What upsets me the most is how far into it I had to read before I knew it was fake.
It literally took until the "signed America over to Canada" line before I was confident it was fake.
Fuck, this is a weird timeline. At least Hitler was eloquent.
I’d say more diligent. He was screaming like a madman but practiced in front of a mirror.
He wasn't that eloquent honestly. Just ... Boisterous, loud and probably about on par with Trump when it comes to just packing stadiums and getting people riled up over social problems. Problems that were complex but he had simple answers to.
I'm really tired of all this "Hitler was a genius" bullshit, not only did he make terrible military decisions but he ran a government that was in disarray all the time. Constant turmoil followed him and many changes in personnel in important offices oftentimes just seemingly at a whim.
Not saying you're making that argument and honestly I get what you're saying but my God I have met too many people IRL and online that would suck Hitler's dick in an instant. You're right though, this timeline is dumb as fuck.
Yeah, you gave me the benefit of the doubt and I appreciate it, but I want to say clearly that Hitler was anything but a genius. He had a penchant for sticking his nose into professions that he had no business involving himself in, and making decisions that he had no background in, education on, or understanding of. Like Trump, he was a narcissist who thought he knew best just because he is who he is, and was not self-aware enough to let the professionals work.
Perhaps eloquent was the wrong word, as I wrongly assume Mein Kampf was his words, when in reality it was likely the words of his editor, followed by a translator. Instead, I would say that when you hear him speak, Hitler's voice is powerful. I cannot the same for Trump. One feels like a commanding leader, and the other feels like a toddler throwing a tantrum, though they were both, ultimately, the latter.
Also, just so it's on the record, I read Mein Kampf as part of a minor in history. This was not personal interest, though it is an incredibly interesting text. It was fascinating to discover he devoted ~2.5 chapters to the importance of the same kind of simple, yet powerful finger-pointing rhetoric used by right-wing ideologists to this day. I joking say it's one of the earliest texts on meme theory, and it's only half a joke.
I mean, there is literally 0 chance Trump has listened to or even heard of the ... band? musical group? ... Boards of Canada, only took me 7 words.
But uh hey, if you've never heard of em, give em a listen.
In particular, here's the last song, the outro 'manifesto' of their album 'Music has the right to children', their debut in 1998.

Rather poignant message.
Whole album is also great, of course.
Oh uh, headphones recommended.
I don't want them to control what I say or think, just what other people say or think, and I want to be the one in charge of all that, or at least be on the side that's in control of that. -- An uncomfortably large portion of the U.S.
They're all amazing but my vote is for Campfire Headphase
No way Trump appreciates Boards of Canada.
Turns out this fakepost is actually a Boards of Canada fan detector mechanism, apparently.
Is this real or fake? I can't tell
I also, unironically, couldn't tell. That's not a great sign, when you look at gibberish like that and your first thought is "that... genuinely could be him...". Then you come to the comment section, and you're still not sure, because everyone else was unsure too.
Trump's paradox
LLM have come such a long way. They can mimick that cum sock perfectly and it only costs like a swimming pool of water and electricity to run a small Swiss village in the alps.
It is never FAKE EVER, AS USUAL.
The fact that there is a possibility that this is real and not Satire tells a lot about american society
:cautiously lifts onions to mouth, taking a bite:
Yeah this one tasted like shit lmao
I saw Boards of Canada at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
This is fake, the real Boards of Canada love electrical infetterence.
I think Boards of Canada is a pretty cool guy. Eh likes electrical infetterence and doesn't afraid of anything
Is this a copypasta or was that just off the cuff lmao
Want to say I've seen this on reddit years ago and it was a different celebrity mentioned.
This is true, I was there.
Is this satire or real? I really can't tell
came to the comments to find out… still can't tell…
Maybe I was wrong about this guy. Maybe he’s actually pretty chill.
Trump listens to Boards of Canada once and becomes a good person
Trump has the right to BoC.
But what does he think of Trans Canada Highway?
Regardless of if this is real or not, "he" types just like he speaks. I read that in trumps voice in my head.
Can we talk about Boards of Canada for a sec? Such surreal music. It has a special place in my mind.
I just revisited their discography yesterday. They're not usually my favourite type of music, but they have something special going on. Nothing else hits the spot when I'm in a BOC mood which happens pretty often. The pitched vocal sample in Music is Math that goes "eeeeee-onnnnngh" just appears in my head randomly all the time, and same with the one that says "the past inside the present". They're masterful with their use of samples.
I recently came across this video of ixi listening to Geogaddi for the first time and breaking it down. It was a pleasure to see someone's first reaction and with such a depth of music knowledge. Worth a watch imo - https://youtu.be/rQTPgDT1L14
"orange"
Some of my all-time favorite music. They are a massive influence in my taste in music...It had never occurred to me that nostalgia could be induced by 'foreign' (unfamiliar may be the better word) music, and for a place/time that may never have even existed or may be misremembered or jumbled with other memories. It's strange what music can do, how it can make you feel, think, see... They also showed me how ominous electronic music can sound, how much of a landscape can be painted with sound. I love all their albums, and getting to experience the release of Tomorrow's Harvest was a treat.
This is the second time I've seen BoC pop up in the past ~~2 days~~ day (edit, lol). I swear, the one good thing that's come about in the past couple years has been this place. Thank you all for being here and participating!
Why write fake posts when his real ones are even crazier
i imagine every capital word hes just screaming it and its not him its the guy that plays him from snl and then i reamber theres a chance this is real and i just get sad
Boards of Canada kick fucking ass. That much is true.
Yeah, but they aren't Canadian.
Nope, Scottish.
I had a stroke about seven words in. Could someone tell me what this is about?
I prefer múm, but BOC is pretty good too.
I'm still pretty sure that Trump caught Trudeau in bed with Melania and Ivanka.
Honestly we'd probably be better off if this was true, plus we get rid of florida? No brainer
