What’s this got to do with libs? Comparing TikTok or other Chinese goods to a literal bomb doesn’t make sense, but whatever.

[–] RubicTopaz@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Every single one of those downvotes is from a lib lmao

You see braindead americans saying shit like that about Chinese products; this is a play on that.

Just to correct, the pagers were made by a taiwanese company, not chinese.

[–] Turbonics@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The pagers were licensed by the Taiwanese company. Officially produced in Europe by Hungarian company BAC. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/taiwan-firm-denies-making-pagers-used-lebanon-explosions-rcna171594. But BAC a shell company so the rabbit hole continues.

More recent update, all the actual manufacturers were shell companies wholly operated by Mossad.

I think the meme is suggesting that they were literally made by "the West" but maybe I'm missing something

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Taiwan is part of the capitalist core which is basically synonymous with the west. Honorary west you could say, at least until its strategic significance drops and it will get abandoned by USA.

I understand that argument, but to me that departs from normal parlance of the kind that would ever be used in a meme.

It's just projection as always

The little black box with a screen is a pager. Pagers have been in the news because Israel made a bunch of Hezbollah pagers splode, in case you somehow missed all of that.

Also the west...

Those devices were rigged to blow by Israel, who then pulled the trigger.

USA and it's allies are just shoot themselves in the foot with this terror action.

Posts from Chinese social media, stating factories are running overnight shifts to accommodate huge orders of communication devices from the Middle East.

A requirement from clients, is that the whole manufacturing process must be done inside China.
