#WestPapua is #Indonesia and that is final. QUESTION: 1, IS #PNG PART OF INDONESIA? 2, ARE THE PEOPLE OF PNG INDONESIANS? AND IF SO WHY. IF NOT, WHY ARE THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF WEST PAPUA INDONESIANS. AND WHY IS WEST PAPUA PART OF A CLUSTERFUCK OF ISLANDS CALLED INDONESIA

Can anyone explain the story of #NewGuinea, how it was sliced up by the Dutch, British, Germany & how the US and Indonesia, yes #Indonesia (a clusterfuck of islands) fucking up #WestPapua, murdering the black indigenous & plunder natural resources. #Nederland #Netherlands

#WestPapua & #PNG New Guinea: Second biggest island in the world. On both sides of the intl border, the 141st meridian - there is massive destruction of the environment - ancestral homelands of indigenous ppl - continues unabated as international consortiums plunder & pillage

Next time you hear someone bragging about how much 'work' they do in a day/week - you can probably assume they're running on too little sleep and using that as some sort of badge of honour A gentle slap is probably in order to wake them up, and point them in this direction 😉 smv.org/learn/blog/w...

smv.orgWhen Does the Brain Eat Itself? | Blog | Science Museum of VirginiaWe've seen the lack of sleep can cause lots of damage to the human system, but this new discovery is worthy of making it a big deal. After all, how often can we talk about brains being zombies?!

This is actually really cool - instead of bagging out AI for it's obvious faults, someone's being imaginative and working on it's strengths. (thanks TLDR ;-) "The day I taught AI to read code like a Senior Developer Jan 5, 2025" nmn.gl/blog/ai-seni...

#WestPapua is COLONIALISM & NEOCOLONIALISM COLONIALISM is an explicitly violent process of extermination, assimilation, & physical occupation of the lands of another ppl NEOCOLONIALISM is a master of disguise that hides behind the cloak economic development

'Savages' live in relatively stable societies The 'Civilised West' has lived in constant fearful flux of rape and pillage for 10k years - we don't know any different

Consume, consume, populate, populate, consume, populate...... Not getting it yet are we? Style of thing. #palmoil #deforestation #WestPapua

I really suspect that most of the 'oh wikipedia - it's a joke' brigade have never critically used it as a first starting point reference for scientific and real-world info - to be cross-checked. Only to look up celebrity gossip.

This post is unavailable.

And my answer to God... (because I don't like revolutions) - God will have to rewrite the economic rulebook - by using his omnipresent AI-ness to do that - and then zero the accounts of rulebreakers. - No immediate redistribution of wealth needed, just a rule change, with actual rule enforcement.

The consumption to extinction of fossil AND nuclear fuels is INEVITABLE - agnostic of any other variables The lack of embrace for renewables by 'conservative' mentality governments and mindsets has NOTHING to do with reality - it's purely a LACK of IMAGINATION www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12...

abc.net.auFossil fuels are being 'eaten alive' by the solar rushSatellite imagery reveals the staggering rise of solar farms around the world in recent years. Can Australia get on board?

You're not wrong - any mention of West Papua in Aus gets crickets - virtually no-one has a clue about it's real history, here. The real work to free the country is being headed by activists in the UK!!?! Too close to home... again...

History shows that #WestPapua has been a perennial problem for the Australia-Indonesia relationship. It is a constant worry. #AusPol

This pretty much sums up why the battle to restore West Papuan control back to it's indigenous owners is facing such a hurdle with the international, i.e. resource greedy world.

#WestPapua what a charming paradise! look at that delightful invisible layer of blood gracing every corner. It's truly a sight to behold! Who wouldn't want to ignore 500,000 lives lost? It adds character to our lovely soil, doesn’t it? And let’s not forget the delightful influx of orphans & widows

#Netherlands walked away from #WestPapua & letting Indonesia invade a country which they had no connection. The DUTCH were scum in both countries & were thrown out by Japanese from Java & fled their colony just like they did in #Srebrenica & left the population to be slaughtered

From a *long* time ago - as a child - I wondered why the west side of Papua New Guinea was blanked out - It's been in a media blackout *My Entire Life* And now, because a few brave souls finally got the word out, I'm discovering it's been a litany of invasion and genocide. - pester your local pollie

The Morning Star flag, a flag given by the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the people of #WestPapua because the Netherlands promised the West Papuans indepence by 1970. A flag of false hope, broken promises and betray #Nederland #Netherlands ANY EXCUSES @koninklijkhuis.bsky.social ?

#WestPapua is Indonesia’s #Palestine. Until the Papuan people have the opportunity to freely decide whether they want to remain with Indonesia or not, any claims by the Indonesian state that West Papua is a democracy will ring hollow.

The history of #WestPapua centers on #racism, human rights abuses, & the manipulation of the 1969 Act of Free Choice. The American mining company Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE #FCX) has long played a role that has affected conditions for indigenous people in Papua & West Papua provinces

Thought I should post *something* nice... Here's the local duckpond from the lovely swampy side. It got pretty dry last summer, but this is October, after winter mostly filled it up - so happy days! :D

Yes. Indonesians do a great job. The rest of the world need to learn from their superior #deforestation management skills. #palmoil #Indonesia I am 100% sure INDON are fucking proud of this achievement. #ClimateAction #WestPapua

It kind of boggles me how unremarked upon it is that online gambling became such an omnipresent thing. Not trying to judge anyone into it one way or the other, but if you handed me $500 and told me to lose it as quickly as possible, I’m walking out of the nearest LEGO store a very happy man.

1st Dec marks 63 years of raising the flag for West Papuans right to self determination 🇨🇺 People across the world raise the Morning Star flag in support of West Papuans who risk their safety and freedom to fly their flag - who have been arrested and attacked by Indonesia for just doing that.

People always ask where I got my incredibly detailed tattoo done, but they never believe me when I tell them Spain. Nobody expects the Spanish ink precision.
