His ideology makes it difficult for him to be accepted by his environment. Entering adulthood when sitting on the bench at Gie's lectures became even more complicated. On campus, which should have been free from the effects of the state's political struggles, turned out to be an arena for political tricks and intrigues for existing parties. When the country was in crisis due to the post-G30S crisis, he was active in the movement to overthrow the Old Order regime.

But what happened was the emergence of a new regime. When the people around him began to adapt to the new regime, he still adhered to the principle of an independent human being. His writings in the newspapers attacked everything he thought was wrong.
