Christman had a bonus episodes about Butler and Wallace on Hell of Presidents I'm pretty sure, and they go into it on Hinge Points as well. So very Chapo-y and I'd be interested in other, more typically "scholarly" perspectives too.
I don't know if the serious types ever delve into alt-history, which would make sense if they didn't, it's all speculation and quickly becomes a wish fulfillment fantasy, at least when I do it in my musings. I guess actually it's really sad I find it easier to imagine different pasts, and their consequent lost futures, than seeing much hope in this current world. Still mostly not a doomer though!
yeah i think there is a "ahh the title now i get it" moment in the book. it's been awhile since i read it
it is cool how in that book at the end after the brutal world superwar is on the path of to global socialism led by the communist superpower of the Haudenosaunee
my biggest complaint is how each short story chapter is just so damn short like you could write an entire novel in each historical period like i almost want to fanfic it
especially the japanese diaspora-haudenosaunee alliance of convince and anti-colonial war

i wouldn't mind some fiction just for escapism. escape the doomerism
kind of like reading the Years of Rice and Salt (aka the world where all the white people die in the 14th century)
I wouldn't either! You're right most alt history is libs or fash so a lefty getting into it would be refreshing.
It's interesting that a book about all the whites gone is named after two famously white things
