indonesian are too obsessed with the idea that a messianic-like figure will pop up and lead the people and save everyone
nobody is saving us. look at france they dont have a central figure in their protests. everyone going out because they actually care for one another.

But in all seriousness, the reaction from Japanese One Piece fans to people using the Straw Hat Jolly Roger in protests has been genuinely pissing me off. So many of them are more concerned about people bringing One Piece into real-life politics, calling it dangerous rhetoric and worrying that the series could get banned in certain countries, than they are about WHY people are even using it in the first place.
And I think this perfectly highlights the disconnect between Japanese fans and international fans. For some of them, One Piece is a manga they love and want to protect from controversy. For a lot of us, its themes of oppression, corruption, government tyranny and the fight for freedom hit a little closer to home. Some of us have lived through these things. Some of us have watched our families and loved ones suffer and die because of corrupt governments and injustice.
They can afford to treat these themes as fiction because they donโt necessarily have to relate them to their own reality. But when people who have experienced these things firsthand see the Straw Hat flag as a symbol of resistance and freedom, why is theyโre first reaction to police how other fans use it rather than understand why it resonates with them in the first place?
And thatโs what bothers me. Instead of trying to understand why people from completely different backgrounds see themselves in this story, theyโre dismissing it as dangerous political rhetoric that might get one piece banned in these countries

Pelajaran berharga: ilmu pengetahuan dan sains itu politis, nggak pernah netral. Relasi kuasa (termasuk relasi kuasa berbasis bias kolonial) seringkali membentuk legitimasi soal siapa yang dianggap valid sebagai pemilik pengetahuan (knowledge holder).

Greta Thunberg raises awareness of the Kalimantan fires and haze crisis:
โThe fires and haze crisis is far from over. As terrifying as this footage is, the reality on the ground is much worse than what you see on social media. 2 million acres of forests have been destroyed by fires. Animals have been burned alive, people are dying and suffocating, villagers have lost their forests and rubber trees, firefighters have died, and 277,075 people have been hospitalized due to acute respiratory infections, including 62,400 children under the age of five. This situation has been ongoing for four months. Please continue to support by donating today to Borneoโs Fires and Haze Crisis Fundraising Campaign to help firefighters, build more haze shelters to protect people, especially children and vulnerable groups, and save the remaining forests.โ

"Aku netral di permasalahan Palestina dan Israel, bukan berarti aku mendukung penindasan yang dilakukan oleh Israel sih...emangnya harus banget dukung Palestina biar ga dicap zionis?"

Percaya de, lo gak akan liat "Orang Netral" bersuara ketika si Penindas lagi menindas.
Sebaliknya, ketika si Tertindas lagi ngelawan, lo akan liat mantra2 kontol kayak:
"Bukan membela... tapi ini berlebihan gak sih?"
"Dua2nya salah.. tapi..."
"Paham sih klo kesel, tapi..."

Itโs well known that Bleachโs Soul Society arc shares DNA with Saint Seiyaโs Sanctuary arc. Both follow a small group fighting through a tiered hierarchy of elite guardians, the Gotei 13 Captains vs. the 12 Gold Saints,on a deadline to rescue a captive ally
โThe key difference is the mythological foundation: Saint Seiya draws heavily from Greek mythology (Athena and her Saints protecting humanity), while Bleach roots its world in Japanese folklore, Shinto, and Buddhist motifs
โTaking structural inspiration isn't copying. it's executing a classic formula with an entirely unique identity

Sudah ngomong berulang-ulang. Menjadi Tionghoa Indonesia harusnya lebih sensitif dengan penindasan yang dialami orang lain, bukan malah jadi penindas juga.

fun fact, jumlah pejabat tinggi eksekutif di pemerintahan prabowo lebih banyak dari:
- populasi ikan pesut mahakam
- populasi kanguru wondiwoi papua
- populasi gajah kalimantan
- populasi badak jawa
- populasi badak sumatera
- populasi badak kalimantan
Angka 161 itu ternyata baru lapisan atas.
Dengan 10 Penasihat Khusus dan 7 Utusan Khusus seperti di tabel, Perpres 106/2025 membuka ruang sampai 60 asisten dan pembantu asisten untuk para penasihat, serta 42 orang untuk para utusan.
Satu Stafsus Presiden sendiri bisa dibantu 5 asisten dan 10 pembantu asisten.
Ditambah 1 Stafsus Presiden dan 2 Asisten Khusus Presiden yang sudah dilantik, kapasitas struktur ini secara teoritis bisa menyentuh 281 posisi, bahkan belum termasuk tenaga pendukung Asisten Khusus dan staf Kemensetneg yang diperbantukan.
Intinya, tetap semangat bayar pajak, karena negara punya tambahan ratusan kursi yang harus dibiayai.

Today marks four years since the Kanjuruhan tragedy.
โThe disaster was triggered by excessive police use of tear gas, which violated FIFAโs stadium safety regulations during post-match clashes between Arema FC and Persebaya Surabaya. This led to mass panic and a deadly stampede as spectators rushed toward narrow, locked exits, causing severe asphyxiation, leaving 135 people dead and hundreds injured. It remains the second-deadliest stadium disaster in football history.

Look at the unprecedented level of destruction the world has allowed Apartheid-Israel to get away with in Gaza.
Know that the killing machine in that devastated ghetto is still running full throttle.
What a shame.

โDari udara hingga darat, seluruh kekuatan terus bergerak.โ
Begitu kata Seskab Teddy soal penanganan karhutla.
64 pesawat.
54.394 personel.
Sementara sejak Januari, 895.657 hektare lahan sudah terbakar. Lebih dari 13 kali luas Jakarta.
Sejak Agustus, lebih dari 175 ribu orang dilaporkan mengalami gangguan pernapasan.
Orangutan ikut terdampak. Asap lintas negara.
Dan sekarang media internasional ikut memberitakannya.
Jadi penasaran, yang bergerak cepat itu pemerintahnya atau apinya?
