  • I have no love for a military coup but I would like to know(genuinely asking) why the US would want to get rid of hasina.

    Bangladesh has been one of the most friendly nations for foreign capital. Also their economy has been insanely neoliberal. They have extremely regressive taxation, 100+ special economic zones. Tax breaks, legal protections, generous fiscal incentives, concessions on imports, unrestricted exit policy(??? This is insane), one stop service for facilitation of foreign investors.

    What exactly did she do that irked the US so much? Looks more like a protest that got hijacked by the military(maybe after this erupted there was intervention to make sure the new person wasn’t left leaning? But that’s far from the US orchestrating the coup)














  • I mean yes they aren’t allowed legally etc but most people don’t care about parental overreach where I am. And most landlords will just evict a tenant if they know there’s a possibility of people showing up making a ruckus etc, more trouble than worth etc.

    Again not an absolute certainty because they’re getting old but a possibility I need to consider… All this for something I’m not even sure about and was not even a thought for most of my life.


  • Unfortunately they care but are losers lol. And I have reason to believe that they’ll uh… pursue their self appointed quest. It’s a coin flip since I’ve known them to do more for less but at the same time getting old so who even knows. And beyond that there’s just the regular hate crimes and stuff to be wary of.

    Edit: maybe relevant but I’m not in the states/West so legal advice might not be applicable


  • I’d argue that they do actually care which is why they will never accept it because of their beliefs(I’ll burn in hell for eternity etc). If they didn’t care they’d be like eh nothing to do with me. I have moved out, could never even consider this otherwise, quite literally when I lived there I didn’t have the space in my head to think about identity or introspect or care about how I looked at all lol. But safety does remain an issue because… Idk how far people might go to try and save me lol.
