I had never posted there before and if I was banned before I wouldn’t be able to press on Create Post. I checked but have never received a message before from r/bangladesh that I was banned. I think they have an automatic filter that picked up on the words ‘US sponsored coup’. Can someone post the same picture as me with the same text to see if this is not just a me thing? I checked, I can create comments in other subreddits but can’t post comments or posts in r/bangladesh anymore even though I didn’t receive a notification I’m banned. I can’t even see the list of moderators of r/bangladesh anymore.
But another reminder the Reddit is a US website with links to their government and a lot of national subreddits are compromised like r/afghanistan
The whole of reddit is compromised, this should be a wakeup call to anyone unaware; it is under control by US state actors and is as censored and controlled as any other mainstream liberal shitrag.
Id argue its even worse, as the bias and censorship is less obvious and more insidious thru botfarms, mass censorship of dissenting ideas to create the illusion of consensus towards US policy goals ect.
Fuck the US oligarchy.
To answer your original question, there is a recent Vijay Prashad interview about this topic. No link cuz phone.
He says that the priests erupted because of genuine reasons. However, after the ousting of Hasina, discussions between various groups including the student group took place at the US embassy. This indicates that US is opportunistically taking advantage of the instability.
He said that the new president being a microloan preddling pro-US Nobel Peace Prize laureate could be a move to keep the military off their backs. But I think it’s a bad sign signalling a lack of sovereignty.
okay, i can’t stay silent any longer.
i was hoping to make a post here in a few weeks/months about stuff, especially my perspective on the revolution since i literally fucking lived through it; but i keep seeing posts about my country pop up and keep seeing people devalue the shit people here went through under hasina’s government as “color revolution”. so guess i’m doing this early.
i doubt r/bangladesh has been CIA’d but definitely stay away from r/dhaka - that one has 100% been CIA’d based on recent discovery (where one of the mods is literally named westminister institute). try r/chekulars, it’s where the leftists hang out.
hindutva media has been peddling on and on and on about how this is an us-backed color revolution; coupled with exaggerating every little negative outcome that came from the aftermath of this revolution. nevermind the fact that this happened because the previous government:
- for the third fucking time tried to push this nepotistic bullshit quota law regarding jobs onto us where it’s only 42% merit-based, and among the rest of the 58% :- freedom fighters and their kids get 30% of the jobs just because they got freedom fighter blood, essentially making the class division even worse and deifying freedom fighters as some special people like how hasina deified her dad (nevermind the fact that he was AGAINST the independence of our country until the end, and people of our country even CELEBRATED his assassination!!! yeah! he was that fucking bad. and this news was published in physical newspapers in 1975 - which was not allowed to be accessed {the excuse they gave was “technical reasons”} until now)
- and the fact that the government couldn’t keep it in their pants, kept intimidating us and even let their guard dogs (chatro league, as well as the coppers+army) loose to hurt unarmed students and protesters like abu sayed or even mir mugdho, like they did back during the street protests a few years back. oh and did i mention they kept tampering with the internet like it’s some kind of plaything - in an attempt to keep us from alerting the rest of the internet about this? and the guy in charge kept giving dumbass excuses like “oh, the internet’s gone because data centers got destroyed, oopsie woopsie owo” or how “internet’s slow cause lots of people are using vpn (removed you keep censoring websites like crazy)” or how “internet’s slow because of maintenance”. nevermind the fact that cloudflare and telenor fucking reported that this was 100% government-sanctioned shutdown. but hey, these are the only things you can spout when you didn’t graduate with a compsci degree but a fucking degree in bangla and think so fucking low of your country’s people that you think they’d believe anything you throw in their faces. jesus christ.
literally, all the government had to do was keep their fucking mouth shut, swallow their fucking pride and ego; and give in to the protestor’s demands and stop trying to fucking push the godawful nepotistic law onto us for every fucking 4 years. that was literally it. this revolution never would’ve happened if she did that. but noooo, she just had to fucking show off her fucking might, her invincibility by mowing down unarmed protesters and even innocent kids!!! everyone in this country was pissed at her for a long time, hence why you didn’t see much resistance (and more people actually joining in).
i will say though, i wish people here stopped defending hasina so much. she’s not even leftist. i for one am glad that she’s gone, even if it doesn’t change a single situation regarding queer people like me, or the fact that the left (actual socialist/commie left) is still very much dead. but at the same time, people can actually say what’s on their mind now without worrying about chatro league assassins or coppers getting in their houses for “saying the wrong thing” or “believing the wrong thing”.
i’ll talk more about this in some other time, but, yeah. like i said, try posting in r/chekulars.
also maybe search about the color revolution shit on the subreddits/megathreads? since i’m sure it has been talked a lot already, with how much indian media has been hyperfocusing on it (as well as every single bad thing that’s happening here right now) now that their puppet is no longer in power.
also re: your r/afghanistan comment - r/afghans is the replacement for it.
also re: your mod comment - last i checked (which was a long time ago but still), i didn’t see any sussy usernames on the mod list. there are 2 active mods whose username i remember but idk if i should publicly post it here. if you’re worried about r/bangladesh’s moderation i guess try making a post about it on r/metabangladesh (the place r/bangladesh’s mods decided where meta posts should be allowed in after r/bangladesh used to get hordes and hordes of meta posts in the past) or - again, in r/chekulars?
Indian media does not care about the “colour revolution” aspect of it. In fact Hindutva media for some reason never ever criticises USA regardless how warranted it may be. They are mischaracterising it as an agitation led by the Islamist far right and hyperfocusing on the violence against the Hindu Banglas.

