Prolly the best one is a city south of me which is a liberal
he seems to have found a good recipe for dealing with these issues
tbh, I never recalled any immigrants causing a huge issue in Indonesia
some tribal tensions, sure
it just depends on how big the cultural difference is and the language barrier i think
I suppose
and quantity vs period of time
tbh, most people come to Indonesia not to stay, but for vacations
especially in Bali and Lombok
yea i been there once
bali
since there's plenty of tourist destinations in Indonesia
but barely anyone ever pays attention to whats going on in belgium anyways
were a poststamp on the map
I don't think a lot of people in Asia can pinpoint belgium on their first try
unless they either into history or international relations
yea i dont think thats limited to people from asia 😄
but I hope people from congo would be able to point on where belgium is
i dont know, apparently they do and know more of the combined history then people think
at least they understand that they cant expect the current generation to "fix the past" i cant do anything to fix that. But i can say that i never thought about anything regarding race untill recently when people started to non stop talk about it.
it is fair to say tho that schools should do more teaching about our history with congo
because i learned very little of that in school
but in a factual way not in the "you are bad because history" way
what I hope people to do is not fix the past, but acknowledge the sins of our fathers, where things went wrong and do better. Is it not what you can draw from learning history?
Well what we would draw from learning history is that totalitarian states are a bad idea
and the left cant have that.
depends on which kind of left tho...
Thats what history does but the current mentality seems to think that history needs to be rewritten
the only way I can endorse histroy being rewritten is to remove most of the bias held by each countries to paint the truth.
thats another thing
history revisionism, i believe?
Today we think of things that were held dear and were normal 50 years or so ago as reprehensible
like historical misconception during cold war, etc.
But what people always do, and i dont think that will ever go away, is to think that NOW we reached the end point.
no lol
we're not on the end point of history
ofc not
but you even see that with scientific progress
steam engine comes along
universe works like this! we finally know!
