Socialism dan social media merupakan dua perkara yang tidak berkait antara satu sama lain, pun begitu perkataan asas social ada pada kedua-dua term. Socialism merujuk kepada ideologi dan sistem ekonomi manakala social media merupakan istilah dalam dunia internet dimana kini menjadi alat komunikasi dan diskusi. Socialism meletakkan golongan bawahan (majoriti/pengguna) sebagai tuan kepada satu institusi contohnya dalam sesebuah company. Socialism muncul sebagai ideologi yang bertentangan dengan ideologi capitalism yang mengeksploitasi keinginan manusia berbelanjana untuk kepentingan capital. Golongan pekerja ditekan untuk kepentingan golongan capitalist.

Apakah ada sedikit persamaan yang ada dalam struktur social media dengan ideologi socialism? Mungkinkan ideologi yang menjadi ketakutan kerajaan capitalism secular yang tidak mementingkan kebajikan rakyat ini sedikit sebanyak menyelinap dalam struktur social media?

Pada pandangan aku tidak ada kaitan jelas antaranya cuma dalam social media tidak ada hierarchy. Golongan yang asalnya dikenali ramai adalah sama taraf dengan orang biasa, sesiapa boleh berkomunikasi dengan bebas. Golongan yang dianggap biasa boleh menjadi individu yang boleh influence individu lain serta mendapat sokongan yang boleh mengalahkan individu yang asalnya dikenali ramai di luar sistem social media ini. Nilai sama rata ini merupakan asas ideologi socialism. Mungkin ini merupakan salah satu sebab terdapat segelintir pemimpin politik yang tidak mahu menggunakan social media dan sentiasa dalam ego sendiri.

Adakah kura-kura bersedih dengan pemergian

Bukan gambar sebenar, ini spesis painted turtle dari benua Amerika

Ada bela dua ekor kura-kura di rumah, konon nak bela sampai jadi besar mcm kat rumah mak kat Gombak. Minggu lepas seekor dah mati, sekarang hanya tinggal seekor. Peliknya yang seekor ini jadi kurang aktif berbeza masa berdua. Adakah kemungkinan yang seekor ini akan mati juga. Adakah ini semua disebabkan oleh emosi atau jangkitan kuman?

Mulut radiator berbuih-buih

Honda Civic punya cerita..

Kadang susah rasa bila pakai dua kereta ni, mesti ada satu yg akan terbengkalai, Civic ni sedap lagi pakai, cuma kadang ada la jugak problemnya, bila lama tinggal ni, tayar flat la, radiator kering ka, mcm2 la. Apa2 kalau nak tukar pakai Civic ni pulak kena la check semua2 dulu, nanti timbul masalah pulak.

Bila la nak cat Civic ni..

Malaysia negara paranoid dengan warna

Logo Bersih

Sebelum #besih semua sudah merasakan bahawa warna begitu sensitif dengan rakyat kita, bila hijau akan dikaitkan dengan PAS, biru dikaitkan dengan BN, biru cair dikaitkan dengan PKR. Dengan adanya #bersih paranoia terhadap warna ini diperkuatkan lagi, sebelum perhimpunan keramat itu telah ada yang ditangkap hanya kerana mengenakan baju berwarna kuning. Hatta selepas perhimpunan pun masih ada yang ditangkap. Patutkah selamanya rakyat dibelenggu dengan paranoia ini?
