Politikus, Penulis, atau Aktivis?

Dialog YM suatu dinihari. Sudah diedit, tentunya.

Kuda : LOL

[Merujuk kepada status YM saya yang lebih kurang begini bunyinya,

"Untuk menjadi kaki demo, perlu terer geografi supaya tahu tempat untuk menyelinap masuk dan laluan tersembunyi. (terpaksa bercuti sekejap daripada menjadi radikal kerana menjaga reputasi sebagai calon YB)"]

kucing belang : wats funny

Kuda : so panglima berkuda memegang jarum suntik tak leh radikal sangat eh?

kucing belang : terpaksa

kucing belang : new thing i've learnt

kucing belang : politician and activist

kucing belang : are two different things

Kuda : LOL

kucing belang : if i want to be one, i have to tone it down on the other

Kuda : you're turning

Kuda : more into a politician

kucing belang : not turning, strategizing

Kuda : ahaa..

Kuda : even the Prophet s.a.w. strategized..

kucing belang : merana gak aku sbnrnye

kucing belang : dah berapa kali aku mengeluh, i'd rather be a penulis jalanan

kucing belang like sham rais

kucing belang : or faisal tehrani though he's more elite and not so jalanan

kucing belang : free to say whatever i want to say, dont care shit about what ppl thinks and still have ppl paying attention to what i said

kucing belang : which i have enjoyed to a certain extent - though limited to the context of student life in uk-manchester je

Kuda : ooo

kucing belang : tp somehow the more practical side of me started to 'get' it - with a bit more power u could actually do something authoritatively

kucing belang : rather than simply shout and scream about it and wait for other people to act like writers

Kuda : ahaa

kucing belang : or act and shout and scream and get largely ignored like a lot of frontliner activists

[my note : in NO WAY i am belittling writers and activists!! without these people there won't be humanity, so to speak, and politicians would just hoggle everything to fill their haystacks. hehe.]

Kuda : haha

Kuda : hmm i see

Kuda : so a new dimension for u then

Kuda : jd ko boleh claim

Kuda : i am a writer, activist, n politician

kucing belang : that sound too snobbish

Kuda : ye la

Kuda : ak tak la kate ko pergi buat that as a banner ke ape

Kuda : kire ko dah experience them all

kucing belang : it's best if you seem, act, and think like those - not necessarily proclaim urself as =D

Kuda : true true..

kucing belang : : we need a lot of writers and activists

kucing belang : a lot of them are already around

kucing belang : : but we don't have that many politicians

kucing belang : : especially on the islamic side

kucing belang : i don't mean it in a "i'm-better-than-you-guys-so-i'm-up-for-the-higher-plane-of-existence-" thing, it's just practical

kucing belang : hahahahaha

Kuda : agree

Kuda : a lot of ppl talk abt becoming the next nik nazmi

Kuda : but nobody actually does

kucing belang : iconic sgt la nik nazmi tu

Kuda : ops..

Kuda : silap icon

Kuda : haha

Kuda : well bangku yg kata la

Kuda : im echoing him

Kuda : anak sedara nik nazmi ade dkt sini

Kuda : ak stalk nik nazmi melalui anak sedare die

kucing belang : dulu aku pun jenis icon-worshipper

kucing belang : skrg largely ceased to be so - perhaps it's better self-esteem and maturity kot, i'm more comfortable in tracing my own pathway rather than looking up at some icons as a lodestar

kucing belang : ko pehal stalk stalk org nih

kucing belang :

Kuda : a lot of ppl talk abt becoming the next nik nazmi

Kuda : but nobody actually does

kucing belang : explain further?

Kuda : maksudnye among the activist

Kuda : ade yg berangan nak jadi next nik nazmi la

Kuda : at least ade la that notion

Kuda : but in the end

Kuda : i dont see them really becoming one

Kuda : kire cakap je kot

kucing belang : haha

(saya bukanlah politikus. jauh sekali bercita-cita menjadi politikus. hanya sekarang tercampak dalam kancah politik kampus - atas nama Islam dan keadilan. berpolitik kerana obligasi, dan kerana obligasi itulah maka saya harus berfikir(berangan-angan?) dan berkelakuan(berlagak?) seperti politikus!)
