If Poland defeats Germany at the beginning of the war, then America never joins the fight. The country doesn't get swept up in a patriotic Nazi killing phase, and therefore public sentiment never views Nazis as cartoon baddies. The Klan is never stopped, the space race doesn't happen, man never lands on the moon, and Nixon converts America into a fascist dictatorship in the 1970s. Also, Star Trek is never made.
Discussions like this makes me wonder if the reason why time travelers can never kill Hitler...is because Hitler himself was a time traveler, and somehow the future determined he was a necessary evil at a particular point in time. Like...the original timeline was worse than Hitler.
Also Tolkien doesn't put his experiences of the horrors of war into Lord of the Rings, which means Dungeons and Dragons never gets popular.
Well, his horrors were from the first WW. That still happens without Hitler.
I assume not, but are you Nilaus the YouTuber?
I am not. But a lot of people do assume and ask me questions about factorio.
You should just go with it and make shit up.
Lol. Thought about it, but I would have to know wtf factorio is all about🤣.
The factory must grow. That is all you need to know. Now go spread misinformation and misdirection, as you were always meant to.
