President Prabowo Subianto of Indonesia said on Sunday that the country’s House of Representatives had agreed to some policy changes that protesters across the country had been demanding over a week of demonstrations.
Thousands of protesters in several major Indonesian cities have been rallying since Monday in response to the country’s increasing cost of living and rising unemployment rate. Demonstrators demanded that the government cancel the high monthly housing allowances that lawmakers received, which many in the country see as lavish.
Mr. Prabowo’s announcement came after rioters on Sunday directed their rage at the homes of lawmakers and government officials, ransacking, vandalizing and looting the properties.
I’m not an expert in Indonesian politics, but it is kind of funny. A month ago, the only reason the protesters made international news was they adapted the One Piece pirate flag. Now they came true with their promise, looted the houses of lawmakers lol, and the ruling class was immediately rattled. If only we could loot Nancy Pelosi’s ice cream fridge
why do you expect a random-ass foreigner on hexbear to do your homework for you? these are questions that require careful thinking by people who have direct experience with the conditions in question. you won’t find a good answer to any of these questions on the internet. organize. please.
Precisely, which is why I find xiaohongshu’s takes on the subject inappropriate and without basis
I don’t pretend to have all the answers to those questions, but I know enough to realize vagueposting about Mao online doesn’t come close to the answer
lmao I know no one on this site is talking up to me about organizing considering the insults and bullshit I’ve gotten over it
you won’t find the answers to those questions in an electoral campaign either. i find zohran charismatic too but come on. i dont know why you’re getting so defensive over XHS’s largely correct basic analysis
You sure about that, a socialist becoming mayor of New York sounds a path toward an answer to me
Correct? No.
Basic? Absolutely.
in what way and by what method?
if you don’t see the rampant treatlerism in even the left in the west idk what to say