Thank you for your perspective. That’s what lacking, a Bengali perspective. I agree with you about Hasina, but was very confused about how to view the new leadership. That’s why I was asking around.
no worries, sorry if i came off as harsh/angry. i’m just frustrated by people who seem to be so quick on throwing “color revolution! color revolution!” tags without understanding the overall situation that led to this to happen in the first place.
but was very confused about how to view the new leadership
iirc, yunus was a wanted man here during hasina’s times. so that probably explains why he came back after hasina ran away (ironic and hypocritical, given that she said “she doesn’t run away” on press conference when people - back during the revolution - thought she’d run away and ask for asylum in spain when she had a diplomatic mission thing going on in spain)
but i’ve seen most people agreeing that yunus is a good leader for us right now, especially when 100% hitler (far-right islamist parties like BNP-Jamaat-IAB) are right in the corner. also the only other popular political parties around now that 99% hitler - the BAL has been ousted; and the bangladeshi left continues to be a fucking skeleton. i mean, could you blame them? the west pakistani government and later all the bd governments from daddy mujib to zia to ershad did a good job defangling the then-strong bangladeshi left; and now all the islamists and muslim clerics over here have engraved “communism/socialism = atheist = anti-islam” into peoples’ brains. and considering how fucking die-hard people here have gotten with their religion as of late…
but i’m seeing some people trying to revitalize it too though, so who knows. one thing’s for sure - the left’s not popular here and i think i would’ve been a bit more happier and intrigued if this revolution was led by leftists, or was a socialist revolution (a la the october revolution) led by maybe all the lefty students in chatro union/moitri along with the guys in the left democratic alliance? oh well.
apparently the students who led this revolution are also making a political party of their own, so that might be another popular opposition for the time being. doubt it’s gonna be a very leftist one for sure. but defo not far-right.
i would’ve said “i think it’s weird how it’s THIS out of many previous protests that have succeeded in ousting the government”, but i guess people care more about being able to get jobs (in a country where there’s already enough unemployment as it is) than getting safer streets. coupled with the fact that the people here have been dealing with hasina’s bs for a decade.
also the abysmal shit hasina did while the revolution was going on (stuff like crying crocodile tears at the fact that her metro rail station that she “worked so hard on making” {while at the same time embezzling some of the money needed to make the station; to her son who lives in america} being destroyed by the “evil rioters” and how it’d take “a million years” before it’d be back up again {lmfao. 1 year my ass}. or how she called the protestors razakars {traitors} certainly didn’t help)
these are fine points but it’s unfortunately how a color revolution works - they hijack whatever real contempt there is in society
without understanding the overall situation that led to this to happen in the first place.
HK riots first happened because HKers rightfully did not want to be extradited to China, which they consider a pretty foreign place. a HK man killed his girlfriend in Taiwan and he was to be extradited to China. CIA-controlled media spun it as “CCP” bad HKers want to be free from them meanwhile… https://youtu.be/XoyGc41wcwc the US was behind the scenes pulling the strings

