Little noticed in the West, the past two years have witnessed the largest protest wave in decades against Indonesia’s increasingly authoritarian crony-capitalist government. But activists are still mentally stuck in the 1990s, deploying depoliticized concepts like “civil society” and “moral force,” and resorting to ill-conceived methods of resistance that have left the movement in a rut and unable to realize its radical potential.
Which is probably why they are employing the same means of resistance as the pro democracy movement in neighboring Phillipines and no we shouldn't infantalize them for that and no it's not the same as the pro democracy movement in Hong Kong.
