Conservatism is a global plague of oppression and death. I hope Malaysians are one day able to cure their deadly infection.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

What the fuck. Do they do this with all rainbow clothing?
Yes, colours are outlawed in Malaysia now.
Seriously I wouldn't be suprised.
TFW you find out that Ian Miles Cheong is just an average Malaysian, no wonder why that guy is such a Nazi bootlicking asshole.
Average earthling. The majority of the planet is pretty conservative and bigoted and always has been. We are only hearing these bigots now because many developing nations have finally reached the second or third stage of the Maslow pyramid. Before they were too busy putting food on the table to worry about queer people.
The fact that over 50% of the population of the world has gone through or attempted progressive revolutions with the support of the majority of the populations within each revolting country in just the last century disagrees with you. Malaysia itself attempted to have a progressive revolution, and it was western meddling that overthrew the progressives in favor of hardline militant religious nuts.
That's how things are in so many countries unfortunately. Many people in the west tend to lose sight of that. I live in Morocco and we are struggling to just change the status of premarital sex. In the law you can get jail if you are caught having sex with your gf if you are not married. This law is rarely applied but it remains as a looming threat. The issue is that many people are in favor of that law and think the state should punish those who have premarital sex. This is sadly the case with many progressive laws and ideas. The majority of people in these countries are supportive of these conservative laws. It's not just a top down thing from a government, which makes it much more complicated.
Another shitty country on my list where I'll avoid to travel to. Thanks for the hint.
Singapore recently made it onto my list too.
What happened? Did they finally introduce death penalty for smoking in public?
I posted it recently on news, they executed a woman for drug smuggling.
Literally 1984
Such fragile little snowflakes...
Imagine being offended by the type of watch someone is wearing.
Malaysia is a retard, god forsaken country.