what are your thoughts on “If I Handed St Martin Island to the U.S., I’d Still Be PM”- Former Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina
why are we taking the words of a hypocritical professional yapper who - said she doesn’t run away, only to run away when students were about to get into the gonobhobon (prime minister’s house) - seriously?
once again, she implies that all this happened only because uncle sam was denied from getting his toys; nevermind the fact that she kept pushing the quota law onto us and kept flexing her muscle whenever we tried to talk against it. we tried to do this peacefully, but she decided to intimidate us and gun us down instead. none of us even had guns, just sticks and stones at best. and yet that’s enough to frighten hasina’s goons into gunning us down. something about if peaceful resolution/revolution is impossible, violent revolution becomes inevitable.

a lot of national subreddits are compromised like r/afghanistan
I’d assume any r/country is modded by people in a US government controlled agency or institution.
Amen
reddit is controlled by the CIA https://www.mintpressnews.com/jessica-ashooh-reddit-national-security-state-plant/277639/
you know how Americans think all Chinese corporations are controlled by the “CPC”? That’s literally how the US is with large tech companies.
Reddit literally has a CIA person on their board
what i think is more likely is that like of lot of liberal communities they have a lists of communities that they automatically ban anyone who is subscribed to them, and that list is mostly leftist communities
As you can see I can’t comment there anymore

