Abstract
This paper examines how the existence of social media Twitter is useful
for social activists who are often referred to as influencers as an effort to
voice criticism of various government policies. By using qualitative methods of
thinking framework of social activism and political carnival in the public
sphere, the authors try to see how the effectiveness that appears in the
activities of criticism that they do. With the existence of users who are
dominated by Y & Z generation, Twitter has become one of the most popular
social media visited by users because they can throw a variety of opinions
related to various things that are popular. Young people have very open
opportunities to use social media as a platform to grow their activities as
members of civil society, such as community participation and improving
themselves. The use of social media to form social movements is very successful
in attracting public interest.
Keywords: Influencers,
Social Activism, Social Media, Twitter.
Introduction
In the interaction in the
digital world, maybe we are already attached to various social media platforms
that are often used daily by the people of Indonesia, each of these platforms
has their respective uses and goals. One of them is Twitter, as a social media
platform in the form of microblogging (Faulina & Sarmiati, 2021). Since its launch
in 2006, Twitter has undergone various changes, especially from the beginning
as a form of 'special' social media has now become something that is common and
integrated into everyday life (Djelantik et al., 2015). Although
Twitter, Inc. periodically updating service designs and introducing new
features - often in response to users making their own habits, such as putting
'#' in front of important keywords to tag them - the basic concepts behind
services remain the same: users can post up to 140 short message characters
(tweets) and follow notifications posted by other users (Kusuma et al., 2020). This leads to the
creation of a complex network of followers with one-way and two-way
relationships that occur not only between each individual user, but also
between the media, NGOs and even the government (Prasetyowati et al., 2020).
In addition to
interpersonal communication, Twitter is increasingly used in news, politics,
industry and entertainment as a source of real-time information and as a forum
for debate (Juanda, 2017). Beyond watching
major news programs, Twitter remains a place for regular expressions and
interactions: millions of private users talk to their friends anytime and post
images or URLs via Twitter, using this service as a journal of their thoughts
and daily activities. That is why Twitter is often sharply criticized because
most are 'useless babble,' 'useless knowledge,' or 'phatic communication,' but
such criticism is simple (Pasaribu, 2022). Conversely, each
user's very personal use as a medium for outreach, sharing knowledge, or
communicating with friends is at the core of Twitter's use for individuals and
organizations, and indeed supports its popularity as a global news media forum
and public communication (Cornelissen, 2020).
In Indonesia alone,
Twitter can be said to not be a social media prima donna such as YouTube,
WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram. However, when we look at the engagement of
advertising generated on Twitter, we can see that the percentage is greater
because it targets millennials that are very interactive in the digital world (Saputra et al., 2020). With the swift
flow of information that rotates and the dynamics that exist causes Twitter to
have its own market share, even though the information circulating in it is not
specifically segmented. Various things can be discussed there, for example,
from things that are very serious to trivial things that have become part of
the daily conversation material of Twitter Indonesian netizens (Nasrullah, 2018). This caused the
emergence of a variety of opinion leaders who have their own audience segments,
those who are considered as opinion leaders are considered to have advantages
because it can affect the audience, they are the ones who are then referred to
as influencers. Each influencer has its own topic cluster, it is not uncommon
for them to 'play' across clusters, especially if there is 'order' information
that they must share with the audience on Twitter (Rahmawan & Narotama, 2019).
In its relation between
politics, influencers, and Twitter in Indonesia, we may already know that
Twitter's existence is very closely related to political activities in this
country, especially since elections in the last decade, political campaign
activities have not been limited to the real world, but have entered to the
digital realm, especially in the realm of social media using influencers who
are considered to have influence in the eyes of Twitter netizens (Priyowidodo et al., 2018). Then in 2019
yesterday, we had just held a simultaneous election to elect leaders from the
district level to the president, of course we as ordinary people can see the
contestation among political influencers in conducting digital campaigns. Every
election takes place, these influencers can be said to be divided into two
groups, those who are pro with detention and those who are opposition (Mikail, 2015).
Nevertheless, it can be
said that the composition of these accounts is always the same every year and
even if there is a change in the constellation of the two camps, it usually
only happens because it follows the current dynamics of politics in Indonesia.
