    Excellent article about growing up as a mixed kid in Indonesia

    It says in the video description she lives in her husband's village, so presumably a spouse KITAS or KITAP. Why?

    Land ownership and registration certificate

    No, not 'full' ownership known as Hak Milik. That appears to simply be a change that KITAS and KITAP are no longer required, only a passport. Foreigners may have Hak Milik of an apartment in a multi story building (which has no ownership of the land beneath it). Foreigners may have Hak Pakai...

    Trump Indicted for Conspiracy To Change the 2020 Election

    They are deeply intertwined, with a lot of racism at the heart of systemic economic oppression. From slavery to red-lining as big, obvious, formal systems, and continuing into the modern day with more subtlety, like in the sources I just provided.

    I agree, which is why I cited sources, something I don't see you doing.

    Trump Indicted for Conspiracy To Change the 2020 Election

    Do you think most on "the left" in America don't acknowledge problems in the black community? I disagree. But, it's like a principal having a bully in their office, who then breaks down crying explaining the abuse they receive at home. It doesn't excuse their actions, and some consequences...

    Trump Indicted for Conspiracy To Change the 2020 Election

    That is utter BS, you are citing crimes convicted not crimes committed, no one knows accurately the true numbers committed because blacks are 7 times more likely to be falsely convicted (source). and black neighborhoods are disproportionately policed causing higher percentage of crimes committed...

    Trump Indicted for Conspiracy To Change the 2020 Election

    Of course it is not that simple, but the causes still come back to systemic racism. Would the judge have issued that no-knock warrant for Breonna Taylor's apartment without triple-checking every detail if it were an address in a "rich white neighborhood"? I think not. Police are allowed to...

    Trump Indicted for Conspiracy To Change the 2020 Election

    Tamir Rice, Breonna Taylor, John Crawford, Daniel Shaver, Andre Hill, Atatiana Jefferson. The list is huge of unarmed black people killed by police in America: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unarmed_African_Americans_killed_by_law_enforcement_officers_in_the_United_States Many of those...

    Trump Indicted for Conspiracy To Change the 2020 Election

    You are confusing Trayvon Martin who was killed by a vigilante wannabe-cop with George Floyd who was killed by uniformed police. Not being a "model citizen" and even resisting is hardly an excuse for 9+ minutes of lethal pressure applied to the neck. Which is why he's in prison convicted on...

    Trump Indicted for Conspiracy To Change the 2020 Election

    This is simply not true, there is a whole subsection of the indictment from page 39 to 42 titled "The Defendant’s Exploitation of the Violence and Chaos at the Capitol". But otherwise I agree.

    Indonesia's Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway launched.

    They built the airport of a tourist destination at a literal bottleneck of an island, with the largest city between the airport and the majority of tourist destinations. Who could have predicted this would be a problem?? An LRT from the airport to Canggu, Sanur, and Ubud would be a great...

    The practice test to get a driving licence. If you pass you could become a circus performer !!!

    @pantaiema The GDP per capita at the bottom plainly shows one of the start differences. Another being that Japan is a smaller country than Indonesia and has extensive and efficient public transit. The USA has double the GDP per capita as Japan, but is a large country without good public...

    159 countries lost visa free access to Indonesia

    Sorry, I wasn't very clear, he was saying that Australia (and others) requires visas for all visitors including visitors from Germany and US.
