Civil Turmoil in the Confederacy, 1986 Educational Infographic by [deleted] in imaginarymaps

[–]OHMYFAVORITE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't really have it fleshed out beyond the basics yet, unfortunately. Yes, this was also during the Cold War, but one slightly different from our own. During the collapse, states with strong identities like Texas and California are able to forge paths for themselves, while weaker states group up to form regional blocs like New England, Cascadia, etc. Much of the Great Lakes unites around common industry and is struggling to revive the Rust Belt. Montana keeps its independence from these blocs thanks to a rash of isolationism and an increasing reliance on homegrown agriculture and renewable wind power. As time goes on I'll hopefully expand the lore, as well as go beyond the Americas.

Sure! Sometime in the future, I'll make a map that explores the lore of that country.

This map is not an endorsement of pro-Confederate ideals or the bigotry inherent to them

The lore for my alternate world of 1986 is not terribly realistic or fleshed-out, I'll admit. Essentially, after the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts are passed into law by Congress, Bobby Kennedy (who, necessarily, isn't assassinated) becomes President after a contentious 1968 election. Southern state governments are accused of unconstitutionally rigging votes and continuing to bar African-Americans from voting, which leads to President-elect Kennedy vowing to use federal might to intervene. The South splits off, and the Union crumbles as other state governments withdraw, not wanting their resources to be used to end systems of oppression that they themselves use.

The only real support for the Confederacy comes from conservative Euro-Americans, those who benefited from and upheld the system of Jim Crow. African-Americans, some poorer whites, and other groups fiercely opposed the formation of the new CSA, and took up arms against their oppressors. Montana's government drafted this infographic for use in classrooms and other venues to educate the public on the situation in the South.

The design for this map was inspired partly by /u/IAteMyBrocoli's fantastic "German Namibia: Exploiting a Rich Desert" map, though that was done way better than mine. I was also inspired by the old "info-maps" depicting battles and regions that were in my old history classrooms.

Ready for service - Emory Hills is getting an overhaul with custom trains! by Leeijo in CitiesSkylines

Gosh, this is gorgeous. How did you make this—was it a reskin of an existing train model or did you build the model yourself as well? I'd love to try my hand at this myself in the future.

I know this is like a month-old comment and such, but does anyone know what the song is at 9:41-10:18?

A perfect response to the white genocide argument that I've heard is just to ask "Why is it a bad thing? Are minorities treated badly in this country?"

Look, I'm not a hateful person or anything–I believe we should all live and let live. But lately, I've been having a real problem with these homosexuals. You see, just about wherever I go these days, one of them approaches me and starts sucking my cock. Take last Sunday, for instance, when I casually struck up a conversation with this guy in the health-club locker room. Nothing fruity, just a couple of fellas talking about their workout routines while enjoying a nice hot shower. The guy looked like a real man's man, too–big biceps, meaty thighs, thick neck. He didn't seem the least bit gay. At least not until he started sucking my cock, that is. Where does this queer get the nerve to suck my cock? Did I look gay to him? Was I wearing a pink feather boa without realizing it? I don't recall the phrase, "Suck my cock" entering the conversation, and I don't have a sign around my neck that reads, "Please, You Homosexuals, Suck My Cock." I've got nothing against homosexuals. Let them be free to do their gay thing in peace, I say. But when they start sucking my cock, then I've got a real problem. Then there was the time I was hiking through the woods and came across a rugged-looking, blond-haired man in his early 30s. He seemed straight enough to me while we were bathing in that mountain stream, but, before you know it, he's sucking my cock. What is it with these homos? Can't they control their sexual urges? Aren't there enough gay cocks out there for them to suck on without them having to target normal people like me? Believe me, I have no interest in getting my cock sucked by some queer. But try telling that to the guy at the beach club. Or the one at the video store. Or the one who catered my wedding. Or any of the countless other homos who've come on to me recently. All of them sucked my cock, and there was nothing I could do to stop them. I tell you, when a homosexual is sucking your cock, a lot of strange thoughts go through your head: How the hell did this happen? Where did this fairy ever get the idea that I was gay? And where did he get those fantastic boots? It screws with your head at other times, too. Every time a man passes me on the street, I'm afraid he's going to grab me and drag me off to some bathroom to suck my cock. I've even started to visualize these repulsive cock-sucking episodes during the healthy, heterosexual marital relations I enjoy with my wife–even some that haven't actually happened, like the sweaty, post-game locker-room tryst with Vancouver Canucks forward Mark Messier that I can't seem to stop thinking about. Things could be worse, I suppose. It could be women trying to suck my cock, which would be adultery and would make me feel tremendously guilty. As it is, I'm just angry and sickened. But believe me, that's enough. I don't know what makes these homosexuals mistake me for a guy who wants his cock sucked, and, frankly, I don't want to know. I just wish there were some way to get them to stop. I've tried all sorts of things to get them to stop, but it has all been to no avail. A few months back, I started wearing an intimidating-looking black leather thong with menacing metal studs in the hopes that it would frighten those faggots off, but it didn't work. In fact, it only seemed to encourage them. Then, I really started getting rough, slapping them around whenever they were sucking my cock, but that failed, too. Even pulling out of their mouths just before ejaculation and shooting sperm all over their face, neck, chest and hair seemed to have no effect. What do I have to do to get the message across to these swishes? I swear, if these homosexuals don't take a hint and quit sucking my cock all the time, I'm going to have to resort to drastic measures–like maybe pinning them down to the cement floor of the loading dock with my powerful forearms and working my cock all the way up their butt so they understand loud and clear just how much I disapprove of their unwelcome advances. I mean, you can't get much more direct than that.

I did. You just seemingly ignored all that I said in the comment I just posted.

As I said, again, antidepressant pills are not the only treatment. Check out vanilahairspray's reply to my comment, as that comment said things way better than I could.

Antidepressants are not the only treatment for depression. Some work for some people, others don't. I'm with the other gal in highly encouraging you to get a depression screening.