This causes netizens to easily map out who influencers belong to the two camps
and more and more here are netizens making generalizations whether an
influencer is classified as pro-government or opposition. A little backward to
see these influencers, most of them are people who do not have a political
background at all, but do not rule out the possibility for them to later plunge
into the realm of politics. What is interesting is that some of them are
ex-activists who were active in the movement during the reform era, and now
have turned into part of the political funnel in Indonesia. When the election
period is over, those who successfully campaign for one of the candidates also
enter the government circle, even though it is considered an informal public
relations authority of the ruling government (but there are 1-2 influencers who
are then legally withdrawn into government mouthpieces).
In addition to
influencers belonging to the two camps, there are also influencers who have no
political interests, but consistently carry out various criticisms of the
current administration. In fact, it is not uncommon during the election
campaign period, they also continue to make criticisms, especially if they feel
that no candidate is deemed fit to participate in the general election. Some of
these influencers have a background in real-world activism, their activism is
not only about political issues, but various issues that are considered very
important and a problem in this country, so it can be said easily that they are
a new generation of activists who always trying to give his critical thinking
related to the political conditions in Indonesia.
This paper itself seeks
to see how the activism activities carried out by non-political influencers run
effectively in the digital realm, especially on Twitter, where they often
aggressively criticize government policies that are deemed inappropriate or
even instead harming the people of Indonesia. This is certainly very
interesting when considering that Twitter netizens easily generalize and
consider themselves part of the opposition because often the issues they raise
are 'ridden' by political influencers who are also part of the opposition, even
though in reality they actually do not have affiliation with any political
camp.
J�rgen Habermas explained the concept of 'public space' as an
independent space separate from the state and the market. According to him
every individual has the right (or access) to give his opinion in the pubslic space. This public opinion has a position to influence
the behavior that occurs in the 'space' of the country and the market, even on
an informal level. Habermas believes that the
"world of life" (lifeworld) and "system" (system) are the
foundation of modern society. This theoretical concept shows the roots of
communicative and 'instrumental or strategic actions.' According to him, the
system consists of 'money' and 'power' subsystems, and human behavior in this
subsystem is very instrumental in achieving the goals of this subsystem. On the
other hand, in his view 'world-life' is usually 'conductive to freedom, which
means achieving self-chosen goals that are not needed in the process.'
'World-life' helps the
individuals within it to achieve their goals cooperatively by becoming a 'home'
in communicative actions with awareness of the situation that is identified
together. As a mechanism for understanding, it is the rational potential
contained in communicative action. The moral capacity of communicative action
is openness of mind to logic (reason) and opinion (argument). Through the
agreement of sharing and disputes using logic, consensus is found in it. Habermas also argues with this theoretical argument that
the object of social change is to ensure that 'world-life' or 'public space'
persists regardless of the inclination of 'machinery' and invasion by its
subsystems.
There are conflicting
statements about how the internet and its related technologies contribute to
the development of public space. Supporters say the Internet helps shape the
modern public domain (Oey-Gardiner & Abdullah, 2021). For example, the
proliferation of online political debates will encourage political participation
and can stop public spaces that are allegedly shrinking (Maryudi, 2018). On the other
hand, critics refute these positive views, arguing that the Internet often
produces discourse that is cracked, incomprehensible, and not limited to the
exchange of logical and inclusive views. Actually there is no connection to the
Internet in some parts of the world. In addition, interactive debate spaces are
often shared in a parallel manner with conventional conversation modes (Massyat, 2013). In some cases,
some dominate online debates, such as influencers or opinion leaders.
(Hirsch, 2014) emphasizes the
argument about division by comparing modern social media activism with previous
social movements, arguing that each generation reinvents social activism to
meet the needs and language of the current situation. He acknowledged that
individuals traditionally tended to join social movements by clearly
identifying the causes, but were not always willing to put themselves at
personal risk. Although there is recognition that many factors are effectively
developed by social movements, in many cases he emphasizes the use of language
and terminology in these movements as determining aspects. While this
transition is not inherently dangerous, problems arise when individuals adopt a
"consolation attitude" and shift focus from the rhetorical message
itself. Although this phase may seem counter-intuitive (stupid events, causes,
or movements that activate rhetoric), we should note that social media messages
are quickly collected and optimized for direct impact, and users do not consider
all rhetorical positions until posting - especially if the rhetoric is
passionate about the cause or movement he wrote.
