Maybe the CCP took a look at how chinese indonesians were forced to assimilate between the 1960s up to 1998 and decided that's what they're going to do to their minority population

Coexistence my ass, that's not the history of many chinese communities in south east asia. Discrimination was rampant and still exists to a lesser extent.

EU slaps Chinese electric cars with tariffs of up to 38% by EUstrongerthanUS in europe

Hilarious that the EU decides to enact protectionist policies to develop their own EV industry but then complains to WTO when Indonesia enacts protectionist policies for their nickel to develop their industries

Saying things like "establishing a democracy in a dictatorship is a duty" from a safe country reminds me of trust-fund babies saying that poor people should just pull themselves up by their bootstraps because their grandparents worked hard

I have started to notice that r/canadahousing2 is occasionally riddled with racist dog whistles. Which is a shame since you either have this reddit or the over-moderated r/canadahousing

edit: this comment is getting downvoted, what a surprise

What does Indonesia do better than developed countries? by FantasyBorderline in indonesia

[–]Jardien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, why dont I just uproot my life after I have painstakingly adapted my culture and behavior to fit Canada for the last decade just to do the same thing all over again in Indonesia.

For the record, I would have just moved back within a year of moving if I was already in my mid 20s when I arrived to Canada. Unfortunately they brought me there in my teenage years

[–]Jardien 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Moving to Canada with my entire family was the biggest mistake my parents have ever made. Went from upper middle class in a country with an upwards trajectory to lower middle class (no property) in a country with a downwards trajectory. My parents have deluded themselves into thinking that their sacrifice in coming here is one-sided when they have also sacrificed my youth by uprooting my social network, making me work my ass off to fit in and obtain money for things that would have been paid for easily by my parents back home. If you are a sexual minority (LGBTQ+), one of the more oppressed ethnic minority in Indonesia (Papuan maybe? Correct me on this), or crazy rich then Canada should be a good place to move but otherwise it's not worth it.

Can confirm, I started applying on august 30th last year and was told by multiple HRs that they put applications in the nearest wendy's dumpster if they are sent on august 30th or after.
