You know how brilliant their idea to choose Bundaran HI sebagai tempat "aksi" mereka adalah? It’s because they know Bundaran HI adalah pusat titik keramaian Jakarta.
Choosing Bundaran HI means maximum exposure. Akses ke semua lapisan masyarakat itu potensial banget buat attract publik. From the corporate slaves stepping out of their Sudirman offices, people commuting, to the general public—everyone is literally there. It is the ultimate hub to get eyes on your movement.
Plus di Bundaran HI, segala jenis transportasi umum ada. It’s the literal heart of Jakarta's transit. So obviously, the traffic will be disrupted. But honestly? In modern activism, that disruption is a feature, not a bug. When the traffic gets a bit chaotic, people are forced to look. It creates that instant "Wait, what’s happening over there?" effect.
As someone who used to organize actions and protests too, let’s be real for a second: pemilihan Bundaran HI ini bukan lagi buat "protes" langsung ke pihak yang diprotes.
Why? Karena ya udah pasti gak bakal didengar. Pointing fingers directly at the institutions just ends up making you tired, drained, and honestly, males banget. It’s a dead end.
Makanya mereka pilih Bundaran HI. It’s no longer about yelling at a brick wall; it’s about controling the narrative and winning the public's attention. If the authorities won't listen, you make the entire city talk about it instead. And there’s no better stage for that than Bundaran HI.
This is such a joke. Cops asking students not doing anarchy while they deployed over 6k-ish full armored armies and tear gas near Hotel Indonesia roundabout over students peaceful protest. Make it make sense.
udh gede kok masih tetep mikir kalo orang demo itu ga guna si… and also, kalo negara dan pemerintahnya bener, nyenengin rakyat, gaakan ada demo. lu ngomong gitu karena emang lu belom kena ruginya, at least buka wawasan lu lebih luas, jangan stay di zona nyaman lu
🚨Breaking!🚨
Students holding peaceful protests in Jakarta are facing obstruction from the police and the military.
The police should protect, not suppress, people who peacefully exercise their right to protest.
The military should never be involved in controlling peaceful civilian demonstrations.
Yang unjuk rasa mahasiswa. Seusia anak bahkan cucu mereka. Tapi mereka kerahkam polisi dan TNI. Bukan untuk menjamin keselamatan pengunjuk rasa, tapi untuk memastikan bahwa unjuk rasa tak mengganggu kekuasaan mereka!
Pengecut!
tuhan melindungi setiap langkah mereka yang turun ke jalan hari ini. terima kasih sudah memperjuangkan kepentingan semua orang. doa baik selalu. ✊🇮🇩 tinju ke atas.
