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 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.
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.

I could tell partway into the first line because there is no way that this man appreciates art of any kind.
No way Trump appreciates Boards of Canada.
Turns out this fakepost is actually a Boards of Canada fan detector mechanism, apparently.
This is fake?
He could never have such good taste in music.
I read till the “FIRST TIME” and knew it was a fanfic.
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.
Orange!
They’re all amazing but my vote is for Campfire Headphase
