I did not know this, Indonesia is the world's largest muslim majority country? Time for another deep dive.
Excellent documentary about the legacy of violence in Indonesia https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2375605/?ref_=ext_shr
Oh I watched that, that's actually the first time I learned anything about indonesia, that there was a coup by gangsters. What a startling and troubling doc. And that crazy scene at the end where one of the guys starts to crack while they're making a doc of their crimes? Yeawow.
Only in Lemmy whenever Indonesia mentioned, someone would inevitably post "the act of killing" as if it's still relevant. It's like mentioning Khmer Rouge when someone mention Cambodia. This shit was almost 60 years ago. People who were involved are already dead by now, and Indonesia hasn't been an authoritarian state for almost 30 years now.
