"It was like watching Jesus and Satan shaking hands."-Anastas Mikoyan.

Mikoyan, a former eastern orthodox priest himself, spoke this after the USSR signed a peace deal with the Greater Siberian Free Kingdom after years of animosity. This would prove strategic for both sides, though it still saw much unpopularity.

"I know you hate me, but I know you hated him [George] even more. All I had to do was convince you he was a lazy troublemaker that was responsible for what happened at Jenola, and you'd spend the entire year distracted chasing after him to the ignorance of everything else, leaving me free to take things over."

In the near future, a failed attempt at neurosurgery where the test subject, Ronan Hikov, suffered brain damage the process. The test subject was supposed to have enhanced intelligence but the surgeons damaged his brain, making him dumber and stupider, so the test was a complete failure. The surgeons soon found themselves on the wrong end of a medical malpractice lawsuit. The ACLU eventually got involved as well. Everyone had a laugh at the bungling of the neurosurgery, calling the project "The Six Million Dollar Malpractice". A documentary about the failure of the experiment was produced afterwards.

Um, I edited my quote to something else, so could you change it, please?

"Despite all odds, the Russian experiment with democracy succeeded. This was probably because Russians knew what it was like without democracy, and they would fight tooth and nail to preserve it"

Excerpt from Robert Conquest book "After the Romanovs. A History of Russia After 1917" (1986). After the Russian Revolution, Sergei Witte [1] had been named President by the Provisional Government. In what was known as the Second Time of Troubles (1917-1920), Witte faced revolution and counter-revolution from various anarchist and fascist parties.

By 1920, however, Witte had managed to secure democracy, setting the stage for the "Moscow Twenties."


"All wars are about wealth. Forget what your textbooks told you. Look where the gold, oil, or rubies are. And that's where war happens."

Antiwar communist activists Martin Luther King Jr. Ttl's reconstruction was far more successful, so king was able to focus his activism on other things.

"Socialism wants to improve the lot of the workers. Communism is fascism masquerading as socialism. Socialism is about healthcare, about workers rights, about liberty, and using the reserves of the nation to better it's people. Communism is a violent ideology that seeks world conquest and to deny people the self determination of their government."

"Acid party, let's have a party, come to the party, come to the rave!" - Margaret Thatcher

 

[The Militant Doberman]

"Acid party, let's have a party, come to the party, come to the rave!" - Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher’s ravings following the 1984 Brighton Hotel Bombing. The I.R.A.’s first foray into chemical weapons, the improvised gas-based warhead was intended to poison UK’s top leadership during the Conservative Party conference. Fortunately for the UK government, the gas only caused temporary hallucinations and a mild high in the intended targets.

♪ So damn amazing, I feel the “trap door” pain
So I alleviate it with a bit of cocaine

Oh yeah! A gram — just a smidgen
The only drug in the British kitchen

You open up the fridge, you’re looking for food
And all you find in the white good is another “white good”

Got it in the little ziplock bag, you see?
Buy it from a dealer on the street — it’s not a tragedy.

People think that British food tastes so aw-ful
Nah! It’s amazing when you put it up your nos-tril!

Get it up there — I don’t care [that] all the hairs blocking all the powder from Colombia

I would rather I could get it locally, not far away
But all mine comes from Bogota, so hey! ♪

Oppenheimer's supposed last words as he looked out his bedroom window, absorbing the fact that the Cold War had just turned hot, and nuclear Armageddon for the first race of man was inevitable.

"When I was doing the casting, looking at who I thought would be the best person for each role, it was obvious to me that there was only one man who could fit Pai Mai, with the whole film series being a sendup of his style of martial arts movies: Bruce Lee."

The opening line to the voiceover intro to Mel Brook's 2004 satirical blockbuster of Apocalyptic movies all tied within a Mad Max style post-apocalyptic setting, with the story constantly changing as to HOW mankind had met its end, appropriately titled "Apocalypse HOW???"

"Victoria the Blessed was holy. And pious! She built this Cathedral. She also raised a six year old boy to the papacy because she thought the boy could work miracles. She ended up fasting herself into an early grave because food was of this world and this world was sinful. (...) Hmm, yes, a good king must be just. George the Fifth was just; everyone applauded his reforms, nobles and commoners alike, but he wasn't just for long. He was murdered in his sleep after less than a year by his own brother. Was that truly just of him, to abandon his subjects to an evil that he was too gullible to recognize? (...) Yes, strength. King William was strong; he won the Scottish rebellion and crushed the English dynasty. And he attended three Small Council meetings in seventeen years of ruling, and he spent his time whoring, hunting and drinking until the last two killed him. So, we have a woman who starves herself to death, a man who lets his own brother murder him and a man who thinks winning and ruling are the same thing. What do they all lack?"

Excerpts from Dusk of the Holy British Empire by Andrew Roberts. The book focuses on the years of Queen Victoria, King Edward VII, King George V, and King William V (IOTL Prince Albert Victor, ITTL he lived longer, gave up his claim to the throne, but later killed his brother), and how it led to the Chamberlain Revolution.

"In spite of all the evil Ted Bundy had done in his earlier years, in the end he still was our President, and a President who led us through the nuclear war. His assassination during the impeachment trials was a tragedy, and did not achieve anything other than strengthen our resolve to rebuild society. Let us not remember him as a serial killer, but as the 43rd President of the United States." - President Susan Molinari (R-New York)

Bundy was impeached for supposedly killing another person, and assassinated when it seemed hed be acquitted. The nuclear war came from a nuclear reactor going off in china and that being blamed on America, though evidence is flimsy. The war was not total, with only DC, NYC, and LA being hit.

"At her territorial peak, the United States held Alaska and Columbia, now part of Russia; Hawaii, california, and Nevada, of the California Republic, the Mississippi basin now buffering Russia and Britain as a multitude of independent states; and of course the Eastern Seabord of North America, once more part of the british empire."

A quote from the book A Gentleman's Guide, from author Harold Doveland. While Doveland himself came from a humble background, the son of a factory worker and a low level bureaucrat, his book would become a staple of high society in the American Governorate as the 2120s took hold and the style of the 'First Golden Age', the 1920s English Empire took hold. People of wealth dressed in tuxedos, spoke in slang from the time and built monuments to Objectivism and Art Deco, long relegated to a niche architectural style swept the nation as new "Spacescrapers" were planned. A Gentleman's Guide which became the heart of the movement, would be published and republished dozens of times in a myriad of languages making Doveland billions. In the end however the New 20s as the era was called came to an end much like the Old 20s. A massive economic crash which plunged the world into the New Dark Age. Doveland would die poor and broke living in his parents basement as his money suddenly became worth less than the chips it was programmed on.

If I knew what the damned crab did with his life, I woulda crushed him right there! Woulda saved humanity a lot of fuckin bloodshed.

"And today and forever" -Queen Victoria

Queen Victoria of Bavaria during her speech declaring war on Serbia, Russia, Spain, France, and the UK, launching the Second Septian War. Being a woman leading the Entente's enemy, a good chunk of the latter's propaganda was very sexist, saying she was an incompetent fool who slept with her generals and molested and shot POWs all the time.

"King Vikram was a wise, just, and noble man who promoted ideals of peace with bordering nations and justice for the impoverished, and always listened to what the people of his kingdom had to say and incorporated them into his own plans.

So naturally, his people loathed him for those reasons and got rid of the poor guy when they had the chance."
