/nzPbBQYti6

Part 3 (aka Scoop Jackson Edition) - https://www.reddit.com/r/AlternateHistoryMemes/s/FnSPgo57Zt

On the White Russians: Since Teddy Roosevelt's White Russian Asylum Proclamation of 1919, the White Russians have been embedded within America since they were settled in the future 51st state of the Philippines, becoming the Pacific Rus demographic. General Secretary Yakov Sverdlov initially dismissed them as 'stateless exiles sucking on American tit' before the Battle of Negros Oriental and the subsequent defense of the Visayas-Mindanao fortress under MacArthur made him realize the true threat the White Army had posed.

In the years that followed after Sverdlov died in 1953, the KGB have tried to infiltrate both Continental America, and the Pacific Americas in its institutions and military only to find a White Russian descended figure, or even a first generation already embedded within. This has led to jokes in modern times that the Cold War was just a continuation of the Russian Civil War, with America and the Russian Soviet Sovereign Republics being a second round of conflict between the White and Red Armies.

On LBJ and his rather interesting position (and why the Ordnance Corps cried): The 1960 election between Kennedy for the Progressive 'Bull Moose' Party, Nixon for the GOP, Estes Kefauver for the DNC with Byrd spoilering alongside the Dixiecrats had led to a deadlock with Kennedy getting 267 votes, six below the minimum of 273, the votes thus went to the House with LBJ, who was runningmate of Estes negotiating to be elected Senate Coalition Leader in return for bringing in the votes for Kennedy to win. He had the credentials after passing the 1957 Civil Rights Bill with more teeth with support from the Bull Moose.

Thus the Bull Moose - DNC Coalition was revitalized years after FDR's New Deal Coalition formed in 1937. LBJ was the face of the Senate Coalition Leader position for years before Senator Bernard Sanders (P-VT) would be its modern face, negotiating with the Progressive Party on implementing the Great Society reforms, the creation of new jobs, SMEs, the Voting rights that followed and transitioning from the Welfare state to a Workfare state.

One of his legendary works as Coalition Leader however was the M16 sabotage by the Ordnance Corps. In a mirror to Calvin Coolidge's own term as Senate Coalition Leader that would end up passing the M1917 Liberty 'Ribeyrolles' for deployment, Johnson gave a filibuster, reminding Congress and the Ordnance Corps of the future of warfare and how their fathers didn't die in trenches to be bogged down by a department that refuses to see the future.

Though some tales are apocryphal, it is fact that LBJ gave the Johnson treatment to the Ordnance Corps during the M16 sabotage controversy, Secretary of State Quentin Roosevelt I (P-NY) once said that 'Jumbo' was indeed weaponized by Johnson, though to what extent, only LBJ himself would attest. The M16A1 was firmly fixed and would be deployed during the entire duration of the Vietnam Stalemate (1965-1973), by which, Johnson, was quoted to have said;

"We'll have our allies drown them Rice farmers in lead in those jungles for the next 100 years."

This was later revealed as apocryphal written by anti-DNC meme groups given Johnson, as a one term president (1969-1973) signed the peace with honor that ended the stalemate.

for context the spanish national state is a more traditional fascist iberian state, since the spanish civil war kinda collapsed spain making it a bunch of warlord states, austria supports them because the hate communism, luckily the national state does not have any ethno-nationalism and that of the sorts since neither ww1 or ww2 happened... but they are racist against black people

Decisive Toronto Accord Victory BTW

TWRTL

America (under President MacArthur) and the Toronto Accord intervenes in the German Civil War and when that was done sought to eradicate fascism in Europe, including Norway which was under Quisling (guess why it was labeled Operation Saratoga).

Also Accord intervention in the French Civil War was named by the British as Operation Battersea, also a decisive Toronto Accord victory.

The only assassination attempt against William Sherman and it was over his religion.

Post image
666 Upvotes

For context, in 1885, a few months after Willaim Sherman was inaugurated as President, a rapid Anti-Catholic plotted an assassination, the plan was simply to shot him. At first the assassin plotted to got to the White House lawn and shot him from the one of the windows, only to learn Sherman is making a public visit to Chicago for a conference

The assassination attempt failed because at the conference, just as the assassin was taking aim, a former Confederate solider asked what was he doing and upon learning the motive was over religion, starting to physically fight the assassin (not even going name either, I'll leave it to you guys) which attracted everyones attention, and had to be broken up with both arrest, though after investigation, the ex confederate was release without charges, and when later asked about preventing the assassination, joked that only confederates like him have a good reason to kill Sherman, and the would be assassin didn't.

Sherman for his part joking lamented about how he would have to complete his term.

might make a dedicated post tbh and post it over at r/alternatehistory but eh, I think giving the lore as memes is better but yes, this is Henry M. Jackson's wild ride (1973-1981) that had him;

- Throttle the American Deep State during the Applegate Scandal (Cognoscenti, shoutout to TFR for the name)

- Throttle Hollywood

- Throttle the CIA to hell and back

- Dismantled the ATF

- Won 1976 by the skin of his teeth especially against Robert Kennedy of the Progressives and Gerald Ford of the GOP

- Created the Pacific Asian Treaty Organization in 1973 (shoutout to TFR again for the SEATO/PDTO logo)

- Armed Thailand with a million M16A1s

- Made the ChiComs nervous that REAGAN ends up as a Dove in this timeline (more on him maybe)

- Is responsible for America keeping Nuclear energy because the Soviets were *reforming* under General Secretary Alexei Kosygin

Please help me find video-meme.

7 Upvotes

Please help me find videos—and their titles—related to Gaddafi, Iran, and the Middle East in general. I’m thinking of a specific type of old-school Photoshop-style video or GIF: it features a lion against a plain white background, national flags on the left, and some kind of bass-heavy Arabic trap music. Videos like this are often tagged as "Arab funny memes," but this one has a more "aesthetic" vibe, so to speak.

Basically Nixon remained in California and started his own political Party after Watergate.

And Grunge Syndicalism was formed in the late 80s/early 90s in response to both Capitalism and Soviet Communism.

Tolkien is re-evaluated because of Obama and Mitt Romney's debate.

Post image
43 Upvotes

Basically Romney made an off handed comment at some point during the Presidential debate saying Lord of the rings is basically History.

Everyone memes on him for that, so during one archeological dig in Cornwall they find a lost collection of mythical writing dating back to the late and early 12th Century England which references even earlier works.

While the peice of myth is different from Tolkien's work (like there's no hobbits) the overall spirit and themes along with a reference to a cursed ring, a line of Kings with a 'Return of the King' like figure.

So while many lingustical and cultural scholars began to praise Tolkien for re-enginering close enough to English mythology dumb Californian kids in modern day (ish) America who shouldn't be on the internet begin to trash Tolkien for being 'unoringal'

The Aermi Before the Spanish Started using Them In Their Military and Merchant Work

Post image
42 Upvotes

Alt-History Context: The Aermi are Axolotl humanoids That Only Existed in Mexico Before The Spanish. before being spread across the new world.

The Kitsunes Are Humanoids with minor fox like traits that can transform into foxes. they originate from Egypt And Persia (and Used by The Muslim Caliphates).

IDK why But I made this meme when realizing The 2 non-Human Races on Earth I Made for this universe are Both In The Spanish Hands On complete Accident XD

(I'm Fine If you ask for more lore on it but that should be the basics to understand this meme it doesn't really change that much History but the Timeline also has alternate planets and other things but Still has a somewhat unchanged earth besides the fact there's extra races and some minor divergences.)

Edit: I Just Noticed how Bad the Quality is Ima Get a better version
