They wanted China to annex a part of Myanmar and not even the part of Myanmar that’s right next to China but the part of Myanmar that borders Thailand.

Doomers get basic shit wrong but somehow expect the rest of us to take any of their bullshit seriously.

the needless pessimism here is reaching such heights that I can’t even be sure if this is a joke or not, lmfao. i’m like 80% sure it is? is this a post making fun of how the doomers sound are they just that far gone?

We are dealing with someone who thinks China should annex Chin State from Myanmar. Here’s Chin State btw.

Rather, the attack may have been a choice by Netanyahu to silence critics who claim he is not doing enough against Hezbollah.

Part of it is to try to make people forget about the Yemeni ballistic missile hitting Tel Aviv.

The closest I could find is something like this:

Even though the BBC purposefully refuse to connect the dots, you can see how:

1. The attack took place at a public supermarket and not at a Hezbollah rally or Hezbollah militant funeral, meaning the vast majority of people are not affiliated with Hezbollah.

2. You can see how a random bystander could get injured. Imagine if the dude stood like a foot closer to where the pager was or if the little girls near the orange fruit at the top middle switched places with the dude.

3. The BBC itself admits that the pagers were detonated simultaneously, meaning this wasn’t Mossad making a mistake and detonating the pager before the old man got to his car. It was a simultaneous detonation of multiple devices, meaning there was no concern over collateral damage or even awareness whether they actually got the alleged Hezbollah member.

I thought like this too, but there are apparently reports of other devices going off. This would mean the method of detonation is (mostly) device independent.

If Iran and Hezbollah don’t attack Israel in the next few hours, they will have essentially surrendered.

This is absolutely news and not just you giving your hot doomer take on the situation.

There are reports from otherwise reliable accounts on Resistance Twitter of various other devices exploding in Lebanon. If these reports are true, this means that the trigger mechanism is independent of the device the rigged batteries are installed in.

We disapprove of the IDF shooting at a WHO-led convoy, so we’re taking immediate action by writing an angry letter tweeting an angry tweet:

No, there’s a difference between discussing the Ls and thinking the cause is lost with just one L. And most of the time, the doomerism is entirely unwarranted. People were losing their shit when Ukraine launched their doomed excursion into Russian territory and despite the repeated assurance from more sober minded people that the excursion was doomed, too many people were losing their shit and spreading doomer takes until it turned out Ukraine predictably wasn’t able to do what the Swedes, French, and Germans failed to do.

Doomerism is technically reactionary. There’s a reason why revolutionary optimism is a thing, why “pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will” gets repeated. In regards to the pager attack, this is fine while this is doomer nonsense. Someone personally feeling emotionally distraught over an L doesn’t give them license to dump those negative feelings onto the rest of us. Those negative emotional dumping almost never comes with analysis anyways, certainly not good analysis.

Everyone’s shifting blame because they know it’ll completely destroy their sales.

“Nothing ever happens” is undialectical. The dialectic is ever in motion. What seems like nothing happening is actually contradictions pushing against each other towards a temporary equilibrium, but one contradiction will eventually overcome the other.

Some unconfirmed rumors floating around in Twitter:

There were multiple brands involved, including Motorola and a Taiwanese brand:

The American University of Beirut hospital had a device refresh where they quietly replaced their pagers 10 days before the terrorist attack (CW: the subsequent tweet shows someone lying in a pool of their own blood):

Thread on Motorola’s collaboration with the Zionist entity. The pagers were Motorola pagers:

Wild speculation ahead:

My guess is they tempered with the batteries. A lot of pagers (most pagers?) seem to just use AAA batteries, so they could make custom AAA batteries where half of it is the actual battery providing the device with a certain volt and ampere while the other half is where the explosive is stored. At the end of the day, electronics mostly care about whether a battery has the right amount of current and voltage. They don’t have a means of determining the particular form factor of the battery. The explosives would trigger based on heat, so people saying that Mossad send a signal to overheat the devices are half-correct. They send the overheat signal, which causes the device to overheat, which triggers the explosives within the batteries.

Why do people continue to say this shit and why do we tolerate people who continue to say this shit?

When the dollar is no longer the most desirable asset, its exchange value will plunge, purchasing power will fall, imports will become more expensive, and re-industrialization will be needed to rebuild/reshape its own economy until it has something real to offer to the world. This is going to take decades. Why else would other countries want to sell stuff to America when it doesn’t have anything to offer?

I agree with your broad points throughout this thread although I think that when it gets to this stage, the US will simply balkanize. You make the fair point that state separatism (Texan separatism) is nonviable now because the US can simply sanction the breakaway state and completely destroy that state’s economy. But this relies on dollar hegemony. Without dollar hegemony, the US will internally collapse due to unresolved internal contradictions and the stresses of climate change.

The US isn’t China with 5000 years of history with tradition and institutions that are more than a millennia old and a populace that recognizes its place in that 5000 year old history. The US is an illegitimate settler-colony that’s less than 3 centuries old, less than most major Chinese dynasties. And people might laugh at how Zionists have no ability to handle adversity whatsoever, but if there’s any populace that’s even less likely to handle adversity and even more pampered, it’s Burgerlanders. Can you imagine Burgerlanders eating war rations or having to obey a national curfew when they throw a temper tantrum over wearing a fucking face mask?

National unity only exists because they live high off of hegemony thanks to the dollar. And when that hegemony is taken away, national unity will evaporate overnight. The US is a nation of thieves and when the going gets tough, the thieves will turn on each other.
