Student protests happen all the time.

Why did Bangladesh experience a full government capitulation, whereas Indonesia a couple years ago did not?

There are external factors that play a huge role here.

It's not like she conjured the policy out of thin air this year. It had stood for a while, there was just a big push this year.

Pushing bioessentialism on veterans in people's ancestry is cringe, but it's far from the worst thing that a head of state can do. It's pretty clear that she had the support of around 40% of the population.

The alternating approaches are not internally inconsistent; the motive is to continuously make you feel dependent, feel lesser.

I had to put up with this for years in my late teens. It made me want to run away but I had no sense of how the world worked and therefore no plan of where I could run to.

I hope there's someone in walking distance that you can confide in. Having this would have made my life back then immeasurably better.

Lots of people will just put their dog on a chain or in a cage outside, and then basically forget about the dog for 23 hours a day. It's cruel and inhumane.

Since 1981 you've had power going back and forth between Sheikh Hasina's Awami League party (social democrats who figured prominently in the war for independence but have been thoroughly compromised by neoliberalism) and Khaleda Zia's Bangladesh National Party.

The recent student protests could probably be characterized as Sheikh Hasina being left holding the bag when the chickens of corruption came home to roost, and then doubling down on an unpopular but not very consequential policy. After ~250 died at the hands of police and the protest movement kept growing to a point where it could threaten the operation of the political apparatus, the army did a coup- for the first time in 45 years or so. Then they installed an interim head of state who was a pioneer of microfinance, and were in talks with "all the opposition parties" to form a new government.

There's plenty more going on underneath the surface that our bulletin bears can embellish.

Genetically Neanderthal authors such as Richard Dawkins (crakkker undisputed) should not have civilized arguments with humans on Facebook.

Somehow this sounds no more stupid than what he wrote.
