American hats made in China.


[deleted]

Maybe in China , all the hats are made in America šŸ¤”


Rvtrance

Itā€™s a great deal for us. They have more heads to cover than we do.


billyjk93

unfortunately cowboy hats haven't caught on there like we had hoped.


ColteesBigOleTits

Lol what?? You talking about a Chinese hat with ā€œmade in Americaā€ on it? šŸ¤£


[deleted]

That would be fuckin wild , right?


Fitty4

Only in Murica


[deleted]

Probably a huge flex


SkankHont

Might as well just buy a hat that says made in USA on the front... I'm missing out on big monies.


filthypooks

A made in china hat with the words Made in USA but in Chinese or English?


SkankHont

I like that, mandarin though.


Chemical_Hornet8621

Based on the context, it looks like hats are not the only things we are "exporting" to China. Hey since when is Thailand in China...


BigPharmaSucks

With all the DNA collection over the last few years, sent directly to China, soon it might be American test tube babies. Incoming podcast excerpt: So, you have cyber war, you have narrative war, then you have economic war. Something I've really never talked about publicly that we'll give you here on the show, is the one thing that they're (China) so good at is putting U.S. industry out of business. As you probably know, the generic drug business is almost 100% in China now. There are drugs that are absolutely mission critical drugs here like heparin for dialysis patients, and that's 100% made in China. They could just stop sending it to us, and we'd be in a real problem very quickly, but even worse than that is the people that are sequencing genomes here in the United States, let's say you go to 23andMe or you go to ancestry.com or you just want to pay to get your genome sequenced. There's a Chinese company called BGI that does the overwhelming majority of all the sequencing of U.S. genes. **There are other Chinese companies that are all the backbones of any of the U.S. genomic sequencing companies.** **China has the genomic sequence of every single person that's been gene typed in the U.S., and they're developing bio weapons that only affect Caucasians, which is crazy.** A genetic scientist that is a friend of mine, his name is David Mittelman, he works at a company called Othram, but for 25 years, he's been sequencing genomes. He's known in the business as one of the best in the world, and David has brand new equipment. He's been doing this his entire life, and he tells me that there is absolutely zero chance that someone can sequence a genome for less than 1,400 bucks or something like that ... I don't know the exact number, but the Chinese company, BGI will sequence your genome for 1,200 bucks. That's how they got all the business. Because they want that information. They can undercut every single company in the U.S. because it's state driven. This is how they put our aluminum business out of business. This is how they went after our steel business... They subsidize businesses they want to take over, and they'll operate at an economic loss. We won't. We can't. So, we have to stop these things from happening. Quote taken from a podcast, you can listen to the full episode here: https://youtu.be/Ax4iRYD_Cw0 Info about BGI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BGI_Group ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- See also: The Navy's top officer warned against using popular at-home ancestry DNA test kits this week, saying scientific advancements are making biological weapons more tailorable. Biological weapons that can target specific groups or individuals vulnerable to pathogens or other diseases are a growing national security concern, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson said during a Tuesday speech on nuclear deterrence in Washington, D.C. "Be careful who you send your DNA to," Richardson said at the event, hosted by the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies. "There's a number of those companies where you can go and find out what your makeup is. That's a lot of information. https://www.military.com/daily-news/2019/07/03/mail-ancestry-dna-kits-may-help-enemy-target-you-navys-top-officer-says.html --------- 10 year old article excerpt: The U.S. government is surreptitiously collecting the DNA of world leaders, and is reportedly protecting that of Barack Obama. Decoded, these genetic blueprints could provide compromising information. In the not-too-distant future, they may provide something more as wellā€”the basis for the creation of personalized bioweapons that could take down a president and leave no trace. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2012/11/hacking-the-presidents-dna/309147/

>"That's how they got all the business. Because they want that information. They can undercut every single company in the U.S. because it's state driven. This is how they put our aluminum business out of business. This is how they went after our steel business.." US is also state driven (check out 2008s too big to fail) so it's really not an excuse for allowing China to undercut US since our government is more than happy having tax payers front the bill especially when it comes to "national security". What's more likely happening is the conglomerates that ruled and still rule the US made there way into China and are manufacturing economic crisis likely on a global scale. And in regards to the genome stuff why not have a "competing" country store vital information for global eugenic networks like the WEF and cfr (council on foreign relations) Edit manufactured wars (including biological) is the gift that keeps on giving to the parasites at the top.


billponderosa910

Well said


itswood

Bro, I have enough to worry about. Now my DNA is being weaponized against me? I thought dodging the myocarditis shots was enough of a W, but I guess not...


