@j_arthur_bloom "The reader is supposed to feel glad that the Nazis did not in fact, win. Unfortunately [the Soviet Union] won."

@jessespafford except it doesn’t say that. in theory they both could have lost, which would have been ideal i suppose.
Jesse Spafford ‏@jessespafford 21 Feb 2015

@j_arthur_bloom I literally quoted from the essay. So it does literally say just that.
J. Arthur Bloom ‏@j_arthur_bloom 21 Feb 2015

@jessespafford could it be unfortunate that the soviets won, but fortunate that the americans won too?
Jesse Spafford ‏@jessespafford 21 Feb 2015

@j_arthur_bloom the author specifically mocks the idea that it was good that the *Nazis did not win*. *Not* that the USSR did win.
J. Arthur Bloom ‏@j_arthur_bloom 21 Feb 2015

@jessespafford he says he’s talking about speculative fiction!
Jesse Spafford ‏@jessespafford 21 Feb 2015

@j_arthur_bloom ...which in this case is just a stand in for the counterfactual where the nazis won the war. Good effort at obfuscation, tho
J. Arthur Bloom ‏@j_arthur_bloom 21 Feb 2015

@jessespafford but nowhere does he say that counterfactual would be better
Jesse Spafford ‏@jessespafford 21 Feb 2015

@j_arthur_bloom It's implied by the direct comparison of the "speculative fiction" counterfactual with the USSR's real world victory.
J. Arthur Bloom ‏@j_arthur_bloom 21 Feb 2015

@jessespafford but let’s not pretend these are easy questions

@j_arthur_bloom And here it is - you admit that it's an open question as to whether it might have been better had the nazis won. @SonnyBunch