Is it possible for social
media rhetoric to ignore such alterations? In "Beyond the Modern
Synecdoche: Towards a Non-Fundamentalist Human Rights Discourse" Ricardo Baldissone introduces a potential solution - albeit
theoretical - about how social media can be adapted to fit the need for
non-polarized rhetoric. Baldissone claims that human
rights discourse currently follows the synecdochic
model, in which the concept of what "humanity" has been shaped only
by certain parts of human groups. This inaccurate representation of humanity
eliminates discourse about human differences and suggests that human rights and
discourse activists marginalize subjects such as women, children, and what are
often referred to as "minority" groups. Baldissone
argues for recognition of the multiplicity of humans in rhetorical discourse,
which would require new human rights vocabulary to grammatically flourish in limiting
everyday language used to represent various groups.
The argument offered by Baldissone to systematically change the language of
activist rhetoric raises a potential solution to the problem described by Lyons
and Hesford. Because modern audiences vary greatly in
the context and representation of their culture, Baldissone
language analysis provides an interesting focal point for the future of
rhetoric and its role in social media activism. The ethos of rhetoric - which
is often the "centerpiece" of the rhetoric triangle - can prove to be
a tool where human multiplicity is recognized on social media. Because most
social media platforms involve some sort of personal identification on the part
of the speaker or writer - be it a profile photo, user name, or even the full
name of the user - there is a sense of responsibility associated with the
rhetoric of modern human rights that did not exist in the 1960s and the 1970s,
where anonymous pamphlets and letters were the main mode of written social
activist rhetoric. This accountability can serve as a viable tool for promoting
intentionality on the part of rhetoric; if social media users become more aware
of the rhetoric alterations that are vulnerable to social media, the use of activist
rhetoric on social media might, indeed, work to mobilize productive social
movements.
In addition to using
concepts related to activism and public space, I also use concepts related to
public participation through the lens of 'Political Carnival'. Throughout the
digital era, the conceptualization of the relationship between 'games' and
citizen participation in the democratic process has become increasingly
relevant (Budiarta et al., 2020). Underlying this
attraction is the idea that 'game' is often associated with the same social and
political forces that form other aspects of social life (Burchill & Linklater, 2019). The idea of carnivalism has two contrasting features, but they are
interrelated. Carnival, on the one hand, is a social event to share or give
thanks. The original purpose of maintaining a carnival was to seek
entertainment. They are often ritualistic and congregational within clear
boundaries, characterized by ephemerality filled with cheerfulness, hospitality
and cheerfulness (Tackett, 2014). Carnival in this
way mimics festivals that are characterized primarily by fun and play (Solikhin et al., 2020).
Around the same time the
carnival provided resistance. (Damanik et al., 2022) argues that
carnival as a provider of public counter space is worth considering. In fact,
the carnival has long been associated with social movements and rebellion. As
defined (Lewis, 2013), carnival is an
'anti-structural' domain in which the dominant social structure is reversed or
named. The official order hierarchy was mocked into a carnival, and social and
political forces were reversed. Historical investigations mark the early
festivals as a protest against public order. This brief historical view offers
various examples of how carnivals are used to oppose the government, or at
least temporarily defuse certain types of political oppression. (Stallybrass & White, 1986) summarize the
main features of the carnival as follows: a) A strong, populist, and critical
reversal of all official words and hierarchies. b) Suspension of all
hierarchical rankings, privileges, norms and restrictions. c) Positive
degradation and insults and creative disrespect. d) A temporary re-textualization of social formations that reveals their
'fictitious' foundation (p.1-26).
Why does a carnival act
as a playroom and place of resistance? For a long time, the carnival has
offered a platform for the general public to joke and ridicule political
figures, to insinuate and ridicule absurdity, to oppose social customs and to
reverse current hierarchical norms. In other words, the main components of the
carnival are political humor, satire, and parody, and all are closely related
to attitudes condemning absurdity.
Humor is "a process
that alleviates the subject from the accumulation of elements of violence contained
in the subconscious". Political humor in the past has become "a
common medium for voicing widespread insults and resistance to authoritarian
regimes" (Park, 2013). A healthy
reaction to a superior power is political comedy as a reaction to a greater
power (Wood, 2020). Political humor
helps people to express social, cultural, and political grievances in ways that
allow them to let go of restricted and suppressed desires and freedoms (Park, 2013). Political humor
is an ancient folk language that is not discussed in the mass media, and is a
collective commodity that has no legitimacy or visible origin. The political
satire themes are less cynical but also more provocative than general comedy.
