ye man i cant really imagine how that is
i only heard stuff like that from my grandparents
there were riots, rapes and lootings in the capital as the regime changed.
it was a rather tense situation
especially when there were insurrections and racial civil wars that erupted
oh yeah i know about that
like the massacre of sampit, where maduranese were persecuted by borneo-born dayaks; Ambon civil war, where christians and muslims fought a bloody civil war; Rise of GAM (aceh freedom movement); rise of OPM (free papua organisation); etc.
and the advent of 9/11 also resulted in the rise of wahhabists and religious extremists who were heavily suppressed during the authoritarian regime
nice
we got a party here now called "islam"
and everyone was hysterical about it when it popped up
eh.... we've always had an islamic party in Indonesia. heck, even before it was called Indonesia
We dont
😄
when it was still called Dutch East Indies
the "conservative" islamists party had mostly been moderate here
Unlike our friend at the party "islam"
heck, they literally just banned a wahhabist movement.
yeah this islam party we got here is not wahabist
I always compare it to what the christian party wouldve said 2-300 years ago
since the islamic saints in Indonesia was told to have used shadow puppet theatre and epic drawings to spread their religion
heck, most muslim here never thought of visiting buddhist or hindu temples of old as something sacrilegious
they just think of it as it's part of the culture
over here theyre becoming more conservative then certain countries in the middle east are, at least when it comes to day to day life.
Which i find strange
or maybe its not that strange given what has been done in the past 30 years
tbh, I was extremely worried when tim posted the anti-islam persecution by the CCP since wow.... if that made a national news here... I can only feel dread on the consequences
while his comments on that vid was filled with people exclaiming that they agree with the news.
im not following
i dont think ive seen that video
that one
Ok just read the first bunch of comments
when I saw that, I was immediately horrified
See thats what you get
When you do not adress reality and the issues
and instead decide to sweep it under the rug and call everyone racist
then that festers and festers
and then you get this
yeah
