As Andry Rajoelina, Madagascar’s president, fled the country earlier this month, before generals seized control of the island nation, he may not have had time to take in the sight of a flag held aloft by protesters bearing the symbol of a skull-and-crossbones wearing a straw hat. Demonstrators from Generation Z, who have rattled leaders from Nepal and Indonesia to Morocco, Peru and now Madagascar, have rallied under the same image, taken from a Japanese manga featuring a group of misfits fighting a corrupt and oppressive regime.
本月早些時候,在將軍接管這個島國之前,馬達加斯加總統安德里?拉喬利納(Andry Rajoelina)逃離了該國,他或許都來不及看見抗議者舉起的一面旗幟——上面是戴著草帽的骷髏與交叉骨。來自Z世代(Generation Z)的示威者——他們從尼泊爾、印尼到摩洛哥、秘魯,如今又到馬達加斯加,已令各地領導人不安——一直在同一圖像之下集結。該圖像取自一部日本漫畫,講述一群“異類”對抗腐敗、壓迫政權的故事。