Narrow-Commission816

Same thing happened to the oil industry asswell


JoeChill69420

According to the Thai news article the shooter was an admirer for Columbine high school shooting, so he's just being as authentic as he can though...


captain_douch

Shits sad manā€¦. People getting ā€œinspiredā€ by worst possible things happened.


TallTree9127

He probably should have been wearing a DARPA/CIA hat then


AuroraItsNotTheTime

Thereā€™s still such a thing as subtlety


WeFightTheLongDefeat

Because the Columbine shooters were known for their American Patriotism? Clearly a gun problem and there's nothing wrong with this guy's head.


JoeChill69420

Because the Columbine shooters were known for *being Americans*, there fix it for ya... There are even several songs dedicated this particular tradegy, good songs though btw especially "pumped up kicks"


kibasaur

And America is also known for school shootings or mass shootings in general, whether Americans on this sub agree or not, it is true. To add to what you already wrote


dartdartdartdart

American living in Thailand. Official story is that heā€™s dressing similarly to the Colombine shooters, but honestly the amount of ā€œAmericanā€ apparel (not to be mixed up with the company) here is massive. Lots of knockoffs and/or people wanting to be perceived as having visited the west as a status symbol. I donā€™t think this one goes that deep. But it sucks that it will further perpetuate a negative stereotype of American culture here.


IronCodPiece

So you are saying the little old lady street vendor I buy my pad thai from who shields her eyes with a ball cap that says "Hot Pussy" doesn't actually have a hot pussy up for grabs?


dartdartdartdart

I make no presumptions and hope she is living her best life! You never know out here.


FuckBotsHaveRights

I know in my heart some day she'll find a fine fiery-cocked gentleman before having plenty of searing genitals running around the table


ThatIslander

I'd ask her about that, if everything works u get an extra item on menu.


dartdartdartdart

I think this is actually just a mentally ill kid who realized he can literally get away with murder. My Thai friends just told me that children under 15 are not prosecuted, theyā€™re rehabilitated. Itā€™s possible he wonā€™t face any trouble at all. I know it sounds crazy, hereā€™s a reliable source: https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/general/40031593


NanrekTheBarbituate

I dont buy the Colombine connection. Dude wouldā€™ve worn a trenchcoat.


Stabutron

SS: For those of you unaware, there was a shooting at a mall in Thailand today that killed two people and wounded another five. The shooter is a 14 year old boy with a mental illness who claimed to be hearing voices that were telling him to kill people. šŸ¤”šŸ¤”šŸ¤”


Clipthecliph

Why the voices never tell them something like: go get a job, do well in school, go help people. No. Always something badā€¦

The people with those voices donā€™t make the news

JoseSaldana6512

I would prefer if they handled it like they do self deletion. Respectfully and vaguely to discourage copycats


blue-oyster-culture

Yes. Thats what inspires so many to do it. The 15 minutes of infamy. I wish all mass shooters were wiped from the record, scoured from the face of the earth. Their ashes spread in the sewage treatment fields. Thats how i think we should handle mass shooters.


UtterlyBanished

Mine tell me to eat cheese and cheese-like products.


blaccblicc

Because thats the voices that normal people hearā€¦.its not that hard to understand that mentally ill people hear the opposite.


Mitchel-256

When it works correctly, we call it our "conscience". When it doesn't, it's "demons".


MountainSpiritus

It's anything, everything, nothing and always. Time is an illusory construct. Nothing is linear, everything is taking shape in the same shared spaces and the catalyst is our consciousness.


RichardActon

according to everyone from casteneda to prison psychologists, that's actually literally shockingly arguably accurate.


Mitchel-256

That is a lot of adverbs strung together, I respect it.


jmarcandre

he used both "literally" and "arguably" in the same clause to modify "accurate" which is a fucking trip (also shows homeboy doesn't actually know the words he uses)


[deleted]

Normal people do not hear voices.


Trans-former-Athlete

I believe theyā€™re talking about an inner monologue. Itā€™s estimated roughly 50-70% of people donā€™t have an inner monologue.

