  • No, no one should apologize for speaking out the truth

It is like asking is it wrong to call the white color white.
Be honest. I am poor, and I call myself poor, because I am poor.
Political correctness? Telling something different than the truth, so lying?
Nothing (no one's financial situation) is going to change, if you lie.
Lying is not good and does not solve anything.
But it is also not good to call an entire country poor, because there could be people with proper financial background, or even wealthy/rich people anywhere, so i understand the massive street demonstration of the Indonesian drivers grouped under the Two-Wheel Action Movement (Garda) at some level.
