Compared with Emacs standards, that indentation is rather dumb...

On the new line, invoke M-x indent-relative RET. I like to use that
in text mode a lot, so I do (define-key text-mode-map (kbd "RET")
'indent-relative) in my ~/.emacs file.
Usually, Emacs does syntax-driven indentation. This means that it
groks the syntax of your programming language and then uses the right
indentation level.
