This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Casual little reminder for people unfamiliar with this side of the world, that Indonesia has been engaged in a genocidal invasion of the Papuans for decades now.

Genuinely didn’t know this! Ty for the information :) I’m gonna read up on that now

In the interest of assisting your search, I believe this is in reference to the Papua conflict between Indonesia and the Free Papua Movement, rather than Indonesia invading the country of Papua New Guinea. So other than spillover, it is happening to the west of the border rather than across it
