The next post I intended to post is being rejected as "piracy" for some weird reason so I'm linking it here.

if you use a word which can mean either a rushing of water, or a peer-to-peer file sharing tool, your post will get eaten by this filter.

also this is some serious tl;dr shit, someone holler if shit needs banned, as per usual.

it's a region with a long tradition of being fucked up. the only reason i know about any of it is that it has the coolest reptiles on the fucking planet.

the OP's pole is kinda eh. i mean, what do you want? we do business with fucked up people all over the world for a variety of reasons and always have.

I voted no because the poll is one sided towards one political party.

Indonesia is my go-to example for why settlers giving back the land to natives doesn't solve violence.

That being said, America is best off using soft power to address these issues but we have no cred with Trump in office.

Why does the poll only have 1 side? Is this propaganda.

[zoobernut]

Didn't notice the poll. Now that I do calling out one political party when supporting regimes accused of atrocities is a general USA government thing and not isolated to one party is just a stupid way to set up the poll. Nice troll attempt there.

That being said these things are terrible to hear about and real issues that do need to be addressed but never will as long as it is more profitable to turn a blind eye.

I thought it was just a given that the GOP doesn't believe in accountability for ethnic hatred unless it is against whitey

we freed the slaves

Then Nixon took all the Southern descendants of the slave owners into the GOP when they left the Democrats after LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

But seriously given that Obama grew up in Indonesia and didn't muster the political will to do anything about it, the only way the issues of Indonesia get addressed if if it catches fire in popular consciousness the same way that Darfur did in 2005~

However given the way the majority of the US population doesn't even know about what's going on in Yemen, I highly doubt that happens.

They just need to make a Raid movie about it. Indonesian cinema 4 life
