Pro islam, want more sharia law.

2018-07-24 09:20:12 UTC  

We talking caning for premarital relationships, and the more fanatical are okay with child marriage

2018-07-24 09:21:13 UTC  

The "left" here do not care for relligion in politics, and even the most relligious party in the "left wing" coalition wants freedom of relligion and want to reduce the influence of islam in law.

2018-07-24 09:21:43 UTC  

We call that faction Amanah and the leader used to be the lead of Malaysia's current islamic law party (PAS)

2018-07-24 09:22:19 UTC  

fascinating.

2018-07-24 09:22:37 UTC  

Dont ask malaysians about us politics.

2018-07-24 09:23:00 UTC  

THey think the repubs is full of "far right" and compare them to child marriage advocates.

2018-07-24 09:23:13 UTC  

Thats cause our "right wing" is bloody messed up.

2018-07-24 09:23:45 UTC  

I'm unsurprised honestly. Hollywood tries to portray the American right in the most unsavory terms they can and that's the message that leaves American shores.

2018-07-24 09:23:55 UTC  

Its not that part.

2018-07-24 09:24:15 UTC  

I wouldnt call that inaccurate but its effect isnt that.

2018-07-24 09:24:28 UTC  

We have the left here who dislike the right cause their example of rightwing is really bad.

2018-07-24 09:24:58 UTC  

And the actual far right who look at pride parades and tolerance in other countries and use that as an excuse to not allow left policies

2018-07-24 09:25:32 UTC  

Movies? Most people just watch marvel superhero films here. They just watch what is fun.

2018-07-24 09:26:32 UTC  

Like if I started saying I like what Trump is doing in the Malaysia reddit, I would be called far right.

2018-07-24 09:27:08 UTC  

But if you went point by point without mentioning parties or names you'd be left?

2018-07-24 09:27:30 UTC  

Exactly.

2018-07-24 09:27:52 UTC  

I could name some of trumps stances, and they would think I am left.

2018-07-24 09:28:15 UTC  

I am left wing in malaysia, but if I were in the US youd find me very right wing or libertarian

2018-07-24 09:29:13 UTC  

Fascinating. The Malay I'd talked to became American left and was really bothered when discussing what she was returning to.

2018-07-24 09:29:26 UTC  

This would help make sense of why.

2018-07-24 09:29:50 UTC  

What you mean by that?

2018-07-24 09:29:53 UTC  

Returning to?

2018-07-24 09:29:59 UTC  

She was in the US for education.

2018-07-24 09:30:11 UTC  

And was returning to Malaysia to work after graduation.

2018-07-24 09:30:40 UTC  

But bothered?

2018-07-24 09:31:02 UTC  

Something about sex discrimination mostly. I get she felt that #MeToo skipped Malaysia.

2018-07-24 09:31:23 UTC  

Oh god I hope we didnt get another feminist from abroad....

2018-07-24 09:31:35 UTC  

I mean I know a chinese lady my age. She came back from the UK

2018-07-24 09:31:41 UTC  

It was a bit outside my expertise and she did the feminist hounding thing so I couldn't really press.

2018-07-24 09:31:50 UTC  

long story short, PJW was right. And she agreed with the vid I showed her

2018-07-24 09:32:47 UTC  

Feminism does not really have a root here yet

2018-07-24 09:33:23 UTC  

Country is very islamic. But very islamic-lite.

2018-07-24 09:33:46 UTC  

Sex discrimination though? I saw alot of women in the offices I worked at

2018-07-24 09:33:55 UTC  

Sure not in high up positions.

2018-07-24 09:34:09 UTC  

But theres alot of women with careers here.

2018-07-24 09:34:34 UTC  

Heck, all of my aunts, like 5 mothers side? They all own buisnesses or hold a high position.

2018-07-24 09:34:49 UTC  

Which was why I found faminism rather wierd.

2018-07-24 09:35:22 UTC  

Cause you want oppression or suffering? Ive seen the house they used to grow up in, and now they own the biggest estate in the villige.

2018-07-24 09:36:23 UTC  

I should ask, what video is this?

2018-07-24 09:36:55 UTC  

Also, sorry if we're sending you a nutty SJW feminist. The Unis here are a bit converged and it's not clear how to break it.
