What topic could you give a 20-minute presentation on without any preparation?

@BlueVeins 🤓 how come?

@Portia I've accumulated a lot of knowledge about the Cold War over the years simply because it's a fascintinating subject that's really informative to research. So much mind games, spy shit, scientific fuckery, etcetera.

@BlueVeins interesting! not many young people nowadays do that you know

@BlueVeins And poker bluffs!!

@sarabee1995 And violent rampages, sometimes based off of movies!

@BlueVeins I'm afraid I'm not getting the reference??

@sarabee1995 Indonesian gangsters orchestrated a mass-killing of suspected Communists with CIA support in the '60s, wherein they emulated the style, if you will, of their favorite gangster movies. The guys who did it were never prosecuted, being on the winning side of the conflict and all, and a documentary on the subject was made on 2012.

It wasn't a normal documentary at all though. A camera crew just went to Indonesia, talked to the free men who did this stuff, and had them REENACT THE MURDERS. The killers were super proud of the stuff they did, thought of themselves like action heroes, and they would just fucking brag about it for as long as you would let them.

You can read about the massacres and the film here. It's such a darkly interesting topic; blows my mind that it's not discussed more.