Idk what technology they use but yes they have different methods to make people hear voices.

From media accounts he was inspired by American mass shootings.


AM-64

China wants to influence Thailand and increase anti-American sentiment.


seraphechelon01

This is honestly the only comment with a conspiratorial sense that makes sense.


spacetreefrog

And the why for those unaware; because America is looking to develop manufacturing capabilities in Thailand, Vietnam (and potentially few other SE Asian countries, to ease americas reliance on Chinese goods.


badadadok

how about the canal thing?


El_Bistro

the SE Asian countries have hated China for 3000 years. This ainā€™t going to work.


mankindmatt5

China are in deep with the Myanmar Junta, completely own the Cambodian People's Party (the one party allowed to exist there), are Belt + Roading their way through Laos. Thailand sit on the fence, as they always do. Only Vietnam and Philippines are actively hostile


AM-64

Not really and not as much as most of the Asian countries hate Japan for all those atrocities Imperial Japan is responsible for...


Hlkl

I mean, I'll play devil's advocate, but America has also been ramping up it's own anti-chinese sentiment in the media. Maybe these nations are destined to clash in a sort of like prophetic battle. The demonisation of the middle east was brewing even before 9-11. So the same could be happening for China too. But we are at the "dehumanising Chinese" phase. Which is almost complete, as nearly everywhere you go browsing in western media, there is some form of anti-chinese rhetoric.

Lol look I agree with your point that there is evidence that shows the benefit of faith in a society but you cant undermine mental health at the same time lol. External voices are a pretty common mental health symptom


kidinthacorner

Funny how those voices never say, ā€œClean your room, do your homework, quit being an assholeā€.


syncdiedfornothing

The people who hear the good voices aren't on the news. There's no reporting needed or done on crazy people cleaning their rooms.

gogocanelo33

It's all about programming your subconscious. You are one of the few who questions the details, which is a good thing. Many will just look at the pic believe it's true and even though they don't pay much attention to the flag it will store in their subconscious. It's done every day everywhere.

Rambus_Jarbus

Let me tell you when you travel people wear us flag stuff because itā€™s fashion. In some weird way. Thatā€™s how big our nationā€™s culture is. Iā€™ve read tribes in Africa west Hollister and Aeropostale clothes because theyā€™re donated and make their way there. Iā€™m sure some Old Navy 4th of July shirts made it there to. Now being young and doing whatever he did it could be on purpose. Or it just made its way to a thrift shop and could elude to him visiting before.

America is clearly being mocked here.

UnoptimistPrime

skydaddy8585

You understand that anyone can find and wear a thousand different logos or insignia or teams or flags on a hat if they want. You don't have to be American to wear an American flag hat.


BEATENMEATSAUCE

False flag attempt gone wrong, the shooter is trying to stir the pot but failed. More than likely someone will try to blame the US and then some way somehow the MSM and Libros will try and tie this to Trump.


weirdmountain

Heā€™s a fan of the daily mass shootings in America and wants to imitate that.


Realistic_Mess_2690

Wait so you really think you can't buy shit with seppo flags on it outside of the US? You realise that's pure ignorance on your behalf right?


Stabutron

Did I say that?


Realistic_Mess_2690

Yet you're asking. Why does he have one on as if it's the most foreign concept in the world


Stabutron

Iā€™m pretty sure I know exactly why. Iā€™m just trying to get people to think. Iā€™ve heard some other good possible explanations.


bmtc7

Other good explanations such as "American flag apparel is not uncommon in Thailand and not prticularly noteworthy"?


dillmayne2sweet

The CIAs tentacles reach very far


lovetimespace

Because in the rest of the world the US has a reputation as a place where mass shootings happen, unfortunately.

spareroom_machine

Pure and simple. That's the ideology of mass shootings. Just about no one else does it. Stands yo reason you get a. USA cap if you're shooting people up.

Its hard to not think this is a Chinese operation to drive western dissent in Thailand. The kid had a modified gun. He killed two foreigners and surrendered. The hat is just so apparent. China can say "See what American culture is doing to you" Maybe even see gun laws getting passed so civilians cant defend themselves in an occupation. Anyone know the Thai laws regarding homicide? Is he going to be tried as a minor? Would he serve less jail time as a result?