Satire is another key
aspect that people use to mock or ridicule others in carnivals (Bonnstetter, 2011). Satire produces
a short laugh and a feeling of relief followed by liberation from the
oppressive subject. Political satire establishes "a space of liberation
through this counter-hegemonic initiative, which increases the political
knowledge of people who are powerless and involved in rebellion" (Bonnstetter, 2011). Serious
satirical debates mock the current law and bring down the dominating hierarchy.
Satirical debate is effective when it attracts and exposes the secret nature of
injustice in the center of public attention. Political satire triggers anger,
encourages dissent, and frees people from the political tyranny of dominant
discourse.
Another important aspect
of the carnival is Parody. Parody is described as "an imitation of the
style of a particular writer, artist, or genre with excessive intentional comic
effects" (Oxford Dictionaries, 2014); That is, parody is an imitation set
against the original, or far from the truth. According to Bakhtin (1984b),
parody is a kind of double-voicing that understands the significance of
statements, thereby injecting "new semantic goals into debates that have,
and maintain, their own ends" (p.189). Also, political parody is used to
insert rival meanings from the language of the king, mocking the political
agenda of the authorities (Badarneh, 2011). A parody
writer adopts the ruling discourse and then "includes that discourse semantine goals which are directly contrary to the
originals" (Bakhtin, 1984b, p.193). As a result, the voice of the creator
of parody contrasts with the voice of the ruler, who dominates the dominant
discourse, and thus creates a force of resistance against the government.
Material and Methodology
This study applies a
qualitative approach which is a type of research whose findings are not
obtained through quantification procedures, statistical calculations, or other
forms of measurement using numerical measures. Qualitative is a method relating
to aspects of quality, value or meaning contained behind facts. The quality,
value or meaning referred to here can only be expressed and explained through
linguistics, language, or words. That is why this method does not describe the
data and reveal the results of his research with numbers, numbers, values,
ratings or frequencies, which are usually analyzed using mathematical or
statistical calculations (Creswell, 2015).
(Creswell, 2015) also states that
a qualitative approach is an approach to construct statements of knowledge
based on constructive perspectives, which are based on meanings that originate
from individual experiences, values, social and history, with the aim of
developing theories or specific knowledge patterns or based on participatory
perspectives. based on orientation to politics, issues, collaboration, or
change, or both. As said in his book, Furthermore, Creswell explains that in
qualitative research, knowledge is built through interpretation of multiple
perspectives from the input of all participants involved in research, not just
from the researcher alone. Sources of qualitative research data consist of
observational notes, interview notes, individual experiences, and history.
Qualitative research aims to understand the objects studied in depth.
The qualitative research
that I conducted uses a digital ethnographic approach. For this reason, I study
the patterns of behavior, habits, language, and social interactions that occur
on the subjects I research so that they can produce a deep picture and
understanding of the subjects I studied, or in other words social media users,
especially Twitter, originating from from generation
Y (millennial.) In determining the informants to be right on target with this
research question, I selected two key informants. My first key informant is an
online media journalist who I think has a lot of information about activism
activities on social media that are relevant for research In addition to the
journalist, I also chose another informant who is an activist of social media
activism itself, who likes to voice his criticism on various social media, one
of which is Twitter.
The steps I took in
collecting this research data included observing. Observation activity is a way
of collecting data by making observations and being directly involved with an
object in a certain period and making systematic records of things that are
observed. The method of observation in this study was conducted by observing
how the patterns of social interaction that occur between Twitter users in
their daily life in there, both in activities such as discussions that are
critical of government policies and other activities or in everyday social
interactions. While the interaction between influencers and buzzers was
observed when discussions took place in the social media. Thus I will be able
to see the patterns of interaction that exist at the same time see the
compatibility between the results of the interview with the reality that occurs
in the field.
The next method I did was
the in-depth interview method I did with my informants, be it key informants or
other informants. With both methods carried out in the field, I hope to build a
good report card with the informants so that the research data obtained is also
more accurate. This study also uses literature or library research data
collection techniques (literature studies) at the beginning of the activity
before conducting field research to get an overview and find references related
to research in order to complete and strengthen the research base. Materials or
secondary data obtained from journals, the internet, articles related to the
subject matter of the study object will be used as a support in compiling this
research.
