Why is this country so fucking irrelevant?
Indonesia
I don't get it honestly. I've think I've never even heard their language, no music, food, anything. I think they are living good life but hiding themselves from the world.
They don't even talk to other foreigners and form their own cliques here
it's like Zig Forums fags failed hs geography and just heard about us now and got mindfucked so hard they had to make this post the millionth time
Maybe it's like some Freemason thing where they're pressured to hide their culture
>Most famous citizen is some gay rapist
success breed jealousy
I work at a foreign policy think tank with a degree in international relations and I barely know anything about your country lmao
even in Asean you are not that well known though
den u shud know uncle sam shut down the largest non-ruling commie party in the world there
lack of BBC
It's cause they have a small diaspora, no cultural exports, and are poor. At least India has Bollywood or something
I don't even know who the gay rapist is.
t. reynhard
but from what I hear Indonesian diaspora in the west assimilate so well and just assume we're just really cool version of pinoy
So you're jewish?
me
bend over you fat twink mutt
you're shaminy yourself with that statement
no media reports about us, pinoys get attention from media because they're a US colony and a fuck ton of them live there
and you get media attention because you're a sexpat paradise
I thought your dictator did that
>this thread again
>Why is this country so fucking irrelevant?
It was the testing ground for the 20th century.
See "Jakarta Method"
do you want to learn more about Indonesia? I think I can recommend a couple of books you can read so you don't have to make this thread again for the millionth time
probably not the Indongs that I met
en.wikipedia.org
they took this from us
no just whitoid
It's likely language barrier, they might have their own things and don't interact with others on internet. No war/poverty so no media attention as wel.
If they were still hindu/Buddhist the entire country would be a popular tourist destination like Thailand and Bali
that's only in the netherlands and that's only the ones that moved around the time of independence
i think not being well known is great though
like a sleeping giant waiting for an opportunity to wake up and wreck shit
>no poverty
any good books on pre islamic Nusantara? Sri Vijaya and Majapahit?
heh fuck no, we're might gonna be a little bit cleaner version of india
but still a shithole
You're not africa/India tier poor, so noone cares since it's not memeable.
there was already a thread about this today... And probaly the day before this also... and the day before that... etc etc etc... why so many threads with same question about indonesia???
Okay yeah we pulled off a coup, but what did the Indonesians do?
>You're not africa/India tier poor
my turn now, let me tell you about your country...
>Sri Vijaya
idk about their books, but the current princess is a cute loli
you are richer than us though
This is my first thread about Indos but sure
this cunt is neoliberal hellhole without any political identity because of you
>falling for total GDP meme
average thais are literally times richer than average indonesians
I'm not telling you about your country. I'm just saying you don't much attention because you aren't as poor as us or Africa.
Could've been worse, you could've been a stagnated Soviet puppet shithole without any political identity
don't you have the highest hdi after malaysia and singa
>neoliberal hellhole
now it's more like ISIS lite
hell no, our commie is a fucking based trotskyist
I thought they were Stalinists
it is in the same tier as india
most famous citizen is rich chigga who is a chink as the name implies
>average male height 158 cm (5'2)
How do they cope?
idk, I'm 178
The most famous Indonesian is Chinese? Kek what an absolute SEA moment
I don't think I've read any books specifically about pre Islamic Indonesia, but I found this from googling, it might be worth checking out
amazon.com
You can also check out The History of Java if you're interested in Majapahit. It's more general about the island of Java at the time of the writing of the book but iirc it touches on pre Islamic kingdoms as well.
