☭ ☭ ☭ (even tho most of them probably weren’t even Communists) What a spiritual sequel. Sensational pair of docs. I’m sick thinking about Americans watching that news segment and supporting the executioners / runners of concentration camps. Ah yes, and a direct accusation that it had a lot to do with America! Nice lol So crazy that the dude describes the drastic draconian measures to ensure a fascist authoritative state and then talks about how proud they are to be a democracy. Sounds familiar tbh Hilarious that it was / still is popular to shit on intellectuals and *checks notes* farmers for being communists (in Indonesia at least) “I only cut them once each.” “You just said you cut her twice.” “Yeah, it doesn’t matter. They’re bad people. You can hack them up.” Remind me why these dudes are still running things again lol “I was just doing what I was told” is a lot worse defense when you essentially are the top of the command chain The one guy “indirectly” threatening Adi for “secret communist activities” needs to be jailed forever Not quite The Act of Killing but still very, very good! Love that it was co-directed by “Anonymous” (totally fair given, you know, everything about this story) Added to The Non-English Niche
