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.
As you can see I can’t comment there anymore
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
okay, i can’t stay silent any longer.
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, 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 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? 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”. 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 hasina thought for some unfathomable reason, you’d be perfect in the position of an IT minister.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
I am a bengali from India. Those sub reddits are no good and are filled with idiotic people, be it India or bangladesh.
-
The event is not totally a coup but it’s a change of orientation of the society of bangladesh itself. It’s similar to the Euro maidan movement of Ukraine where people had accusations against Yankuvich but instead the elements of far right took over the country.
-
Bangladesh since the military junta in 1975 after the assassination of Mujibar Rehman drifted towards Islamism and have never recovered. With the help of gulf countries and salafist ideas they have gone towards strong sectarian ideas.
-
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 ). 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 hindus to India.
-
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).
-
Sheikh hasina’s position is similar to Assad in Syria. Assad tried to deal with the libs which were coopted by Islamist hardliners. Here it is the same case, the Islamist hardliners are having a field day while Bangladeshi pseudo libs make the face for their country. That’s why there is a strong libs support from students who put charge Yonus as the man for the interim government of the country while the internal chaos and revenge against Awami league , secularist ideas will be in full force.
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 to be the only legal political party to be around. and 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. 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.
- 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.
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.
Haha… You got islamized and got caught up with BNP propaganda inside your country. Our CPIM (which Vijay Prashad is a member of) has the same opinion. Irrespective of left or right wing, Mujibur Rehman is respected here because he fought against Islamism and tyrannical rule of Pakistan and stopped the bengali genocide. It’s you who has been brainwashed by your islamist media along with Bangladeshi pseudo liberals who see Mujibar as anti national much like Indian liberals hate Nehru for the same reason.
I don’t have energy to go through your idiotic rant about opening the dam and fake propaganda related to India. The TLDR is… You have strong Islamism inside your country similar to Pakistan… It’s no joke that Ansarallah bangla team maulavi got freed by interim government. Until you purge your BNP, jamat and other terrorists organizations you have no right to criticize Sheikh Hasina. Hasina defended minorities from the wrath of Islamists it’s no wonder you people hate her and see her as a threat.
Again, we opened the dam not because we thought it would be a good opportunity to drown Bangladeshis , we opened it because of excessive rain , obviously everything India is doing has to be evil… Because "we are pagan worshippers and have inborn malice in our hearts… " Bla bla bla… For the economy, you attained highest economic growth due to Hasina’s policies obviously the islamist and nationalist would say India is looting.
Your path is similar to Ukraine and Pakistan, IMF loans and religious sectarianism. I hope you will all change your national song to Pakistan’s national anthem and purge kafir tagore and "idiotic " Pagan language that is bengali. Lol… Good luck 🤞
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.
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.
Are the attacks against Hindus fake? Were zero Hindu men and women hurt in Bangladesh due to recent events?
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.
Gotcha, the way you worded it sounded like you were denying it. Since you agree that some Islamists have already hurt Hindus in recent events, I don’t understand what you meant by mockingly paraphrasing a hypothetical person who is protesting the violence against Hindus.
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?
Understood, I just misread your comment because of the mixup between present and past tenses.

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
