    I linked the fear brought on by a global pandemic to fascism in 2020. Looks like that’s playing out worldwide. I’m sad to say that I feel vindicated.

    For context, the Aceh province is muslim-majority and governed by sharia law (the rest of Indonesia is not governed by sharia law) so logically should have no problem accepting fellow muslim refugees. But turns out they’re not getting along with the locals and often got involved with fights with the locals, leading to complete rejection by Aceh’s citizens these days. The conflicts are getting so bad recently a mob stormed a refugee shelter to force them to relocate.
