I’m reporting you to the MODS
my understanding has always been that Singapore is very strict when it comes to bringing foreign political issues into public events
that’s why I decided to report it and let authorities decide whether anything was wrong
“I’m just a smol bean harmlessly trying to make sure authorities are okay with this”
Coward who can’t even admit they’re personally upset about this
I follow the RULES, rules are APOLITICAL, I have NO opinion of my own!
The sidebar of this subreddit:
Welcome to r/SingaporeRaw Community. Public speech in Singapore is heavily regulated. r/SingaporeRaw is a safe haven for Redditporeans to share and post freely without fear of censorship.
Feel free to share your thoughts, experiences, and opinions here, and we hope you have a good time !
OP went to an anti-censorship subreddit to complain that their snitching app didn’t let them try to censor the band at a concert they paid for and went to.
(also rule 1)
Any sort of “real-” or “raw-” or “true-” version of a subreddit is just the even more nazi version of that sub
I knew this rule for “true” but didn’t realize “raw” was another variant of the pattern
People started to catch on so they had to switch up the dogwhistle.
I have had extremely limited contact with reddit over the last couple years
the exception is of course the “MoreTankie-” prefix
Honestly it depends
Moretankiedeprogram got took over by patsocs for like a month, they’re gone now tho
One of the comments:
Not cool, i mean, i kinda agree w the free palestine agenda but wtf theres a reason we re deliberately agnostic here. Many kids kana radicalised online liao, if we dont fan the fire so much, we actually become safer so to speak.
Irresponsible fucks.
WTF, how much of a fucking bootlicker can you be? “Sure I know they’re doing a genocide, but that doesn’t mean you should be able to say so!”
Thanks for sharing the link. OP probably did this in the less moderated sub because Israel/Palestine topic is an instant deletion on /r/singapore. Things are a bit awkward, 15% of Singapore is Muslim and of Malay heritage, not to mention the people who are not Malay nor Muslim who are against genocide. The Singapore economy relies heavily on these people to do many critical manual labors and work in medical industry as nurses. However, Singapore is Isn’t-real no.1 ally in Asia for sharing techs, defense, and engineering. They also help launder/act as shell to Israeli corporations so they can do business in countries that are more antagonistic against Israel like Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, etc.
Singapore ain’t got the international chops to arrest or do anything serious to international British hip hop band who’s been around since the 90s and well known for their political stances. It would be a PR disaster. What OP did is ratfucking their fellow Singapore citizens who are organizers of the event.
A Reddit link was detected in your comment. Here are links to the same location on alternative frontends that protect your privacy.
There is a non-zero chance that Massive Attack had prepared some sort of surveilance jamming system at their concert. They are exactly those sort of hipsters.
Based on those comments I think Singapore citizens deserves to be thrown into gulags.
There are some pro-Palestine posts as well, we can allow these people to run the gulag and re-education camp
Some.
My impression is that it’s like someone copy pasted the UK to a different region.
The country would be much more prosperous if they pivoted into socialism, a lot of the infrastructure is already there, but it’s used to suppress people… instead of uplifting them. Maybe the more stronger China gets eventually it’ll happen
Singapore looks great from the outside, high GDP, high GDP per capita, great healthcare, education, their high schoolers consistently ranked top in math and science, etc. but demographically the country is screwed. Something like 40% of people living in Singapore are noncitizens, they are padding both the bottom and top society with noncitizens. These include almost slave labor underclass who work in manual labor jobs, construction, and service industry (including medical service) as well as really rich expats and white collars criminals from all over the world who use Singapore as tax haven. 0 capital gain tax, low corporate tax, and zero organized labor union.
Singapore basically sold their nation to capitalism for 50 years of line continuously go up. The middle class in Singapore is currently facing wage stagnation, aging population burden, cost of living affordability issues, as well as severe burnt out from the rat-race (which started in elementary school in Singapore). They are consistently the most depressed country, the country with lowest reported work-related happiness and satisfaction in SEA. Mom and pops storefronts are all closing due to aging population and being outcompeted by international brands, this includes mom and pops traditional ethnic Chinese (Hainese, Hokkien, Teochew), Malay, and South Indian food stalls (including multi-way fusion between all these cuisines from 200 years of being a port city), which is the only semblance of “cultural heritage” they have left as a nation.

Feels like reading about ancient Mediterranian city-states.
I’m glad you point this out and I should have been more critical in what I was trying to convey, because I just have a bad habit of assuming people already know. These capitalists exploiting the workers will not have a change of heart and there is almost 0 chance they will suddenly decide to treat workers with dignity. I also can’t advise on how I would envision a revolution, but neither can I see it sustaining itself, because all they’re doing is accelerating contradictions. Only slowing down for the sake of self-preservation, if at all.
Living in a micro fascist state myself I can only imagine how much worse workers have it in Singapore, because at least here we have the lingering post-soviet culture. Neoliberalism really is such a trash heap of a model for exitance.
look, I might have to redirect my upcoming shipping contracts away from the beautiful nation state of singapore if certain local denizens are so hasty to increase bureaucracy by unnecessarily involving the authorities in the general course of business
I have some ideas about what they can do but we have rules against saying stuff like that
We’re not allowed to tell people to join the IDF unpaid volunteer online poster program?
I was curious about how recent this was and if they’re touring. Turns out there in my country soon so I bought tickets. Thanks for the post, I love massive attack.
Just curious what everyone else thinks I should do.
Shut the fuck up.
Real life equivalent of RDM! RDM! RDM!
Singaporean mods are gonna drag the ban to a sit for this one.
as if i needed more reason to love massive attack
