Joko Widodo or Jokowi, or better known by his regnal name Emperor Jokowi of Indonesia was a carpenter who became the 7th Emperor of Indonesia, a corrupt country in Southeast Asia, and currently controls all events that occur in Indonesia from behind the scenes. Don't be fooled by his friendly face!
Early life[edit | edit source]
After he came out of his mother's buttocks, the innocent little boy was given the name 'Mulyono', which means "noble". However, he became sickly. According to the Javanese, this was a sign that the name had burdened him and pressed down on him so that he felt like he was being crushed by a big elephant. In the end, the little man was renamed 'Joko Widodo' (lit. Prosperous Man).
After graduating from school, young Widodo worked as a carpenter and married Iriana, the woman he had fallen in love with who accidentally made eye contact with him. During this work, a foreigner from Napoleonesia gave him the title "Jokowi", because the name "Joko Widodo" was too long in his opinion. Jokowi went bankrupt, and his house was evicted by the New Order government. However, Jokowi did not care and continued to work.
Jokowi finally decided to change his job and become a politician. Jokowi saw that after Emperor Suharto of Indonesia fell from his seat because his seat was eaten by Amien Rais, reforms were carried out under his successor's government. Jokowi finally rode on the party that was "still trusted at that time", the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) aka the Banteng Party, led by Megawati, the son of the proclaimer Emperor Sukarno of Indonesia who was overthrown by Emperor Suharto. With the determination to improve the nation, Jokowi became the Viscount of his birthplace, Surakarta and was loved by its citizens.
After his name became famous throughout Java Indonesia, Jokowi was then nominated as the Duke of Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia which is filled with rats and monkeys. Because Jokowi wanted to continue the reform with his wife, he agreed. Riding on the PDIP, he was paired with Basuki Tjahaja Purnama alias Ahok, a Chinese, and managed to win the election. Not long after taking office and improving Jakarta, there was an offer to become the emperor president, and Jokowi accepted.
Reign[edit | edit source]
Early season[edit | edit source]
In 2014, after being elected president because he wore a plaid shirt and portrayed himself as a humble, kind and civilized old man, he quickly took power from his predecessor, Emperor SBY. During this era, Jokowi gave power to the PDIP, the party that had supported him so he could relax in his room with coffee.
However, it turns out that PDIP actually took advantage of this to become the number 1 most corrupt party in Indonesia, with the label of "people's party" they robbed the people's money and created a large oligarchic circle in Indonesia. Jokowi was very shocked and then proposed the Asset Confiscation Law with the aim of seizing the assets of those who were corrupt. However, the law was rejected by the DPR because the DPR was already controlled by the tycoons. Finally, Jokowi's image fell and he was called a person who knew nothing and was careless.
Mid season[edit | edit source]
Instability began to occur after Jokowi was accused of being reckless. This time the FPI (Islamic Defenders Front) led by Rizieq Shihab, an extremist cleric, rebelled and sued one of Jokowi's confidants, Ahok, and accused him of blasphemy. Jokowi tried to protect Ahok, but the DPR, seeing that Ahok might be prepared as an obstacle, instead imprisoned Ahok.
Seeing this, Jokowi then began to plan a takeover of power. He began to take over the government from behind the scenes and began nepotism by appointing his children and family to important positions. He intended to carry out reforms by entrusting them to his family, whom he trusted more than the DPR's collusion. Secretly, he formed the PSI party, which would be prepared for his grand plan later.
After the 2019 Indonesian protests and riots, he then strengthened his friendship with Prabowo Subianto and appointed him as defense minister, who would later be nominated by him as a presidential candidate. His children are prepared to seize power well. Jokowi also built and prepared the new capital of Indonesia, Capital City of Nusantara in Kalimantan which is planned to be the center of his political dynasty.
After being insulted by former emperor Megawati that "Jokowi without PDI, oh my, what a pity" in 2024, he felt that now was the right time to start implementing his plan.
End season[edit | edit source]
After moving the capital city, the 2024 general election will be held soon because Jokowi's term of office is almost over. In this election, there are three candidates: Abah Anies–Muhaimin by PKB and PKS, Prabowo–Gibran by PSI and Gerindra, and Ganjar–Mahfud from PDIP.
Jokowi used his nepotist power and executed his takeover plan well. Instead of supporting the PDIP candidate, he supported candidates from other parties, Gerindra and PSI. He managed to make one of his people the chairman of the General Election Commission and his brother-in-law the chairman of the Constitutional Court. Prabowo Subianto and his son, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, were also well prepared as pawns.
In 2024, Prabowo and Gibran won the general election. This made the DPR upset because Jokowi's plan managed to attract public attention. They tried to block Jokowi and influence stupid students to demonstrate against the general election. The "anak Abah" (Father's children, referring to the supporters of Abah Anies) who support Abah Anies are the most easily influenced group, because they will quickly be provoked by religious and SARA issues, and are easily influenced by identity politics. The DPR used them to oppose Jokowi's nepotism and dynasty politics. However, after the Supreme Court hearing which was already controlled by Jokowi's faction from the start, the DPR lost and until now they can only influence stupid students to demonstrate.
One of the biggest demonstrations during this period was the 2024 Indonesian local election law protests, which opposed Jokowi's dynastic oligarchy, but the protests did not seem to have any effect on Jokowi's plans.
Controversy[edit | edit source]
Dynasty politics[edit | edit source]
Jokowi is the first Indonesian leader from the common people. Therefore, he does not have any power to support himself. However, apparently he has different thoughts from the common people. Jokowi then founded his own dynasty, which then succeeded in controlling Indonesia and becoming one of the most influential families in Indonesian history.
The emergence of this new clan was opposed by some other clans that had previously been in power, such as the Sukarno clan. This then led to many demonstrations to weaken the influence of the Jokowi clan. However, this did not have any impact on the image of Jokowi and his family.
Neo-Authoritarianism[edit | edit source]
Jokowi's government has been accused of being neo-authoritarian by a number of opposition groups. Some of them are even narrow-minded Chinese who have even been given positions by Jokowi. According to them, Jokowi's government is neo-authoritarian because of the police's repressive actions against demonstrations.