Results and Discussions
In its development, social activism activities are
often associated with efforts of resistance from the people who are considered
oppressed against those who are considered to have the power to determine the
lives of many people. Those who are considered to have this power are not only
limited to individual entities, but also groups, can also not be private parties,
but the government itself is also considered as those who have power over the
livelihoods of many people. Meanwhile, those who carry out these activism
activities can be said to have very diverse backgrounds, such as documentary
filmmakers, paralegals for the National Human Rights Commission, academics, to
health workers. Although their interactions are not limited to Twitter's social
media, the locus of activism and social movements is very visible on Twitter,
especially Twitter frees its users to deliver messages even though it is
limited to 280 characters.
This is quite normal considering the majority of
Indonesians use social media as a way to exchange information. From students,
employees, officials, and presidents to social media pages such as Facebook and
Twitter. Social networks such as sharing knowledge, creating a new world on
social media through status, video, and images. The growth of the internet
ensures that everyone has the same ability to use it, such as making movements
and improving. This is assisted by a number of social media such as Facebook,
Twitter, Youtube, and others that change
communication and change the way individuals interact through the internet. In
the context of Twitter itself, its users are currently dominated by Zs and Ys / Millennials (15-39 Years) so it can be said
that they are classified as young children to young adults.
The definition of youth generation that I use in
this paper is based on the categorization of generations by Brosdahl
and Carpenter (2011), referring explicitly to Generation Y. Early and regular
exposure to technology, which has advantages and disadvantages in terms of
cognitive, emotional and social consequences, is a major feature of Gen Y (Immordino-Yang et
al., 2012). In the broadest definition of the word, social media describes it as an
online service where users can build and distribute various content. While social
media has existed since the birth of Gen Y (1981), it was widely embraced after
2003. They include user-generated services (such as blogs), social networking
sites, online review / ranking sites, the world of virtual games, video sharing
sites, and online communities where users create, develop, post or edit content.
Several studies have shown that Gen Y often
contributes information, produces and pulverizes (e.g., Combining materials
from various sources); that they are inclined to social networking platforms
where they can interact (Dye, 2007) and that when the accessibility and
flexibility offered by social media increasingly become part of their daily
routines, their use is reflected in various aspects of social life, including
social life. Wattenberg (2008) argues:
"Young people are almost always in the
forefront of new types of activities, and are typically more adventurous and
open to novel ways of doing things. If there really is a new kind of political
engagement, then it seems reasonable to hypothesize that young people would be
among the first practitioners of new means of involvement in the political
process"
Young people have very open opportunities to use
social media as a platform to grow their activities as members of civil
society, such as community participation and improving themselves. Young people
as agents of reform and at the same time oversight of the direction of
government allows social media to be a place to track policy efficiency. Young
people often use social media as a forum for government policy discourse and
analysis. Not only is the youth community involved in the online world, but
also makes movements in the real world. By using social media supported by
young people who are trying to respond to social problems, seek support from
groups and carry out online activism. With social networks of young people who
are members of the community can quickly discuss and communicate with fellow
community members, social media has promoted public space for young people,
assisted by digital people who make social media public space a new pop
culture.
The same thing was also stated by Hircsh (2014), that each generation reinvents social
activism to meet the needs and language of the current situation. We must also
be able to understand that the various issues raised in social activism
activities on Twitter are often close to our daily lives, even trivial matters
sometimes become issues that are echoed by these social activism movements.
What is interesting is that when these issues intersect directly with the
policies implemented by the government, then a new arena of debate will emerge
between those who are pro to contra. Even sometimes the debate that arises then
triggers conflicts that sometimes attack each other's personal.
What is interesting is that the difference between
experts on generation Y and generation Z in addressing social media activism, Susilo et al (2020) sees that in terms of research, those
belonging to generation Z have no interest in being involved in participating
in various activities. social activism. Instead they use social media as a
means for the economy or just as a place to find entertainment only. Meanwhile,
Wijayanti (2020) sees that, when interactions between
young people have a higher literacy rate than the previous generation, they are
still vulnerable to virus propaganda that comes in various forms.
