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.
Occupied Palestine had made it much harder for most Bangladeshis to assimilate completely (we have the based AF no entry to Zionist entity) but the reactionary south Asian shitlib politics is bursting through the seams.
Like no shit since my parents were working class immigrants who came to the US to make money and they didn't have the time or education I had to study Marxism, but sometimes it's tiring to hear them sound no better than the Trumper who sits on his lawn all the day watching cars zoom past.
My family is happy that Sheikh Hasina is gone, but I don't think they can see the forest for the trees.
Is it as bad as hindu nationalists laying themselves on the floor and inviting zionists to stomp on them?
Pretty much, you'll get people saying Hamas bad (in the whole bothsidesy way) and that Indians are secretly trying to take over Bangladesh. My Dad pretty much reverts into anti-Indian racism when he runs out of actual material analysis instead of shutting up.
In my experiences no, being on the receiving end of the Hindu nationalists persecution has seem to made the rest of south Asian Diaspora politics a bit better
