Why write fake posts when his real ones are even crazier

[–] Aeri@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Honestly we'd probably be better off if this was true, plus we get rid of florida? No brainer

[–] HexPat@lemm.ee 181 points 2 days ago (6 children)

What upsets me the most is how far into it I had to read before I knew it was fake.

[–] Glide@lemmy.ca 107 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] sfxrlz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 2 days ago

I’d say more diligent. He was screaming like a madman but practiced in front of a mirror.

[–] LePoisson@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Glide@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

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 still find it funny that just a few years ago a feminist social work journal called Affilia published an article that was essentially a rewrite of a section of Mein Kampf in terms of sex and with some "fashionable buzzwords" included under the title “Our Struggle Is My Struggle: Solidarity Feminism as an Intersectional Reply to Neoliberal and Choice Feminism.” Especially since the bit is spelled out right in the title (for anyone who doesn't know, "Mein Kampf" literally translates as "My Struggle"). It was part of the grievance studies affair.

[–] LePoisson@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Oh yeah I won't pretend he didn't move crowds to coalesce around the Nazi philosophy, he was obviously popular enough to pack stadiums.

Hitler and Goebbels, hell the whole Nazi party, we're really good at the propaganda game. I'd say they really were one of the early pioneers of the use of mass media to steer people into alternate reality. Much like how we see social media being taken advantage of today.

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.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=wnopyFg5msU

Rather poignant message.

Whole album is also great, of course.

Oh uh, headphones recommended.

I could tell partway into the first line because there is no way that this man appreciates art of any kind.

Is this real or fake? I can't tell

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 1 points 1 day ago

Way too long

I thought it was real until the part where he gives away the US to Canada and Greenland. Had that not been in there I would've fallen for it

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 2 points 1 day ago

Trump's paradox

[–] YesButActuallyMaybe@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

It is never FAKE EVER, AS USUAL.

[–] DJDarren@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Maybe I was wrong about this guy. Maybe he’s actually pretty chill.

[–] LanguageIsCool@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Trump listens to Boards of Canada once and becomes a good person

[–] DJDarren@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

Trump has the right to BoC.

The fact that there is a possibility that this is real and not Satire tells a lot about american society

Is this satire or real? I really can't tell

[–] darkmogool@feddit.org 6 points 2 days ago

came to the comments to find out… still can't tell…

[–] 8000gnat@reddthat.com 21 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is fake, the real Boards of Canada love electrical infetterence.

[–] 8000gnat@reddthat.com 5 points 2 days ago

I think Boards of Canada is a pretty cool guy. Eh likes electrical infetterence and doesn't afraid of anything

[–] Cenotaph@mander.xyz 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Is this a copypasta or was that just off the cuff lmao

[–] DJDarren@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

This is true, I was there.

[–] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Want to say I've seen this on reddit years ago and it was a different celebrity mentioned.

[–] floo@retrolemmy.com 25 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I had a stroke about seven words in. Could someone tell me what this is about?

[–] tino@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago
[–] Charlxmagne@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Regardless of if this is real or not, "he" types just like he speaks. I read that in trumps voice in my head.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Can we talk about Boards of Canada for a sec? Such surreal music. It has a special place in my mind.

[–] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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
