diffin's description of the generations in his crazy days TL gave me a nice evil idea for..... The Toxic Pirate Generation!
what PODs are needed to have the millenial generation not be nicer and more left leaning than generation X? Your mission is you choose to accept it is to make the millenial generation nihilistic,racist,authoritarian and fanatic. Bonus points are givne if you make the draka series of books(for your TL you can have Stirling's unreleased draka books(the laughter of the guns,Under The Shadow(about draka earth america in the protracted sttruggle in the draka timeline),Unto Us a child,Heavy Iron and the domination centuries trilogies)). If you include the unreleased books you HAVE to make *ALL* of the books into movies(extra points for an anime style bunch of draka TV series). Extra bonus points if you can change the pop culture to make upbeat music like britney spears be goen and have the goth/metal/punk subculture dominant. If you're really goign for the goal and want to *REALLY* amaze us make the draka books into movies,have alternate history be a major genre,have the hobbit AND the LOTR movies but have fantasy dying,have a resurgence of science fiction as THE genre and have upbeat pop music be unpopular. If you want to try to shorten the lengh of the generation to make it easier you have to have the toxic pirates at a minimum be born from 1986-1996
some possible PODs that could lead to a 'Toxic Pirate" genertation or at a minimum more self absorbed and hedonistic millenials
1 the boomers get more sucessful in their political struggles with a sucessful ERA,fuly legal abortion,legla drugs and end of selective service. This means that the millenials/toxic pirates don't get shefted outo f the fun their parents enjoyed and are less sheltered.
2 no WTC 1993 bombing to enbolden Al Qeada and thereby neverecause thme to end the goodtimes of the 90's with 9/11
3 no 9/11(if you try this I want to at least see some beginnings of change in the toxic pirate direction)
4 no barny the dinosaur/sesame street
5 later televangelist scandals during say... the carter,reagan or clinton admistrations.
