Imagine being part of a society so backward and morally warped that it would inflict pain on two humans for showing affection to each other. Oh wait my society is like that too.
Yes - much better for the populace to be seeing beatings than… ew …LOVE?!?
WTF? Is the country run by incels?
EDIT: oh, I see - homophobic incels.
Worse, religious fundamentalists.
Genocidal homophobic incel western puppets currently imperializing their neighbors, and were the prototype for America’s anticommunist tactics post-1965.
Right. It’s the West’s fault. Probably converted Christians are secretly in charge there. Certainly no blame due for Arabia.
this occurred in Aceh which is a gigantic island, but it’s known as the “crazy muslim conservative island”. They’re locally governed and don’t represent Indonesia as a whole.
Yes, it was the US who worked to isolate the democratically elected leftist government, while supplying arms, intelligence, and diplomatic support to the coup who overthrew the leftist government then murdered anyone insufficiently religious, rightwing, and conservative.
If the book on how this incident was a template for future US policy was too much reading, here’s a wikipedia article.
Corporal punishment cures cooties !
I mean thats genuinely the least fucked up thing the Indonesian state is doing, look up west papua.
I read that as canned and was confused as to why they were turned into produce.
They were put there by a man,
In a factory downtownnnn
I thought they were fired
Religion is social cancer
Barbarians.
How DARE you be in love and show your happiness towards another person that loves you too! That’s a TERRIBLE thing, didn’t you know???
😠
Recently watched https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Act_of_Killing so no longer suprised by anything happening in Indonesia. 💀
The Author’s surname is Oppenheimer. Just found that mildly interesting.
Don’t give trump any ideas.
It’s already in motion, we may not have public caning for a few more years but we will have a whole new ripe population segment to fill our for-profit prison industry!
After that, they will go after interracial marriages under the guise of “stopping foreign terrorists from becoming citizens through marriage” and require all marriage licenses to specify the races of the couple for a registered database. And at this point, I will be yelling at people on forums and social media saying “Don’t you see what they’re doing??” and will be called “reactionary” and “fearmongering” kind of like when I said they were going to end legal abortion and start rounding up non-whites for concentration camps and that they will deploy the military to the cities of political opponents.
Isn’t it already on the chopping block as per p25?
They spent about on hour on the tower of power
this happens so often in Aceh that it’s not even noteworthy at this point
The moral here is not to do public bathroom hookups in Indonesia.

I think you might want to clarify your conclusion drawn from this, it is currently open to some rather unfortunate interpretation.
People are just being dense turds. That also is pretty clearly differentiating the second statement from the first.
If you’re not sure what he meant, then don’t go into full attack mode like some of these commenters.
Oops yeah
I honestly cannot think of an interpretation of this other than “same sex is not wholesome”.
I wondered where they are because they are usually included in this kind of games. It’s not my mother tongue.
“Wholesome” defined as “relationships I understand and am comfortable with.” Grow the fuck up. The horrors of people being different than you! It’ll destroy your life!
That’s absolutely not what I meant, sorry for offending. See my other comment.
Sorry, but I still don’t understand what you supposedly meant. Your sentence structure and choice of words were perfect English, so there was no indication that there might be a language issue here.
You must feel SO safe and comforted right now 🥰🦄
No I feel misunderstood, but it’s my fault I wasn’t paying attention.
