And I've asked the embassy a couple of different times too, because the Chief Consular Officer has changed three or four times in as many years, so each departing chief has learned less and less from their predecessor, and has had less and less of an opportunity to understand everything going on in the country, and therefore been less and less equipped to effectively train their successor. Tiff if normally a position that is held for many years so that they really understand the country and it's laws, procedures, and even language and culture. But I suppose given the circumstances the i position has become a bit of a nightmare to hold that position - it's also responsible for conducting final interviews for Myanmar people seeking visas to the US, which is just about half the country right now.

Cell phones were like a vanity for the rich to show off. Internet was unheard of. Then came the democracy (kind of), and every aspect of our lives got better for like 10 years just before the 2021 coup. Now, full-blown civil war is brewing and it feels like our lives are regressing. It sucks to be born in this country.

[@jessegriffin9]

I'm surprised at Johnny's ability to explain Rohingya genocide accurately. For those who wonder, the only reason military did this is it needed support from the people especially from Buddhists because at that time, people started experiencing democracy, using internet and saying how corrupt, greedy and cruel the military junta is. And military achieved its goal, but elected govt closed its eyes to the atrocities because the amount of misinformation and people's hatred to Rohingya was too strong at that time. Junta have erased Rohingya from the list of Myanmar ethnic group since 1980 so almost everyone here hadn't heard of Rohingya until 2017. All we knew at the time is they were a few thousands of Bengali people from Bangladesh who was trying to invade Myanmar. Facebook absented to stop hatred and misinformation, and still fail to perform. May be I am in denial, but I wouldn't entirely lay all the the blame on Facebook. it's the sum of paranoia, lack of ability to find information, poverty and negligence of the people. It's a slap in the face to Myanmar and her people and I am very ashamed of it. Now we are trying to eliminate military and start winning.

[@ErikBerg666]

Please do more research on attrocities committed by the Rakine muslim population on the peaceful Buddhist people over decade leading to the genocide. Yes, Myanmar military is wrong, but don't try to whitewash and absolve the common muslim population of Rakine as if they were saints. The Muslim population have a problem called Islam, which activily discourage them to assimilate or co-exist with other religious people who are non-Muslim. See the daily issues cropping up in Europe i. e. France, Sweden etc. Where Islamic radicals are committing 'Jihad' on daily basis and so called common Muslims support or sympathise with extremist element in them even if they don't actively parcipate in extremist activity. Why Poland never report Of Islamic extremism attack because they don't take Muslim refugee, Simple. The problem with Liberal mind like ke you is you all take a idealistic position and start preaching. World is not ideal and pragmatic argument should be made, unless you talk about the issues within the Muslim society and Islam in general, you are not addressing the crux of issue. Liberals self-censor themselves thinking that if they talk about issues with Islam or Muslim society then they will be labeled Islamophobe. So much talk about free speech but all you Liberals do is provide sympathies, not the actual solution to the problem.

This is what irk me, unless we don't feel brave enough to talk on all issues and protect one issue in whatever false sense of "right thing to do" we will never be able to provide a true sustained solution to the problems. It is very wrong notion that poverty or lack of education fuel radicalization. Osama bin Laden was an engineer, Abu Bakar Al-Bagdadi was a PHD scholar, many radicals who went from Europe to join ISIS were very affluent and well educated. Islam teaching have very real problematic things and proudly practiced by majority muslims.

I sincerely appreciate your invaluable contribution of information. Burmanization has left a lasting impact in Myanmar, where a significant portion of the population remains influenced by the military dictatorship, even in the wake of the 2021 military coup. It's encouraging to see that minority communities, such as the Rohingya and ourselves (ethnic minority groups), are standing resilient in our quest to safeguard our identities and resist military oppression. Recognizing the extent to which we've been subjected to decades of military indoctrination, we're taking a strong stance to break free from these chains and strive for a more inclusive and democratic Myanmar. but it's hard to achieve democratic Myanmar unless everyone in Myanmar know the truth.

​​​@@ErikBerg666 Hmm.. I don't know about the Rakine Muslim or why you stated that, like kind of a sect yeah? But lemme break it down for you about "The Islam phobic" thing is. The problem lies within Islam is pure ignorance. The mentioning of Muslim is also pure ignorance. The mentioning of Jihad is also pure ignorance. The mention of "only" Myanmar military or such is also ignorance. The mentioning of other countries and justified the Islam and Muslim is pure ignorance. You can addressed them as terriost if they're not "within" the terms of Islamic Jihad/the Rule of Jihad. Putting this aside in this case, which I needed to learn more about Rakine Muslim and the mentioning of killing innocent people. I can claim you're pretty ignorance of Islam religion and Muslims people. My breaking down point is simple. You can't justified the terrorist with another terrorism. For example. ISIS etc etc with majority of Islam. Otherwise 969 movement which emerge from the Buddhism can be considered the buddhist religion is terrorist. You can't claim something they're bad when you don't know them. In my Case Islam and Muslim. In your case, Social Media. If you want to compare the terriosm you should know where it all started, which completely going to break down your argument. But terrorism is terrorism. All in all they're bad no matter where it started or how. And I think you're being influenced by the western media/social media. And you think you can talk about how they called you "Islam phobic" if you talk about how Islam is this or that, or free speech is concern, there's no perspective of Muslims free speech otherwise all the western propaganda would be as clear as days. Don't be an ignorance/typical woke person. Don't be an arrogant/hated person. Learn more about Jihad if you want to talk about this particular subject. Your right is my left when we're facing each other Only by coming together the differences, you can see the right from both angle as well as left. Just a little piece of advice.

