Indonesia does seem to get overlooked on a constant basis. My guess is that it's because it wasn't a US invasion, was largely ignored at the time, and serves no US-positive message. When you talk to a non-lefty and say, "well what about the mass murderers in Indonesia?" they'll rarely have any idea what you're talking about.
I've got a friend whose family fled the genocide in Indonesia after fleeing the genocide in Taiwan and finally got close enough to the center of empire to relatively safe.
She was genuinely surprised that I knew about Indonesia's genocide and even more surprised that I heard about it on Chapo.
No mention of Indonesia
