There’s something so…I’m not sure if I can find the words for this sort of thing. “Smugly ignorant” maybe? About this sort of thing? “Alt-history” stuff in general usually grinds my gears, because it usually completely ignores everything about actual history and how humans work in order to make their “steampunk nazis” or whatever make sense. This gives me that same sort of frustration. It’s awful, because it has no understanding of…anything really. It’s just “Europe becomes great again and Macron Sue leads the way through special magic powers.” Fuck. I’d rather they say that Macron discovered Charlemagne’s tomb or something and he granted Macron magic powers to unite Europe, at least that would be a kind of interesting idea. Instead it’s just awful fanfiction about a do-nothing leader whose most notable trait is being groomed by his high school teacher.