of course an indian would come along and defend hasina and her daddy without giving a single fuck about the atrocities and the harm they did to us and to this country
From the posts shared by Bangladeshi muslims on social media and on various channels, it is very clear that most people see Mujibar as a traitor for adhering to secular/socialist politics and waging war against Razakars (the islamist militias who killed hindus ).
no, dumbfuck. people here hate mujibor rahman because his daughter kept deifying, glorifying his ass just because he gave a few good speeches about independence and “spent years and years in prison”. also because the truth about him got leaked out and people now understand why major dalim killed his tyrannical ass. consider reading “amar fashi chai” sometimes rather than consuming wion, please?
also, razakars were east pakistanis who aided with the west pakistanis during the time of the liberation war, not “ISLAMiSt MilITIAS WhO kilLED HINdus”. i want to slap you in the face for even making such a statement like that, fucking wannabe hindutva with your “hInDu KhAtRe MeIn HeI” and “MUSlIMS Are KiLLing, Sa-InG the pOoR PooR hInduS” bullshit.
also lmfao on the socialist part when mujib did an excellent job silencing prominent socialists like siraj shikdar and defangling CPB/JASOD who during the time were going pretty strong. he illegalized all political parties and only allowed BAKSAL - HIS fucking political party to be the only legal political party to be around. he’s not even a fucking marxist, let alone a “socialist” scoff.
It is very clear that future Bangladesh will be an islamist one, they will purge every literature related to secularism Or pluralism of religions and may expel the hindu minority to India.
things are not set in stone yet you fucking dumb removed. the interim government is supposed to last 3 years, and the revolutionaries are making a political party of their own. given the amount of people who sided with them, people would actually be likely to listen to them over the now-weakened-to-hell CPB-JASOD. not everyone here supports BNP-Jamaat, i’ve seen countless posts talking about being against BNP and some against Jatiyo Party, Jamaat and IAB. at least fucking wait until that happens before you keep going on and on and on about “muh islamism! muh islamism!”. it’s embarrassing, given that your own media admits that hindus weren’t any safe under BAL.
i seriously doubt that the next government will try to “eXPeL the HindU mINOrity to INDia” like you claim. and re: “They wILl PURge evERy litErAture ReLatEd To sECularISm or pLurALism of RELIGiOnS” - don’t you think they (jamat/shibir) would’ve done it already by now? since no one’s really there to stop them?
Bangladeshi people see India as an adversary for giving them independence or because they see the independence of Bangladesh as an act of separatism from their bigger ummah (Pakistan).
removed what the fuck are you on about? you guys are the ones who:
- opens flood gates of the dams that y’all made around the rivers of this country every fucking year and let us get flooded every time it rains over here and for y’all. only to close it down when it’s dry for y’all, thereby not letting us have any water or fish from naturally flowing rivers.
- literally murdered felani, a 15 year old minor girl from our country for the crimes of… crossing the border?
- you guys call any indian bangalis (west bengalis) who don’t bow down to your hindutvadi shenanigans as illegal bangladeshis and treat them as such.
- and if we’re going to be religious, you guys persecute the muslim minorities of your own country. something that people of our country don’t like.
- also did i mention spreading misinformation about what’s going on in this country, exaggerating the negative outcomes and happenings? stuff like pulling out old footages/pictures and using those to push your own narratives? i still remember that y’all used a picture of a woman member who used to be part of BAL being tied up in a public park and tried to pass it off as “hInDu WoMeN aRe In DaNgEr!!!” nevermind the fact that this woman likely isn’t even hindu and people tied her up because people were fucking pissed at anyone who were part of BAL. not because she was hindu or whatever. 🙄
- tried to have greater access on our country while giving us no fucking benefits by getting full access to mongla port and tried to make a railroad that crossed through our country to the 7 sisters.
- the previous government was super fucking busy exporting all the hilshas of our country to y’all without leaving any for us.
also lmfao at calling us “bangladeshi people” when fucking “bangladeshis” would’ve sufficed.
we don’t hate you because y’all gave us independence (nevermind the fact that the USSR also had a part in this, but sure let’s take all the credit shall we?). we hate you because y’all don’t see us as actual people and just exploit us. stop trying to act like you know about us and stop consuming godi/hindutva media and treating it as facts ffs.
bangladeshis were the ones who LITERALLY FUCKING WANTED independence back then. maulana fucking bhashani who - no doubt you’d call him an islamist because he keeps a beard and shit, nevermind the fact that he was a goddamn fucking leftist - led the independence movement and had to convince your beloved daddy mujib that you love defending so much who was pro-pakistan till the end - into giving the speeches in 1971. why else do you think the 1952 language movement and then the 1969 mass uprisings happened? why do you think the pro-independence awami league of that time won the 1970s elections? because people here wanted their bangali identity, their bangla language to be erased just to be “part of the fucking ummah”? give me a fucking break.
you know not a goddamn fucking thing about the history of this country. you’re just parrotting whatever godi media feeds you.

Did I say it was fake, or that 0 hindus were hurt after Hasina was toppled anywhere?
I made that statement because this user was acting like only hindus were killed by the razakars during the liberation war. This was not related to the revolution that went through our country recently.
Swing and a miss.

Did you read the whole thing actually? Because it seems like you’re only hyperfocusing the “mocking” part. The context was right there.
This user was providing a false definition to the term, “Razakar”. Razakars weren’t “IsLaMiSt MiLiTaS wHo KiLLeD hInDuS”, they were east pakistanis who aided with the west pakistanis during the time of the liberation war in 1971. To say hindus were their only targets would be disgusting, as I’m sure many muslims were killed in the process as well. The liberation war wasn’t just fought by hindus ffs.
Why is Lemmygrad-Hexbear so eager to drink the Hindutva/Indian coolaid regarding us?

Dude you keep making alt accounts to evade your ban and they all end up being caught after a few days. The next step is we’re gonna ban you again, we’re gonna delete your post and comments in one click, and then what? You’re gonna make more accounts? Give it a rest and move on, or change as a person so much so that we don’t have reasons to ban you any more.
words can’t describe just how thankful i am for you to take an action like this. i was getting sick and tired of seeing the grad get infected with hindutva narrative about our country by people who don’t even live here. it’s like watching your family getting worse over time. it hurts, genuinely.
