[CW: self-harm] BadEmpanada has no clue about what's happening in Bangladesh...
I saw this new video of BadEmpanada on Bangladesh. As someone from India, I cringed so hard:
According to BadEmpanada, it is a revolution of the proletariat 🤡. The students protest, which was marked by the death of a young man, shot by a copper pig, turned into a violent riot, which was then conveniently hijacked by the populist military switching sides, just to commit a coup.
And then they finally install a interim puppet of the US. Yep, that microfinance Nobel laureate guy, Mohammad Yunus, who is responsible for a disastrous loan system that has caused farmers and small business owners to common suicide in droves in South Asia.
For software engineers out here, Narayan Murthy, the capitalist chuckle-fuck running a IT sweatshop, and father-in-law of Rishi Sunak, endorses this guy. Villains looking out for each other, amirite?
Haseena's claim that the US wanted to set their air base on St Martin’s Island to dominate the Bay of Bengal seems to make a lot of sense, given USA's anti-Chinese policies. I mean, the US is know for backing color revolution.
the leftists in Bangladesh have been very, very weak, probably after seeing the failures of Jyoti Basu in West Bengal, and have never secured a significant amount of seats. The Awami League, despite being centrist, was a majority party that prevented the descent of the mad fascist Bangladesh Nationalist Party, who are allied with the extremist Jamaat-e-Islami, a religious expansionist group. But not, there's no one stopping them to win the next election.
BadEmpanada also removed several comment which called him out for his ignorance on South Asia. I should've taken a screenshot, because it was so well-written.
Edit: yup, he is deleting comments, lmao. Another thread gone to dust, because he could not answer.
I thought this was what he was always like. People here mentioned him only every now and again and I was always a little surprised because I thought he was a regular lib.
Anyone else notice a lot of odd noise on social media over this? And I mean lots of denials that the US had anything to do with it. Maybe I’m paranoid, but I also notice this sort of thing when coups in Latin America happen, so makes sense that there would also be astroturfing regarding this event.
He is an arrogant guy and very abrasive. He says lot of baseless shit at times.
The whole affair in Bangladesh looks like a gladio op. Hasina at first took time to say ISI was involved. Now she is saying US interfered.
The small business loans, sks loan shit is from pierre omidyar and de soto who ran peru into the ground. Of course this yunus is also affiliated with them. I've seen too many news outlets pushing the "noble prize winner".
Funny that narayana murthy is also jumping in.
Situation surrounding Mizoram, Myanmar and Bangladesh has not been good. The refugee crisis since Myanmar coup has gotten worse. Even just recently rohingya people escaping died in a drone attack on a boat. It just gets worse.
I like BE 80% of the time and think people often act hysterical about him, but fucking hell is he spiraling right now. Just doing contrarianism with no consistency
His work on Che is good, his stances on Israel are essentially perfect, his Columbus videos are not particularly Marxist but are good, his video on Fujimori is a great resource for a subject most english speaking leftists are utterly clueless on same goes for his Shining Path video. It is silly to treat his work as always generic western libshit. That would just be ignoring reality in the service of a clear narrative. We are better than that
Wow, this tweet is just full of so much misinformation, I'm laughing out of my ass. Blud blatantly denies the existence of STs, SCs and OBCs, just wow.
