1:48 for those interested in learning about the Myanmar Civil War, Fact Boi recently changed Warographics to War Fronts! 10/10 recommend the channel though! 😊
No wonder if the Agency has to cooperate with all Soviet forces. And then the right wing extremist-libertists show up. But all three are base rythms of Babylon System anyway. I need some good Ganja to get over this, for sure.
"So much crystal you-know-what..." "Methane! Crystal Methane!" 🤓 Edit - Well dang... That took a turn... I was digging the fairly light story of a grifting little farming state with a tidy side hustle in the opioid/meth game (I know, not so light further down the line) and suddenly we get to endangered animal goods and child exploitation... You weren't kidding with that "into the shadows" line!
It reminds me of the story of the Kuomintang's 93rd Division. The group fled from Yunnan during the Chinese Civil War when the Kuomintang fled to Taiwan. They fled from China to Burma and started a drug trade near Thai-Burmese border, They then had to fight against the communist factions in Burma and the Burmese government before fleeing to Thailand and join the fight against the anti-communist for Thai government until they were able to reside in Thailand, receive Thai citizenship, and were able to be sent back to Taiwan, up until today.
They are not fled, they're relocated by CIA to the manufacturing of heroin in there. You can find part of that in "politics of heroin in South East Asia" How the program originally started
@IssisLinn Well Thanks for it. But most of them didn't do white stuff in Thailand anymore. But they prefer do in Burma border near Thailand because what happens in Myanmar right now is a mess.
@@thea6573 yah coz CIA loss Afghanistan, Taliban basically ban drug. So they need their good old Golden triangle back Also can use that to connect with Bangladesh (recently overthrew by CIA) through Manipur so they can create another rogue state while blocking South West China access to Indian ocean. Everything is connected, Burma is just unfortunately stuck in between big power and US empire's effort to isolate China.
It's not too far off. In 2020 The fascists known as Antifa started CHAZ and CHOP in downtown Seattle where drugs run free and law enforcement rarely visited.
@retrieversqbd - Wouldn't you be interested in a 4+ hour long video on The Great Train Robbery? I didn't think I was until I watched it. I feel Simom made it really good to watch.
As far as I've seen it's something that only happens on this channel, mostly because it often covers obscure places from where there is a rather poor selection of imagery that will almost certainly not be enough to adequately illustrate an hour long video, AI is just a tool and there is nothing wrong with leveraging it to have a positive impact when the alternative could be just a hand full of vague pictures and 50 minutes of mostly simón talking to two different cameras.
UA-cam had cut off "inside Myanmar" so the title on my notification read "WA State : The Communist Drug Empire..." I read it, shrugged, and thought "What's new?". I was pleasantly surprised to learn that it wasn't one of many articles about the USA.
Why is that? Whenever we see a video about dictatorships? They always mention as if they are communist when they have zero communist lifestyles then when it comes to talking about democracy they never called it capitalist or capitalism versus communism because it’s a dictatorship versus democracy,and by that we mean an indirect democracy.
The people at Wa state spoke Chinese because the Wa state was part of China during Ming dynasty and many went there to escape conflict in China. Culturally, they are closer to China.
Regarding the Yunnan-Myanmar borderland ethnic groups, some of them were practically a subset of Han Chinese in a historical socio-cultural sense. Somewhat similar to the various Germanic-Nordic groups. The Han+55 PRC designation somewhat exaggerated the number of ethnic groups. Perhaps some could be categorized as tribals within the same group.
@@jorgelotr3752 They aren't Han chinese, like most parts of China those piece of shit people have infiltrated other regions of the country and claim it as their own
I live in WA state. Wouldn’t have been surprised if it had referenced my state, the drug epidemic and homelessness is so rampant, and our left wing politicians so wildly ineffective, that it may as well have been about WA state.
So, umm, how big a group would it take to get Wa State to pivot to filling the global shortage of ADHD meds? Can't be that different chemically, right?
if nobody has brought this up yet I would be surprised, but you are the Attenborough of our generation. We are roughly the same age give or take months, and I can just imagine 60 year old Simon still making content. If we make it that far.
@@timw4432 lol, your opinion, you're still watching/listening. I hear what I hear 😆🤷 if he's kicking at 60 he'll be the equivalent of some guy stomping through nature 'discovering' it for the commonwealth.
Secret? Really? The Shan were doing it from the late 40's and the Wa have been doing this for t least 40 years. It all goes back to the KMT who are now just a sad mainland Chinese political party in Taiwan. Double Lion is the primo China white that has been coming out of there for 70 years.
Welcome to Simon's constant mispronunciations. To be fair, he knows he does lol and I get the feeling a lot of them are words he has not said before/been corrected.
Hello, from WA state
I was getting concerned until I saw Myanmar.
Hello, from SA state

They have better coverage of isreal/ukraine than most as well than
Solid book on this if anyone is interested: "Narcotopia: In Search of the Asian Drug Cartel That Survived the CIA"
Cheers was looking fir a new read love this type of book.

