Elections: Apathy or what?
Description
In English
One day, Dimas was doing his college assignment with his younger brother Baso who was watching TikTok. The election is getting closer. TikTok content also continues to be about politics and elections.
Baso said "I want to be the head of a political party". Dimas was shocked then laughed, "Do you really know what politics is? Pretend you want to be the head of a political party again hahaha, that's all you are." Baso then asked his older brother, "Sis, try to explain what politics is?"
Dimas: "Brother, explain it like this so that it's easy for you to understand, okay?
The father is the breadwinner for the family, so we call him the father of capitalism.
Mother, financial regulator, so we call it Mother government.
They are here to fulfill our needs, so we call ourselves the people.
Maid aunt, we call it a worker.
And Jihan, who is still a baby, we call him the future.
How? makes sense to you?"
After Dimas finished speaking, Baso went into his room to sleep and thought about what his brother had just said.
In the middle of the night, he heard Jihan crying, so he woke up and checked on her. He found Jihan soaking wet and dirty from wetting and defecating. Baso then went to his parents' room and saw his mother sleeping soundly, snoring. He felt sorry and didn't want to wake his mother because he must be tired of taking care of his little brother all day, so he went to his aunt's room. However, the door to the maid's room was locked. Finally he peeked through the keyhole. How shocked he was when he saw his father making love with the maid. He was very angry, and went straight to his sister's room. Dimas, who stayed up late doing college assignments, was surprised by the arrival of his younger brother.
Baso then said,
“Now I understand what POLITICS is!”.
Dimas answered, "Try to tell me what you understand."
Baso answered, "When CAPITALISM is taking advantage of LABOR, the GOVERNMENT is sleeping, while the PEOPLE can only watch and be confused to see that the FUTURE is in great difficulty. I will not go back on my words, I will nominate to be chairman of a political party and change this nation in my own way! !!".
In Indonesian
Suatu ketika Dimas sedang mengerjakan tugas kuliahnya bersama adiknya Baso yang sedang nonton tiktok. Pemilu semakin dekat konten tiktok juga terus tentang politik dan pemilu.
Baso berkata "Aku ingin jadi ketua partai politik". Dimas kaget kemudian tertawa "Memangnya kamu tau politik itu apa? Sok-sok mau jadi ketua partai politik lagi hahaha ada-ada saja kamu" Baso kemudian bertanya pada kakaknya, "Kak, coba jelaskan apa itu politik?"
Dimas: "Kakak jelaskan seperti ini agar kamu mudah mengerti yah.
Ayah pencari nafkah bagi keluarga, maka kita namakan Ayah kapitalisme.
Ibu, pengatur keuangan, maka kita namakan Ibu pemerintah.
Mereka disini untuk memenuhi kebutuhan kita, sehingga kita namakan kita rakyat.
Bibi pembantu, kita namakan buruh.
Dan Jihan yang masih bayi, kita namakan dia masa depan.
Bagaimana? masuk akal bagimu?"
Selesai Dimas berbicara, Baso masuk ke kamarnya untuk tidur dan memikirkan apa yang baru saja dikatakan kakaknya.
Pada waktu tengah malam, dia mendengar Jihan menangis, lalu dia bangun dan memeriksanya. Dia menemukan Jihan basah kuyup dan kotor karena ngompol dan buang air besar. Baso lalu pergi ke kamar orang tuanya dan melihat ibunya sedang tidur nyenyak sambil mendengkur. Dia kasihan dan tak ingin membangunkan ibunya karena beliau pasti kecapean mengurus adiknya seharian, maka dia pun pergi ke kamar si bibi pembantunya. Namun pintu kamar pembantunya terkunci. Akhirnya dia mengintip dari lubang kunci. Betapa kagetnya dia saat melihat Ayahnya sedang bercinta dengan si pembantu. Dia marah sekali, dan langsung ke kamar kakaknya. Dimas yang begadang mengerjakan tugas kuliah dikagetkan dengan kedatangan adiknya.
Baso lalu berkata,
“Sekarang aku mengerti apa itu POLITIK!".
Dimas menjawab, "Coba ceritakan yang kamu mengerti".
Baso menjawab, "Ketika KAPITALISME sedang memanfaatkan BURUH, PEMERINTAH tidur, sedangkan RAKYAT hanya bisa menonton dan bingung melihat MASA DEPAN berada dalam kesulitan besar. Tidak akan kutarik kata-kataku, aku akan mencalonkan menjadi ketua partai politik dan mengubah bangsa ini dengan caraku sendiri!!!".
