I hope I’m wrong on the latter but otherwise oof

So far a delivery driver ran over by cops during protest, leading to more riots, especially where gov’t building was set on fire and 3 died. There was also one where local politician’s house was ransacked

All because of what - increased taxes and increased politician allowances 10x min wage (edit: austerity) https://www.reddit.com/r/TheDeprogram/comments/1n4lf2e/tldr_of_whats_happening_in_indonesia/

Maybe perhaps the fact that Prabowo is def an Old Guard remnant from anti com Suharto days is something

On the other hand, Chinese BRI plans were in the making there, and the protests don’t have any clear leadership so… Potential to be hijacked/coopted I guess by western powers
