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.
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.
Orange!
They're all amazing but my vote is for Campfire Headphase
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.
This is fake?
He could never have such good taste in music.
No way Trump appreciates Boards of Canada.
Turns out this fakepost is actually a Boards of Canada fan detector mechanism, apparently.
I could tell partway into the first line because there is no way that this man appreciates art of any kind.
Why write fake posts when his real ones are even crazier
:cautiously lifts onions to mouth, taking a bite:
Yeah this one tasted like shit lmao
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.
The fact that there is a possibility that this is real and not Satire tells a lot about american society
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 satire or real? I really can't tell
came to the comments to find out… still can't tell…
I had a stroke about seven words in. Could someone tell me what this is about?
Another good one: https://youtu.be/_u6R8qNfQV4
Honestly we'd probably be better off if this was true, plus we get rid of florida? No brainer
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

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 daysday (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!Same here. They stir things up in me. Timeless amazing music.
Elder Scrolls soundtrack are also special to me, in some similar and some different ways.
Boards of Canada kick fucking ass. That much is true.
Yeah, but they aren't Canadian.
“Folks, have you heard this? There’s this big, gorgeous EP, they call it In a Beautiful Place Out In The Country. The Woke Democrats say it samples a Branch Davidian recruitment tape, but I don’t know folks…”
Music has the right to children. Bigly.
God damn I love that OP so much.
Actually wish this was real lmao
No, we Canadians don’t want America, specially the red part. Well, maybe Alaska. That part is OK, they have king crab.
Ikr, who doesn't love King Crab?
But what does he think of Trans Canada Highway?
Or the Pontiac Trans Am?
Is that also an EP of Boards of Canada?
Trumo should be in mental institution, not White House. Seriously.
There’s a difference?
When a clown moves in to the Palace, the clown doesn't become a King. Rather, the Palace turns into a circus. (or something like that)
Of course there's a difference, one is a place where the mentally unwell go to get what they need before moving on in life, while the other is being defunded by the former.
Regardless of if this is real or not, "he" types just like he speaks. I read that in trumps voice in my head.
I believed this was real for about half of the text. This fucking guy..
I prefer múm, but BOC is pretty good too.
Do I like Tim Hortons now?
Always have
You missed the boat, they suck now.
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