It is Sunnat for every muslim to follow the words of Prophet Muhammad as he is Uswa Hasana and al-Insaan al-Kamil. You will not be able to provide me references from Buddisht scripture to justify that extremism stems from that, a Buddisht extremist is an individual call but an Islamic extremist is coming from Islam itself. Genocide is definitely wrong. There is problem at Myanmar military side, we should talk about it, but please don't cover up or brush aside the problem of other side which is religiously motivated and supremacist ideology called Islam. This is what irk me, unless we don't feel brave enough to talk on all issues and protect one issue in whatever false sense of "right thing to do" we will never be able to provide a true sustained solution to the problems. It is very wrong notion that poverty or lack of education fuel radicalization. Osama bin Laden was an engineer, Abu Bakar Al-Bagdadi was a PHD scholar, many radicals who went from Europe to join ISIS were very affluent and well educated.

Many Hindus see the Buddha as a reincarnation of some god or another….and Jains are notable for how their monks wear face masks and carry brooms to sweep the ground in front of them to prevent themselves from harming even the smallest insect.

Thank you for highlighting this; excellent journalism. The issue was previously discussed on Last Week Tonight. In countries with large populations, such as Bangladesh, Facebook can be extremely dangerous. We've witnessed numerous incidents, both good and bad, triggered by Facebook, like the recent Durga Puja event. We need more robust solutions rather than solely relying on foreign corporations. Some initial solutions could be: 1. Fact-checking the most shared or linked posts. 2. Engaging the local community in fact-checking, as they better understand the context, and rewarding them for their efforts. 3. Local fact-checkers could escalate dangerous posts for further scrutiny. 4. Prioritizing fact-checks and community feedback in UI so they don't get lost, unlike comments that vanish when people start sharing them. 5. Allow individuals to rate the level of danger associated with posts.

[@topherno]

Exactly. However, those suggested solutions are great in theory though difficult in practice. For one, people are not necessarily interested in facts just b/c they're locals, even if they understand the context better. I'm just thinking e.g. how many in the US are woefully (and often proudly) misinformed on various domestic (local) issues.

Rohingyas are not angels. They started attacking, burning and raping women first. But since Myanmar is the majority and the military backs its citizen. Ofcourse the Rohingyas lost in the end.

[@CrimsonAlchemist]

@@kayceecheang2726 Alot of information seems to be left out. He doesn't show the date of those monk videos, they were made after the conflicts. The Rohingya conflict started with the rape & murder of Ma Thida Htwe by three Rohingya men in 2012, followed up on 3 June Myanmar mob attacked a bus in Taungup that killed 10 Rohingya men. On 8 June exactly 3:50 pm after Friday prayers, thousands of Rohingya Muslims flooded the streets in Rakhine state, and started attacking and burning buildings. On 9th June the riot spread and the entire country got wind of it. (WHY DID HE LEAVE THIS CRUCIAL INFORMATION OUT)??? On 10 June, a state of emergency was declared across Rakhine. By then all hell had broken loose, but in the end, Rohingyas were pushed back since the country is Myanmar's majority, and the military sided with the obvious. He made it sound like only one-sided needed to be blamed and the monk as well. Also Facebook, KZbinrs also block comments or posts that show facts that Rohingyas weren't exactly the victims. The information got blocked by Facebook & KZbin showing violence from both sides. I'm disappointed he wasn't able to dig deep enough and show both sides of the conflict. Why did he purposely leave out the atrocities done by ARSA (Armed wing of Rohingya), they even massacred hundreds of Indian background Hindus which was reported by Amnesty International and all over the news. They had nothing to do with Myanmar locals or the Myanmar military. Yet ARSA still slaughtered them. If anything i said is untrue, please let me know. I'm happy to provide evidence.

[@dafinakrasniqi1856]

Great work Johnny! Keep up with your incredible work and brining light to these cases. This truly is a heartbreaking story 😔

[@BluEyedRaven]

This video was incredible! But also, VERY alarming. My dad uses Facebook as his primary source of information and the algorithm gives him more and more "news" which are claims by random people on the internet, with of course, lack of any proof. I don't know if it's age or education, but he believes everything he reads and I have a tough time explaining that what is being said online isn't true. The problem with all of this is that many people just like my dad (both old and young) fall into the same category. It's easier than ever to manipulate the masses, yet nobody seems to realize it.

