Reunion 212 and About Information Economy

Jurnal Kini. Perhaps there are many things that make the government in particular and the public in general understand what the movement is 212. The core platform may remain the same, namely the expression of defending religion.

However, the 212 movement last week was very different from the original movement. In the past, it was an antipenista religion movement. Now it has evolved into a movement to defend the tauhid sentence.

Then, what is the connection with the information economy? Of course it is very closely related, although I will not explain what the definition of information economy is. In a nutshell like this. The decision to buy is strongly influenced by the way the seller delivers information to the buyer.

The more convincing information provided the greater the chance of getting a buyer. The more information touches the emotional side, the higher the selling price. That is what is called emotional premium, consumers are willing to pay expensive because the item reflects his identity.

As simple as that? Yes indeed. Let us examine why people want to come in droves to Monas last week. If it wasn't for an emotional touch, then what else? Maybe there is a party or mass organization that is mobilizing the period.

However, the amount must be far below the total mass that comes. The majority who came almost certainly because his heart was moved to come, somehow.

That's what is called emotional premium. Reunion 212 is the expression of the soul or inner participants.

Failure to understand things like this makes all of us mistaken about this movement. Political consultants were very surprised by the number of times that came. Some say 300 thousand, or 1 million, even 11 million people. No matter how much you count, it's wrong and that's not the point.

What is clear, the mass spilled from where it came from. If you see the number of buses from outside the city, surely the majority who come are from Jakarta and its surroundings. There are from outside, even outside the island. But the amount is small.

Return to emotional and mental problems. Economics has long provided the foundation for this matter and is very relevant in understanding the current political situation. If a product can be hooked into the subconscious, consumers have the miltancy to buy. Whatever the price, whatever the original quality. There is no connection between quality and price.

So in the political world today is the same. There is no clear connection between emotions built on the real issue. One of them is the issue of burning a black flag with the words tauhid. Indeed the "sort" flag was raised at the time the Prophet Muhammad and his army went to fight against the infidel forces. Black and white flags are war flags. You may not carelessly carry such flags.

However, after the flag burning incident in Garut, the narrative developed was defending the tauhid sentence and defending the Prophet. This is the problem. When the government has punished even the flag burners, the monotheistic sentiment has not been extinguished and has even increased.

There is clearly a very basic difference between the perception of monotheism and the true meaning of the flag. What is clear is that the perception of tauhid is more acceptable. This means that those who came to the demonstration at Monas interpreted their movements as expressions of defending the tauhid sentence through raising flags and black and white headbands. Simply put, they want to say "I am Islam" and "I am Bertauhid". You?

As economic theory says, when it comes to the soul, it becomes insignificant whether there is a connection between expression and the real issue. The problem then will this have significant implications for political choice? Habib Rizieq Shihab (HRS) himself has given a "fatwa" remotely to choose Prabowo-Sandi. In fact, in plain view more Islam is Jokowi-Ma'ruf Amin.

If the narrative developed by HRS and friends later succeeded in being manifested in the form of Prabowo-Sandi's vote acquisition, it also meant the failure of Jokowi-Ma'ruf Amin to be a psychological representation of Islam. This struggle at the level of perception and soul will later become the real battle field.
