      And meanwhile you're normalising the visuals of fascist iconography, slogans, language - making the abominable feel narratively familiar.

      Alt-Nazi settings aren't a "warning" about possible future evils; not right now. They're a means of distancing the reality of the present.

      You want to do a morally complex story about the evils of fascism? SET IT IN THE FUCKING ACTUAL NON-ALT PRESENT, YOU COWARDS.

      But oh, no. See, that would be too POLITICAL, bc you'd have to acknowledge how vital Black Lives Matter is & risk angering racist white ppl.

      You'd have to defend punching Richard Spencer, and talk about the difference between fascist & antifa disruption at universities, OH MY!

      You'd have to stop talking about what a snappy dresser Milo Yianoppoulis is, and criticise Trump & Breitbart & their spineless GOP shills.

      Better to tell a story where those pesky modern elements don't exist; where you can pretend there's no link between your world & our now.

      You want to jack off to your jackboot aesthetic, go do it in an alternate fucking universe where you aren't actively making shit worse. FIN

      Jumping back to add: the specific prob with ALT-hist stories, as opposed to dystopias, is that they utterly elide the significance of *now*.

      A story about fascism in the future or near-future which references the present SHOWS US THE CORRELATION BETWEEN NOW AND THEN.

      The Handmaid's Tale is terrifying in part because it's situated as a potential consequence of the PRESENT DAY: what if *WE* let this happen?

          But in alt-Nazi stories, the onus for prevention is in the past. It's all hypothetical: it couldn't REALLY happen like that, b/c it DIDN'T.

          So even if we can recognise similar themes between the alt-world & ours, the immediacy of the threat is defanged, b/c the genesis is wrong.
