Breaking: Imagine Being Indonesian

living in my home country is kind of excruciating lately.

Recently I felt horrible about the republic. If you’re Indonesian, you must’ve felt the same. Every day you woke up and the news keeps on annoying and depressing for more and more and more.

While you listening to what happened, you know what ACTUALLY happens is nothing like what the media brings to you. Apparently, we’re just contributing to the impression, clicks, and insights, but nothing’s really solved as feedback for us. I don't really acknowledge if such ‘bad’ news can bring you the real news.

It’s like false claims happen everywhere. All the evidence out there getting rejected — while people keep on accepting what they think that's fit their opinion, no matter if it’s true or not. Sadly, the government is the ‘one’ who disseminate these methods deeply to us without making noises.

Poorly Informed, Upscale Emotion

We’re in a gulag. Even though in the recent past, the same exact circumstances were turned up another revolution inside the government, I don't think it would happen repeatedly in the near future.

Simply because today we’re disintegrated.
