The existence of hoax news and the spread of radical ideas lately can bring problems and long tails. In fact, its massive circulation and spread is quite troubling for the community and can destroy the fundamentalism and joints of our nationality, which in turn destroys the divided nation of Indonesia.
If there is no caution, the community and especially citizens are easily consumed by hoax hoaxes and the radical propaganda gibberish and even spread it, of course it will be very detrimental to the stability of our unity and nationality.
Therefore a movement is needed to educate and invite the public to be wiser and alert in digesting information and the dangers of radical understanding and to be able to actively post positive content that fosters optimism and a sense of unity in order to ward off hoaxes, negative propaganda and the spread of radical understanding for the success of National Development which is currently underway actively implemented by the Government for the next 5 years in order to achieve the ideals of Indonesia Forward.
For the success of the movement against hoaxes and the spread of radicalism to ensure the realization of national development, only a few simple ways are needed to help identify hoax news and original news and not be fooled by radical propaganda.
Among these are the community or citizens should not be easily provoked by provocative titles. The reason is that hoaxes and propaganda radicalism often use sensational titles that are provocative and anesthetize and pay close attention to the address of the atsu media site, if they come from sites or media that have not been verified as official press institutions – for example using a blog domain, the information can be considered dubious and misleading.
Therefore, the role of the community, media people and citizens is expected to contribute to the growth of the nation’s sense of optimism from a variety of news, opinions and content that can succeed in various national development programs because the media sphere, especially social media and other alternative media, has proven to be a major driver in generate diverse opinions.
Even though we are basically not the same, we must work together to support democratically and constitutionally elected national leadership for the success of national development in the next 5 years to achieve the ideals of advanced Indonesia.
Basically I, you, we can all be heroes in this age by contributing in creative and positive ways to realize the progress of the nation.
Let us maintain our national ties, the diversity of our archipelago and our shared feelings to fill the independence that has been fought for and fought over by the heroes of the Kusuma Nation by uniting against hoaxes and radicalism in order to realize the progress of a peaceful and prosperous nation.
Happy Heroes Day and thank you Kusuma Nation Heroes
