Don't glamorize Bali. Don't glamorize a place so poor that its citizens heavily rely on tourism, foreign investors & rich expats. Don't glamorize being "one with nature" on some spiritual healing bs in a country that murders Indigenous people because it wants their lands.

Like America wasn’t founded that same way? They raped & pillaged Indigenous people and created a new race Mexicans. Check your history just google it.

In case you misinterpret, I'm an Indigenous person living in a territory occupied by the US. I don't consider myself American. I highly recommend you read this book too if you want more resources on Native Americans.pic.twitter.com/haahTCW2tJ
