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

    My Government is a Neo-Liberal Hellhole Lead by A War Criminal aka Prabowo who’s Father In Law Was Suharto the US-Backed Dictatorship.

    As for ‘Color Revolution’… No, Its Grassroots and Organic… as far as i Know. The Cops and the Military here is Roleplaying '98, as for the Demonstrators, Activists… workers… i support… them, and online as well… Mostly as Some of the Oppositions are as dogshit as the Neo-Liberal Government (for example, I dont entirely support The Online Activism In Indonesia… reason is due to Anti-Government Online Activism are Mostly Liberals who are Pro-West, which Unfortunate)

    As Unfortunatly, as You Know what Happened in '65, Communists/Socialists Organization and Vanguards are Pretty Much Non-Existance… the Closests Things are the Socdems which suck ass.

    Also… Notice How the Protest in My country not aired on US MSM? Thats Because im gonna say it again… Neo-Liberal Government Lead by a War Criminal who’s Father In Law Was Suharto, the US-Backed Dictatorship. (He and The Government is Pretty Much a US Backed Dictatorship)

    My Country is in Deep Shit Guys whataboutism
