I anticipate that the twin-headed snake of Western far-rightism and far-leftism will invade Indonesia like smallpox invaded the Aztecs, in the next 5-10 years.
I thus anticipate the cure: "Asian Values" of Harmony. A reactionary depoliticization of society.
A potential hedge against this development (which has a pretty good chance of ending in fascistic arrests / killings / exterminations against the "woke" urban liberals if the country becomes unstable enough in a self-inflicted economic crisis) is to:
1. Decouple from the Western liberal-left cathedral in America and Europe, whose power is rapidly evaporating anyways
2. Develop a robust, technocratic, aesthetically apolitical, alternate network aligned with the East Asian technocapitals of Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and especially Communist China. ("A new power is rising, its victory is at hand").
I think these have a much better chance for a successful collaboration and eventually real positive change.
shit that happens when you genocide the actual communist and ban the restoration of their party, kinda late for crying now....
