Fair, it seems mostly up in the air right now and I suspect the conclusion will be he is a Groyper adjecent (it's a very nuanced world tbf so if you're doing their memes, you're in so deep) NVE (Nihilist Violent Extremist), which will be reduced to right/left as politically fitting.

If he was Groyer or Gropyer adjecent he lent right politically and his friends have said he disagreed with the "left" on most things.

Groypers are generally more comfortable with LGBT individuals than other aspects of the right, tho they embrace a generally nililistic approach to issues around id.

Designating Antifa a terrorist organisation because a right winger killed a right winger... brought to you from the people who invaded Iraq and Afghanistan because some Saudia Arabias did a terrorism. Truth just doesn't matter to them. It's all specticle to fuel authoritarianism.

The wave of authority has built for some time and then in response to protests the police murdered children.

Now ministers are beaten in the street, government buildings put to the torch: a revolutionary moment.

Abolish Parliament! Update on the Wave of Rebellion in Indonesia

Abolish Parliament! Update on the Wave of Rebellion in Indonesia

This wave of rebellion, starting in late August 2025, was caused by the accumulation of anger over various political and economic issues. There was no single issue. Everything escalated with a massive increase in house taxes across the region, due to the government’s budget deficit. At the same time, members of parliament received a tenfold increase in wages. This was exacerbated by officials’ often arbitrary statements. For example, the Regent of Pati said that taxes would not be reduced, even if a mass demonstration of 50,000 people took place. Pati was the first city to explode with a turnout of around 100,000 people on August 10, 2025. Protests against the tax increase spread to Bone, then to other cities. During a demonstration in Jakarta, an online transportation worker was killed after being run over by a police vehicle. The following day, demonstrations spread to many cities, and they continue to this day as we publish the update. At least ten civilians were killed, several officials’ homes were looted, and half a dozen House of Representative offices were partially burned or burned to the ground. We were confident this rebellion would subside, but the public’s anger did not.

A Rascal sister site has launched: @roguesite.bsky.social

Former-Polygon writers have gotten together to launch a worker-owned video game journalism outlet (with a little rascally help).

If you mourned the loss of one site, celebrate the birth of another, and support the people making it happen.
