I forgot all about this part.
>>23996038Yes, media does often reflect the era in which is was made. That's an astute observation. You're an idiot. What the hell do you want people to tell you?
Are you dumb? People thought thw USSR would continue who would say it wouldn't? They put the CCP as existing in the future too, and USA. There is no guarantee any of these states will exist.
>>23996166I give the US 5 years tops
>>23996038It was just really funny timing, the cold war was dying down so you kinda have to remember that many pieces of media around this exact time period would become dated almost immediately lol.
>DUDE IT'S 2015 WHERE ARE THE FLYING SKATEBOARDS? BACK TO THE FUTURE LIED TO USdo americans really
>>23996172lol, no. 2.

>>23996172>>23996387Territorially, I don't think the US will ever stay divided for long. Things like "Texan", "Californian" etc. are not the same as national identities like Ukrainian and the Baltic states. At least I think they would not develop that way even in the event of some kind of initial break from the Federal govt.I thino America is just going to keep getting more dysfunctional and internally divided for quite a long time before anything really drastic can happen, because most people are honestly not prepared to take a stand for anything. Some protests, sure, but no state's population has the stomach for an actual dead serious run at secession as far as I see.
>>23996038Yes, and?
>>23996205>many pieces of media around this exact time period would become dated almost immediatelyDreadnought moment?
>>24004195one of my favorite weird "whoops we REALLY dated when we made this" was in Event Horizon when they have a Microsoft Natural Keyboard and a narrowmouth can of Coke
What always gets me is when a pre 2001 thing shows a ruined New York, somehow, the towers are still standing. It's not just dated but it really makes you aware of how different things were.

>>23997154Democrat vs Republican?
>>23996038There are a lot of neat things in the Gunbuster timeline. Another one that isn't explicitly stated but does factor into the show is that Hawaii was sold to Japan by the United States, which is why there's a TOP base there.Another, more obvious one is that a few extra planets were discovered, one of which is "Jupiter 2" that appears in Diebuster.
>>24005349>>24005465Why is Australia always fucked in anime?
>>24006591You need to learn your city lines better
>>24006591Oh yeah, they used the entire landmass of Australia to create the outer shell of Buster Machine 3. Well remembered.
>>24006633?
>>24005465I thought they annexed it after the US picked a fight with them and lost.
>>24005465>"Jupiter 2"Ah Twopiter
>>24006676>Oh yeah, they used the entire landmass of Australia to create the outer shell of Buster Machine 3. Well remembered.I thought Aussies got fucked up because the earth got hit by the huge shockwave from their first blackhole bomb when they set the Exelions core to go critical?They say the shockwave wont reach earth for 6 months, and then the episode after that they show tons of earth locations with what looks like flooding and other damage, including Austalia looking all fucked up. They comment it hasnt "been repaired yet", because they are spending all of earths resources on Buster Machine 3.
>>24005349>new yorkers affected by dinosaur empire smog immersion broken
>>23996172>>23996387America is in decline but it will be a slow fade into irrelevance like the Holy Roman Empire.
>>24009102Wouldn't be the first time; just look at the '60s and '70s.
>>24008496That's just the regular view from Jersey
>>24008496No one would've noticed the difference had it occurred in Los Angeles.
>>24005427Not likely to happen as that is a mostly a rural/urban divide and the overpopulated urban centers would mostly starve themselves when the rural areas secede from the urban areas.
>>24005349Is that a giant Koffing?
>>24016843Kill yourself negrobumper.
>>23996265You'd love Tim Wilson.
>>24005349Better times...
>>24006591I didn't realize New York City was in Australia.
