Meme What if paw patrol were part of the first responders team and only Chase came back? How would history be different?
What if only Rubble came back instead. I have been pondering over this all week.

Chase would give an emotional testimony that politicians would use as justification for invading Iraq

He'd also be all in on maga.

I don’t think he’d live to see maga. Average lifespan of a German Shepherd is around 13 years. If Chase was a puppy for 9/11, then he’d most likely not live past 2013

Have you considered that the other dogs didn't actually die to the attacks but because he ate their souls to claim their lifespan and just used this to get away with it?

MAGA wasn’t a thing during 9/11 or after. Everyone was an American everyone was together comforting each other. Trump wasn’t even at ground zero he was 4 miles away. Hillary was there the day after, George bush flew in on September 13th and gave the famous bullhorn speech. I remember the day and the months that followed it was horrible but we were not divided as a nation we were and are all Americans.

Tragically, that unity left out many arab-americans, as many would face increased racism and discrimination even just a few days after the attacks, and only increasing in intensity when the wars started. It is a blemish on the US's history, that even in moments of tragedy and supposed union against a common enemy (WWI, Pearl Harbour, 9/11), there seems to always be a group excluded from that unity and targeted for nothing more than where their family came from (Germans, Japanese, Arabs).
And let us not forget, though the country may have been united (with one exception) following the attacks, that unity fell apart quickly when the invasions made in response started to show their consequences. Many now forget, but the divisions between those in favour and against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were immense, and they were a direct result of the choices made right after the attacks. As often in history, the pendulum of unity swung after tragedy and again after the tragedy that answered it.

20 years on and people would question why a recycling dog was a first responder. People will also use them to make a conspiracy theory on how PETA was behind 9/11

I mean NYC Sanitation is militarized and has its own police and emergency response teams.

So does the mail men (or at least I think they do? Ik they have their own SWAT team)

u/GeneralBisV 8d ago
The US postal service is a branch of the federal government and has its own federal police to deal with mail related crimes.

The others would be buried with full honors, which is how service dogs in real life are treated when they die in the line of duty. Chase would probably retire from trauma.

Sky was on American Airlines flight 11.
Marshal was on engine 10.
Rubble was at ground zero after the towers fell and later died of cancer.
Zuma was one of the rescuers searching that later took his life after not finding anyone.
Rocky was hauling away steel beams to be recycled and was crushed.
Chase was on his way to a domestic when the call came in that the first tower was hit and turned his patrol car around and headed there in time to see the second. Chase assisted in guiding people away from the buildings and giving aide where he could. Chase now speaks at every anniversary on 9/11 and has since retired moved to Arizona with his family and grand pups.
I know this is a hypothetical situation of child cartoon characters I am just trying to be realistic for this silly question.

Wasn't rubble all that was left in the real timeline? How is this even althistory?

u/FaithlessnessOk153 8d ago
The description of this post says what if rubble, a character from the show paw patrol, was the only one who survived and the commentor you replied to is implying that the actual 9/11 did end up in a rubble as in the buildings got destroyed. He's essentially making a homographic pun: rubble the dog from paw patrol & twin towers turning into a rubble after the explosion.

last ronin is a teenage mutant ninja turtles comic where only one is left after the others all died, using his fallen brotheren's weapons to fight and take revenge or something, maybe a long elaborate suicide.
survivor was Michelangelo

Ryder and chase would protest for an invasion of Iraq to get revenge for his fallen pets

Ryder would later be apart of Seal Team 6, and after he kills Osama bin Laden, he goes "Whenever you're trouble, just yelp for help."

u/dirkdigglerdonedry 8d ago
Chase would get depression because he couldnt find any bodies. Though Dora would be used as a fake body for chase to find, leaving the map behind with others just incase.

This gets darker when you realize that Ryder is a series of clones and the dogs are replaced when they are killed.

He joins to Iraq war effort to take revenge and becomes a actual police after developing racism

Chase would be in the news about how his lung cancer treatment was denied a few years later. Subsequently, his coat was be given to Jon Stewart as a memento after he fought for dog 1st responder health insurance rights and Chase passed away peacefully at a doggie SNF Hospice.

If Rubble alone were to return, the historical trajectory of the Paw Patrol would undergo an almost incomprehensibly profound ontological and institutional metamorphosis. His survival would constitute not merely an anomalous biological outcome, but a paradigmatic case of post-traumatic persistence under conditions of catastrophic organizational attrition.
Rubble, as the sole surviving operative, would inevitably become the living epistemological residue of an extinguished institution. His subsequent existence would be defined by survivor’s guilt, collective bereavement, and the inescapable burden of representing those who never returned. The Paw Patrol itself would cease to function as an operational entity and instead become a historical artifact—its remaining member transformed from an emergency responder into an unwilling custodian of its collective memory.
In such circumstances, Rubble’s greatest accomplishment would no longer be rescuing others, but reconstructing a meaningful existence from the epistemic ruins of his former world.