Public space is, according to Habermas
(1962/1989), a place where people can participate in lively debates about their
mutual affairs. This is an area where reason and equality are important bases
for the development of debates and opinions (Fraser, 1990). However, to
represent the changing perspective of society and the new position of social
media in the political process, conventional ideas about public space need to
be further developed. The processes that shape opinions and reflect on public
behavior on social media are more complex than those shown by definitions that
are no different from the original public space.
Today, almost every dimension of life seems blurred:
pleasure is the main motivator for attracting people to public affairs;
traditional hierarchical networks are gradually being replaced by horizontal
relations and decentralization; large-scale participatory behavior such as
protest activities or political activities alongside small-scale participatory
behavior such as posting in Indonesia. In addition, the introduction of
emerging digital media platforms adds complexity to the tendency to confuse
citizenship and culture.
In times like this where blurring is the norm, it is
almost difficult to apply conventional ideas about public space to understanding
the role of people in the democratic process. Public carnivalism
may be a valuable method for following the development of public space. It
helps understand how the pursuit of entertainment generates participation in
political affairs, how politically negligent people often establish a certain
level of political involvement through the use of social media, how social
media helps build alternative public domains where they can express their
desires (Fraser, 1990), and how diverse citizens can form diverse connections.
Current studies show that social media can function as a valuable and
attractive public space by encouraging people to participate in freer and more carnivalistic political processes.
It can be said that the use of social media as a
campaign tool is a product of the thought and reflection processes of the
actors. As part of a logical process, social activists build a shared identity
which is then divided into many camps. Social media then drives strategies to
reason, especially in the creation of identity. There is a direct description
of who is a friend, who is an enemy, as well as an analysis of problems and
solutions offered. Solidarity can come from anywhere, from anyone. Clearly,
social media is used as a tool to build and maintain unlimited unity among
actors. Social media encourages contemplation strategies because they succeed
in forcing responses to their demands by raising awareness of the opposition (counterhegemony) and regulating the flow of information.
Social media is a forum for conflicts of opinion on various topics that are the
subject of social activists' studies. In the end, the political feelings of
their struggle and demands must depend on their hegemonic articulation. This,
in the face of oppressive and authoritarian local governments, civil society
(grassroots) creates political influence through social media.
Furthermore, actors' efforts to combat any personal
attacks directed at their groups through social media can be read as tactics of
the actors in managing the flow of information. The public must receive
information from all parties, namely the pros and cons. So, the public must
consider which party's claim is stronger and more attractive. Given its freedom
in the context of being free from traditional mass media editorial practices,
social media operations were also chosen as a priority strategy. Actual action
is part of the actor's policy, in an effort to encourage democratic
representation. Therefore the continuity of the strategy from social media
activities to actual action is understood as the process of transforming the
movement strategy.
Real action is no longer seen as an initial tactic,
but rather as a goal that shows the existence of actors as activists who
protect the interests of the lower classes. Face-to-face meetings trigger
stronger resistance. Because of face-to-face meetings and constructive
experiences with local groups, they don't just organize a floating crowd.
Throughout the internet era, this strategy focused not only on the internet
(content) but also on access. Social media can manage the masses but there is
still a need for direct contact to reach the masses who do not have access to
social media. The combination of social media and face-to-face contact is the
best way to resist the flames of resistance within the group. That is, social
media will open up opportunities for individual rapid mobilization.
Kesimpulan
The use of social media
is closely related to the phenomenon of revolution 2.0, namely the use of
social media as an effort to gain power and the effects of the dynamics of the
political history of the community itself. Therefore social media
characteristics such as form, content and audience influence its use as a tool
for movement. The campaign approach is divided into two according to modern
social movements, namely goals and reflection. And that also involves a mixture
of both.
The number of young
people entering social movements as their publication media cannot be separated
from the mainstream media. The use of social media to form social movements is
very successful in attracting public interest. Youth activism in social media
is a policy balancing force, when the policy cannot overcome the problem of
social media, the youth movement brings problems to the mainstream, and it becomes
a matter of public interest, this youth movement is often a substitute for
government positions when the government is slow and cannot penetrate the
community in the smallest way possible.
Social media will promote
political engagement because it has effectively moved public issues into the
policy agenda. This success arises because social media interactions can be
transformed into practical practices.
