Tldr: Bangladesh 🇧🇩 not doing so hot right now. Thoughts as a diaspora imperial core desi who lives a very comfortable life.
I feel really immature right about now. For a good while I just kept denying the color revolution hints to the point where even my very lib Dad was able to point them out. Feel like such a complete jackass, it just feels so fucking different when you're in the moment and it's your country down the line. That doesn't mean I don't have the same solidarity for all global south nations but this one just felt so personal. What's happening in Bangladesh right now seems like nothing compared to the horrific struggle that West Asia has endured, but I guess I'm joining the club. 
But yeah, they literally took over my country and there's nothing I, a diaspora bengali, can do about it. Sometimes it feels like I have survivors guilt, that I got out of the country and immigrated to the imperial core (well my parents did) where I could live a far more comfortable life while a lot of my peers even here in the US are living much harder lives. 
This is also compounded by the fact that I live in a white picket fence neighborhood where every neighborhood family are Trumpers or respectful Kamala-ists who are just "simple folk" out raising their family. My dad recently hanged up an American flag and a Bangladeshi flag on our lawn and now I'm just sick even thinking about it. 
I might just tell my dad to take it american flag down if not both (he keeps telling me there's some homeowner association "law" that you have to have the USian flag alongside other flags). The only thing that really cheers me up besides treats is Yahya Sinwar and the axis of resistance taking Israel down screw by screw.
Fuck the USA. I will never forget this moment in my entire fucking life. I just feel very off right now and this was my vent post. Part of me wishes that this wasn't a takeover, but that part of me is slowly going away every passing second.
Ah fuck, I was wondering about the political nature of the bangladesh revolution. Can you give me any more details on how you know it is a color revolution?
Oh it's color revolution time. The Imperialists have had their eye on Bangladesh for a long time through NGOs and infiltrators. The bangladeshi diaspora is filled with western trained liberals who owe their comfortable lives to their former colonizers. I almost became one of them until I got my liberal nose broken by the Zionist entity.
Ah damn, my understanding was that the protests started reasonably for reasonable reasons but were met with such force that they escalated into something more. That's really unfortunate I was hopeful.
When I saw that the military was taking control I had doubts tho to be fair
This is so well put! It is a perfect description of what so many leftists, including myself have experienced. I was well on my way, but don’t think I could fully divorce myself from liberalism until the contradictions were so severe that it felt like a punch in the face.
In the last three months of 2023 had me staggering, in a daze, ears ringing, nose bleeding, looking around half focused to try to make sense of reality.
