      Prabowo is a fucking monster, and much like other worldwide monsters, he was trained at Fort Bragg by US special forces.

      Then even The US said “This guy is too war crimey even for us. We’re going to deport you, but do keep in touch. Especially about those East Timor rebels. They look suspiciously anti-capitalist”.

        Bizarre, and at the same time devilishly clever. It looks like a modern adaptation of nazi’s sieg heil or some other cultish gestures if you think of it. He’s associated with more than an image or a voice, but with a dance one sees and repeats. And it’s a very visual, albeit looking innocent, sign of support that can easily turn in more people. And mass dance can be triggered, just like a wave on a stadium, by a dozen of provocators who’d start it…

        I hope his PR team would be the first to enjoy what they created.