*starts fourteenth channel*
THIS IS MY PRIVATE DOMICILE.
Every week i discover a new Simon channel, wow
The year is 2032, Simon has taken over the internet as our new overlord
Some such honestly. He just has someone type some shit up and he runs with it.
As long as the better channels remain. The long-form Whistler channels are impossible for me to tolerate. They’re like cocaine-fueled fever dreams.

1:43 wow this has been on the shelf for a while lol
I noticed that too!! LOL
Not really, the switch was recent so the videos in the queue still need to be done
AI art throwns me off, would rather see an actual picture of the housings
Same. I'd rather no pics than AI pics
Myanmar has the best combat sport, Lethwei
I'm getting Benedict Cumberbatch trying to say Penguin vibes, from this. Maahnmaah
I'm disappointed that the YT overlords gotten so sensitive that words can not be used in any context anymore.
Best to call it Burma for all times relating to pre renaming. There’s a constant conflict for a reason.
What reason?

I completely agree Cameron Madden
I recommend to rename the channel back. Wtf is this yellow snapchat crap
@@pantherdddjvdgxI like it

Wow another Simon channel lol love u Buddy

What's the difference between this channel and geographics?
This is the new Geographics.
I love that there's such a thing as a Karen army

Laundered through City of London.
Simon, where is your awesome shirt? I made my icon inspired by that shirt only!!
Kids, don't do drugs.
When I first saw the title I thought you meant Washington State 😂
What is it with his pronunciation of Myanmar?
He's terminally English
British accent showing through.
Top gear introduced the world to this country
No it didn't. The world doesn't learn anything of importance from that nonsense.
@@kieronparr3403 they learned about the civil war
Were they watching "Breaking Bad" prior to developing their more recent industry?
Yes, my favourite country, Ma-ma.
Damn bro u got channels for days 😮😅
Mon-mahr
2:19 what does the word ecrusized mean? I tried googling but no luck? Something to do with maps I'm guessing?

Please stop using AI slop for art.
Love this channel but I fully agree
So youre going to Pay several Illustrators or want to have quite Less frequent Videos? Dont think so pal, Not using AI is just Not competitive
AI depictions are garbage
show us on the doll where the AI pictures hurt you.
Are we sure Simon isn't AI? There's like eight of him now
The people at Wa state spoke Chinese because the Wa state was part of China during Ming dynasty and many went there to escape conflict in China. Culturally, they are closer to China.
I would guess it'd be because they are ethnically Han chinese...

I keep thinking this ìs an episode of Into the Shadows
A hit team has already been dispatched to the Checz republic. Keep your head d own Simeon!
I live in WA state. Wouldn’t have been surprised if it had referenced my state, the drug epidemic and homelessness is so rampant, and our left wing politicians so wildly ineffective, that it may as well have been about WA state.
Can you think of a state where that ISNT the case?
We are flying Dragon???? We need blu ray copy of Simple Jack.
"Maanmaah"
There is no need for three or four different channels, this has to be a money thing
🇺🇸
Another country added to the list of countries Simon can't visit anymore.
Honestly sounds like Bute in Montana
30:45 methinks this clip ends up on a weird celebrity web list somewhere soon...
Have a shot everytime he says "MaaaaMaaaaa"
I reckon the only people who are enjoying their life within Wa State are the very rich.

As a resident of Wa State... Got me going for a second (washington state, US).
Is this really how you pronounce Myanmar? (asking as a non-native speaker)
😮
They should rename wa state to MOS eisley
Yo what is his side channel called
which of the 100 you mean?
Crystal is supposed to by opaque white, not blue. If it’s blue, you did it wrong or you watch too much TV
Nope blue version is better and more potent the best is pink or beige aka biker dope😂 it all depends on the ingredients
I'm so glad YT updated their video speed preferences. 1.20x is perfect for this.
23:00. Simon: "screw demonitization" CRYSTAL METH! 😅
YES;
50 minutes of him saying MAAA AAAH MAAAAAA
So … Wa State is to China what Mexico is to the USA? 😅
No. Wa state is the the USA what Mexico is the the USA.

They both share a northern border with a communist country
Agreed, communist, drug filled. Very much like Washington state
Lol
I am a fellow Washintonian. No, we're not. Not at all.😊
You said your sister channel “warographics”. This hasn’t been name for over 2 weeks lol.
"Maan Maaa"?
So it's basically China's own version of Mexico
its MYAN-Mar not maan maan xD hahaha... gave me a good chuckle tho HAHA it's like Comberbatch trying to say Penguin, im dying xD
Factboi made a new channel
Breaking bad: Asian edition
I like most of your videos, Simon. But could you please learn to pronounce the name of the country correctly? It's Mee-yan-mar. Thanks
Only 34 comments so far. I can see their desire for anonymity
Washington State as a Communist Drug Empire? I thought that was only Portland. 😂
Does UA-cam have a limit on how many channels one man can run?
Is Simon really an AI graphic on random backgrounds?
Probably AI at this point
Lovely.
Another channel?

If Walter White is a Burmese Chinese.
This must have been written a while ago. Warographics is now Warfronts.
It's pronounced Myan-mar, just like Nyan in Nyan cat. Not Mai-mar.
