People’s Dispatch makes a similar note in their coverage https://peoplesdispatch.org/2024/08/05/sheikh-hasina-resigns-as-prime-minister-and-leaves-bangladesh-following-mass-protests/
Hasina’s government and her Awami League party had alleged that the violent protests were initiated as a part of a conspiracy against the elected government. Hasina had accused the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) of collaborating with Jamaat-e-Islami, an extremist group, to provoke violence across the country in order to bring regime change in the country as they could not win popular elections.
According to a source on the ground, the violence during the quota reform movement was used by the imperialist powers led by the US to orchestrate regime change in the country. They also claimed that the new regime would be used to undo the secular and progressive reforms initiated by the Hasina government during her four terms.
In January’s national elections in Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina had won her fourth straight term as prime minister since 2009. This was her fifth term as prime minister in total. She was first elected as prime minister in 1996. The US had questioned the legitimacy of the last elections in January.
They put out this tweet calling for everyone to join up with the right wing uprising.
Woke, powerful enough to rule the world while being universally rejected.

Oh it will, remember a lot of Trump’s supporters think the Dems are Communists in the first place.
They’re putting fluoride TikTok in the drinking water to make our children stupid!
A lot of it is due to the ideological education of this society. They can see, as anyone who bothers to look, that this country is messed up. The problem though is the immense anti-communist ideology in this society. So they are cut off from real solutions from the start. They’ve been taught that the solutions to the problems are the causes of the problems. The only answers they can see are down roads that will only make things worse instead of better.
He knows this is incitement too because he edited it once to add on “to get them out of the way.” to make it sound like he’s just talking about moving them. His original post just said to “take matters into your hands.”
I guess the way I understand it is that while the sanctions are still there without monitors they have a bit more room to maneuver.
I didn’t say it was good or right. It’s just a sad consequence.
Some of this is just conservatism and some of this is blowback from the West’s so called “championing” read weaponization of LGBTQ rights.

That’s exactly why, they discovered that blatant fascism generates resistance. So they go for obscurant fascism, plausibly deniable fascism. As long as they can keep enough people thinking “it’s not that bad yet” they get to keep playing.
I swear they have some person in a basement somewhere chained to a PC just to churn out variations of this image.
Easy PR for western audiences while simultaneously breeding homophobia in anti western forces that can be weaponized against them later. The Dollar Empire loves this shit.

The only way he’ll push anything is by calling the National Guard on it and they’ll shove it while chanting “Move! Move! Move!”
