Indonesia Is Actually Pretty Safe

I've noticed a lot of snobby comments saying how corrupt and what a shithole Indonesia is. Everyone can have their opinion but I'm gonna stick up for my country here. It's does have problems such as corruption, nepotism, flood, idiotic people, etc. However unlike richer western countries despite having many different ethnicity, they aren't forcing their culture of diversity to other people's throats. The people aren't woke. Kids still call each other homo like in the good old days. The movies wasn't a lesbian superhero trans movie like in the West. It was based. A story of as superhero and his alter ego battling the wicked Pengkor and his diabolical squad of orphan assassins. It's safe. Nobody will chop your arm off for your Rolex like in failed state UK. Nobody will home invade you like in the States. Kids play out in the street safely until 11 pm without issue. The women are slim and beautiful. So yes it's a bit poor and kinda run down but overall if I had to choose to live Jakarta or others, I know where I'd go to raise a family and lead a peaceful life. The traffic jams are a balls to deal with though

A long social-media post praises Indonesia as a flawed but relatively safe and traditional place compared with Western countries. The writer contrasts local crime, culture, media and family life with exaggerated stereotypes about the UK and United States, ending with a complaint about Jakarta traffic. The joke comes from the awkward grammar, inflammatory generalizations and increasingly absurd claims, making it useful as a reaction to nationalist or culture-war rants.
