While it literally means People's Misery Message (I really don't know how to translate it properly, sorry), it suggests that people are unified by common misery, that was brought by the colonials (in Indonesian sense is Dutch).

similar to European fagging were found at Harvard as early as 1657 (Nuwer, 1999). Early hazing at America’s colleges, like those in England centered upon personal servitude. However, unlike their English predecessors, fellow students did not dictate the terms of servitude, the faculty did. read more
