Bangladesh is suffering a nationwide internet shutdown as students armed with sticks and hurling stones clash with police in protests against the government that reports said have left at least 39 people dead.
This Bangladeshi quota bill is so fucking stupid, and laughable. Understandable that we should give some benefits to the immediate descendants, but 30% reservation for the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the 1971 liberation war? All these years, in this capitalist system, you’ve tortured these kids to embrace meritocracy (which again, is a sham) as the only way to escape poverty, and now you’ve shot in their fucking foots, stole their only hope.
Yes, it’s just a vote bank for the current PM. But I think it’s probably a very dumb move, as even the people who’ll benefit from it are speaking out against it.
