B. IGNORANCE: If you conduct a study and/or survey that contains political questioners, see what would happen. I went to an 'internationally' acclaimed Christian educational institution in a collegian level, and I asked around about Munir, and this is what they responded:
Mr. A answered: He's dead, right?
I asked back: How did he die?
Mr. A answered: He got shot, right?
I answered with another question, "Why did he get shot?"
Mr. A answered: He commented some things about the government
The more I ventured, the dumber the answers,
Mr. A answered: Well, he talked something about the government
Then, I trapped him with false facts,
I said, "I think it's got something to do with Soeharto's family."
Mr. A responded: Yeah, yeah, it's Tommy Soeharto.
.......... sad, eh?
It was even worse when I addressed the Obama's campaign, all they knew was that he had a childhood in Indonesia, THAT'S IT
Ignorance is capitalism's ideology, dumbing the nation by spoiling them of monetary values instead of humanistic values, therefore, the government can do anything they want, and its people won't have their saying, because they don't know and/or they don't even want to know what's going on, if you don't believe me, see what kinds of law that exist today, and how silly it is or how contradictory it is. Seeing the young generation getting progressively worse, I won't expect much in the years to come when our young takes the elder's places.
C.SHOWMANSHIP. This is the shirt that capitalism wears before going about its business. What matters is the looks, who's got the money, who's got the exterior qualities, and powerplay; almost like theater, but the theater is a mirror looking back at them. The problem is that the nation and its people look at themselves and acknowledge that the world is what they know and the world is revolving only for them. It's almost as if people of this nation are wearing glasses with mirrors on the inside. Showmanship can be seen when you see people hiding behind the 'religion shield' when they act upon certain things. Or when the 2009 campaign started, nobody offered a specific explanation or ideology that would bring comfort to our dark times, all they care is the complicated voting system, and billions of money wasted to make it seem that democracy is working, even though it is not. Showmanship makes of a window-dressed democracy, gift-wrapping capitalism and its ugliness with multiple labels of 'democracy' written all over.