[@SianaGearz]

Mhm critical thinking is an essential skill. Traditional media has a quality and truthfulness problem as well, in part because it must reproduce the statements of politicians and various interest groups as they are, in part due to individual mistakes and biases of the people involved. But of course a random dude on the Internet is fundamentally so so much worse. Age? I suppose so, particularly people gain deeply ingrained beliefs with time that will never ever be questioned, and they can be hijacked. You can be told a truth, or something you believe to be the truth, and then chained a series of ever progressively more corrupt payloads to it. Though this has a scary efficiency with young people as well, but after a couple years they generally begin to question the foundations of their belief framework.

[@BluEyedRaven]

​@@SianaGearz Love the answer! But in both cases... are we doomed? Basically, older people have a concrete understanding of things so it's either they fully agree or completely disagree, and younger people don't have enough information to confirm whether something is true or not. If there was a way to do it, how would we challenge society as a whole to think critically about future events?

[@SianaGearz]

@@BluEyedRaven hey I'm struggling myself to keep an open mind, but not so open that the brain falls out! I'm not equipped to cure society. But I think people can be reached with counter arguments. It takes numerous tries and is very risky. And with old people you have to start dismantling them from the middle or the end not from the foundation. Even if the foundation might not change substantially, a lot of the garbage tacked on top can. Myself being an Ashkenazic Jew of Bulgarian ancestry, citizen of Ukraine, living in EU for most of my life, originally from the East of Ukraine, Russian speaking, you might imagine that well uhh I've seen people harbor harmful beliefs and I've seen people change their minds, the whole Russia Ukraine Israel Palestine Gaza and Balkan (Serbia Bosnia Albania etc) are just ever present topics.

The indifference shown towards the Rohingya people by the broader Burmese population, myself included, created an opening for the military to orchestrate a coup, leading to widespread suffering throughout the entire country. We can only hope that our neighbors and individuals across the region learn from our situation, as well as from the injustices in the Middle East, and raise their voices against such wrongdoings and hold those responsible accountable.

This exact same thing has been happening in India as well. People on social media is being flooded with either hinduphobic and Islamophobic (if they are Muslims and Hindus respectively). If their is even a small occurrence of violence within ethenic groups, fake news starts immediately causing more violence on both sides (as seen with Meitei and Kuki tribes during violence in Manipur, one of the Indian states). There is all sorts of extremist ideologies which undermine secularism all together. One demanding Gazwa-e-hind (Islamic India) or Hindu rashtra (Hindu India). Then there is politics being played on these issues. Which divides religions, ethenicities, casts, and others sects of people. Intellectual thoughts are undermined with stupid words naming and classifying people based on ideologies all the while media actively adds on to narratives instead of talking about unemployment or poverty. All is not bad in India. We still are a democratic country and we wish for a bright, better and a unified future ❤️

[@kavishbansal]

and the current government (BJP) is also helping fuel this even more to sow more division among Hindus. Only if Facebook and other big social platforms were forced to moderate misinformation more strictly. But we all know Modi wouldn't want that.

​@@kavishbansalToo much of appeasement politics and treating Hindus as second class citizens is also the result of this division. That's the reason someone like Modi came to power. Not like Modi is doing anything special for the Hindus but that's about it. All major terror attacks in this country happened before Modi came to power including numerous riots. But you all were oblivious to it since there was no social media. People always had this resentment but it is showing its true colours in the age of social media.

[@utkarshagarwal01]

@@Dr.SyedSaifAbbasNaqvi Interesting take 👍🏻. But I think in a country where 80% of the citizens are of one group and regular elections are carried out, it is almost impossible for any government to treat them as "second class citizens".

Please do more research on attrocities committed by the Rakine muslim population on the peaceful Buddhist people over decade leading to the genocide. Yes, Myanmar military is wrong, but don't try to whitewash and absolve the common muslim population of Rakine as if they were saints. The Muslim population have a problem called Islam, which activily discourage them to assimilate or co-exist with other religious people who are non-Muslim. See the daily issues cropping up in Europe i. e. France, Sweden etc. Where Islamic radicals are committing 'Jihad' on daily basis and so called common Muslims support or sympathise with extremist element in them even if they don't actively parcipate in extremist activity. Why Poland never report Of Islamic extremism attack because they don't take Muslim refugee, Simple. The problem with Liberal mind like ke you is you all take a idealistic position and start preaching. World is not ideal and pragmatic argument should be made, unless you talk about the issues within the Muslim society and Islam in general, you are not addressing the crux of issue. Liberals self-censor themselves thinking that if they talk about issues with Islam or Muslim society then they will be labeled Islamophobe. So much talk about free speech but all you Liberals do is provide sympathies, not the actual solution to the problem.
