- not to be a pain in the ass, but who are they to formulate and circulate the demands? itu orang-orang unions, grassroot communities, sama (barf) NGO yang dari awal pasti repot ngurusin beginian pada dikemanain?Last night Jerome, Salsa, Fathia, Abigail, Andovi, and Utami brainstormed via WhatsApp call for 3 hours to formulate the 17+8 People's Demands and ready to circulate. No meetings and long stays at Fairmont Jakarta like the members of the DPR.
- i voted jkw sampe 2019. never regretted it, wong opsi satunya adalah orang yang hari ini kita semua demo. take yang waras buat w cuma: "lib/left indo ga ngebangun significant power base on their own for 10+ years and naively expected things will be ok". di luar itu, shit take.Makin seru aja proxy war di sini๐คฃ
- i'm always fascinated with how "lauk" in both sundanese and malay means "fish" (cmiiw), "iwak" in javanese means both "fish" and "side dish", while "lauk" in indonesian means "side dish". there's some linguistic and (archaeo-)anthropological questions we can ask from that.
- i (genuinely) regret to inform you that surpassing '98 means that we have to invent a new way of relating to the state, of which i doubt we have. we don't even know what are our end goals, let alone imagining a different political order that we can actually do.
- the thing abt soshum is... barrier to entry is nonexistent, but to produce smth good/useful is insanely difficult. as the end products become mostly mid at best, the standards got wrecked as well. therefore, to be awfully honest, i don't blame ppl who think this way.Replying to @gitaputridmost Soshum disciplines adalah ilmu gak terlalu guna yg bisa dipelajari sendiri, lulusan STEM bisa ambil S2 atau S3 soshum, but not vice versa
- Replying to @drearystar_keberatan gw bukan substansi kok. (1) even just summarizing things comes with consequences at this point. (2) if they have the biggest platform, then provide the space to discuss and pass the mic. if you don't see the problem in there, idk what to say.
- bc our so called "kesadaran kelas" is not yet about class. it's "rakyat vs penguasa" lite, which allows essentially oppressive fantasies to persist without ever having to consider our possible complicityโas the blame will always be outsourced to a narrow class of "penguasa".Kita baru belajar untuk sadar kelas. Baru sakit hati ketika kawan kita, yg sedang berjuang ngumpulin recehan, ditabrak dan dilindas penguasa. Baru bertanya2 kenapa kesenjangan sosial dan ekonomi kok besar sekali. Lalu ada seleb nenteng tas 3 milyarโฆ dan kita terpukau lagi ๐ซฃ
- why would anyone write and publish this self-indulgent embarrassment
- Replying to @TirtoIDto ini berita lama ga ditakedown dulu to? tirto.id/sesegar-le-minโฆ
- do share the list of the organizationsโand preferably also their explicit approval of the final statementโthen. i will have no reason to complain by that point.Some clarification to our Twitter friends: - The summary was NOT done in 3 hours and by the people in that phone call only - A dozen of organizations (I can share the list) worked together to come up with that - When I reached out to Andovi and Abigail, they connected this whole
- Replying to @plutoniangoatbringing up ppl's old position soal jkw is the cheapest of cheap shots. "nyesel milih jkw" is useless, karena ya waktu itu ada apa lagi? you're regretting the wrong thing. jkw's boot was an ecological niche that will always be filled, but we did nothing to move on from that.
- which is bleak. criticizing the *implementation* of mbg (incl admitting that we're not ready for the program) without killing the idea is possible, padahal.
