part 5. when i really hopeless on indonesia human quality

since a long time, since i was in elementary school, maybe in grade 4 or 5, i was brainwashed by government through books, that indonesia is a great country. the main reason is because indonesia can have independent day by it's own fight, pull out a contry as big netherland for indonesia is an enaough proof that indonesia is a great country. not enough in that, the school book also tell indonesia is a rich country because we have very much resources. it's not written onece, it's written over and over time. i got intially these knowledge in grade 5 elementary school, even when i was in high school, shocked enough, i still got almost the same lesson. when a in high school, the wtitten style a little bit complex, actually it should explained in a little different sentences compare to lesson in elementary school. but the point excatly same, indonesia is a strong country because have it's own indpend and also rich country with a lot mineral resources.

honestly a big question mark rose up to my mind at the time, why i got the same lesson for years. at that time i very naif, i don't think attention more on that, in my mind at the time very simple, as child in general, "no matter what it's written, what's important for me is to past exam and get high score". i think it's not only me to think like that, many may friends also have the same mindset.

when i grow older, i start to confuse how country work. how government and power work. i also find insight that every normal person want to keep power for his life time. especially for president that have very big power on everything, i think it's reasonable if he want to keep power for his entire life. but what's the foundation, the most important think if you want to keep power, it's about the next generation. if you want to have a long time power until you die, you should know how to control opinion every new generation. you should guarantee that their knowledge isn't become threat for yout country. unfortunatelay, the president have an unlimited power to control people mind, it's through school lesson, it's primary knowledge resources for a teen, so when they grow older you excatly programmed how their thinking.

so why they teach the same lesson over and over time i think it's to make slow propoganda, even for a kids in 5 grade they already tell and repeat over and over again until high school. even there is an exam, and if you have bad knowledge you got low score as a "punishment". so you forced to study and study again just to be have mindset excatly as they want.

is that bad? yes, it's vey devil act. in the textbook also written "indonesia fighting is for independence, how indonesia people have it's own dream and achieve by itself, a holy dream to have indonesian better life". but if the ruler made so many effort to control it's own people opinion, education isn't for make people smarter but fot propoganda. is it call independent? if the education system is to tell student what the student should think, not to make student smart, it's not independence, it's colonialisme. and sadly, that's the fact, indonesia education system is for propoganda, and they are really success to get that objective. for me indicator that they have very success propoganda in education system is indonesian people really like to idolize politics actor, not based on rational but based on emotional (idolize based on emotional a lot easier to control because they lose their own mind). is the any indonesian people dare to have statement that eduaction indonesia is programmed to make student smarter? because if it's true to make young generation smarter, how it's make sense average indonesia iq is 78 after 80 years independence. it's a very bad result. if they want to fix, they can fix it in 10 years, but why they not fixed it? yes, because current system is the perfect system tho make their propoganda for young generation, that all they need.

then i believed indonesia is a great contry, after that i realize indonesia will be a great country one day so we should take participation in the effort to achieve it, but now i realize this is designed system for elit easy to control all indonesia resources (include natural and people resources) and who ever become elit, nothing will fix the system because the system already fix for you.
