The Millennial had a childhood at least. Anyone born in that narrow window in which they finished high school before smart phones and the internet became the only real place left. Zoomers cannot even reflect back on a childhood. They get the same or worse economic collapse, admittedly was 2008 ever fixed really? But it all doesn't matter. its close to 20 years ago now, the boat has sailed. For Zoomers? or Alpha? Fuck I don't even know what to tell them.

"But 2008!" said the established Millenial with a career and a place to live to the Zoomer who was hit with totalitarian global lockdowns, total surveillance panopticon, and an even worse economic crisis just as they finished high school/college.

Ivan the Terrible permitted an English permanent embassy and once asked the ambassador to convey a proposal of marriage to Elizabeth. When the ambassador noted that Ivan was already married, Ivan said that wasn’t a problem, he could just execute his current wife.

Zgodnie z obecnymi planami Departamentu Armii bojowe wozy piechoty M2 Bradley mają zaliczyć około 90 lat służby w US Army. Całkowite wycofanie tych wozów ze służby ma nastąpić w latach 70. tego wieku. Nie, to nie jest żart.

Horace Goodwill, tonicke purveyor 🇵🇸
worst but funniest outcome is that Starmer, formerly a colourless bureaucrat, has realised he actually likes power without Lanyard Wormtongue making him wear a virtual gimp suit every day, and is preparing a quixotic personalist dictatorship in renewed alliance with MI5 and GCHQ

Better idea: it’s set during Vietnam. Here’s the plot Julius Caesar is a newly elected populist president. He was a famous general in the Vietnam War and considered one of the best generals of all time, but he gets popular by leveraging that to say the war is stupid and wasteful. (cf “War is a Racket by Gen Smedley Butler). The Elites want the war to continue. He runs on ending the war and bringing the troops home. Further, at this time, like the real timeline, the homeland is in disarray. Riots have broken out across dozens of major cities. Caesar, like Nixon, runs on law and order. He talks about why troops should be dying for some ungrateful rice farmers when they could be at home protecting the American people. He eventually wins in 1968 and does what he promised on the campaign. He manages to get a “peace with honor” too. He doesn’t just flee and let S Vietnam collapse, but manages against all odds to get a good peace deal and the North begrudgingly. He continues to be very popular. The people treat him like a hero. He stages a massive parade in Washington for returning troops, but at one point gets on a float himself and the people chant his name. He holds massive rallies. Several Senators make up the majority party in the Senate and become wary of Caesar. They think he is becoming too powerful and too popular. To make this believable, we will mix in rhetoric that is both anti-tyrant but also self-serving. They think they are going to get wiped out in the midterms. Cicero and Cato are part of this party. Caesar begins to flaunt his power. He begins issuing executive orders under the ruse of law and order. Maybe he’s right. Maybe America does need a strong man to bring peace to the homeland. Cicero and Cato begin talking to generals at the JSOC. While Caesar is well-likes by the “grunt” and common GI, the generals are deeply distrustful of him. Btw this really happened irl - some generals were slow walking Nixon’s decisions and this was shown in some recently released court testimony Eventually Caesar gets word of this plot and declares marshal law. He publicly arrests generals who were conspiring against him, declares them traitors, and has them executed. But here’s the thing - is this a tyrant consolidating power, or is he really just protecting the Republic by eliminating people who were planning a coup against the duly-elected President ? He also fills the streets with soldiers to maintain order. Despite all this he is still widely popular. While there is a size able anti-Caesar faction who protests and riots, his approval rating is in the high 60s. He begins talking about the enemies within. Cicero and Cato make speeches against tyranny in the Senate. Importantly these speeches have to be quite good. Eventually Caesar does a State of the Union address (this would be Jan 1970 or so). While there, he is assassinated. The anti-Caesar faction declare they have saved the Republic. Things cool for a bit, but Mark Antony rallies the pro-Caesar faction at Caesar’s massive funeral and the civil war begins.

Idea: Late Republic Roman and Caesar's civil war but set in modern day America.
