yeah, i heard about this a while back.

very funny that the 3 letter agency using you and throwing you away (like they always do) is considered good but joining the soviets and them welcoming you back like you're family is considered bad somehow. did they switch the ending names by any chance?

huh. weird thing to use as propaganda. where did this originate from?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

......i implied this when i said this in the post.

or at least, not as problematic as with the newer cod games?

because i refuse to play any game that’s just pure crystallized american state propaganda and talks shit about the USSR

......i know this.

hence why i said "not as problematic as with the newer cod games? because i refuse to play any game that’s just pure crystallized american state propaganda and talks shit about the USSR"

because i know that after cod waw, it starts to dive deep into us propaganda territory.

i only made this post to know if the games with soviet campaigns (classic cod games like cod 2003 and cod 2) are good or not, since i haven't picked them up yet but would still like to know beforehand, since there's no leftist reviewer out there.

jesus.

the first mission for the soviets you get ammo without a rifle

...? why?

get shot if you go backwards

i guess to prevent desertion from your comrades?

idk, i need more context (or i need to play the game) to understand this more clearly.

i've finished playing COD WAW the other day and idk, i haven't seen any "soviets are as bad as the nazis" bs.

did you mean those scenes that portray them committing "atrocities" on the nazis by shooting nazis that wanted to surrender? or the scenes where red army showed them no mercy? or the red army telling nazis/germans once they entered berlin to "abandon your homes, your posts, all hope"? or the fact that reznov or the commissar was very zealous about wanting to take down nazis, to the point of enjoying it? or the part where the red army were killing nazis "that couldn't harm them or were too injured to fight back"?

if that's the case then i still loved it, never once did i think it was weird or that they tried to portray the soviets as "equally as bad" or anything. on the contrary, it only got me more psyched and look forward to the soviet missions more. so i can play as the red army and teach nazis a lesson. because really, screw them. t(^^

i know COD WAW is one of them where it has the best portrayal of the soviets, but the other COD games where you also get to play as the soviets/red army soldier like in the original COD (COD 2003) and in COD 2 - are they just as good? or at least, not as problematic as with the newer cod games?

because i refuse to play any game that's just pure crystallized american state propaganda and talks shit about the USSR. fuck off with that shit.

figured i'd post it here too since hexbear has more activity than the grad ~~but i'm still a grad patriot so crossposting it is instead lmao~~

but yeah, any thoughts?

words can't describe just how thankful i am for you to take an action like this. i was getting sick and tired of seeing the grad get infected with hindutva narrative about our country by people who don't even live here. it's like watching your family getting worse over time. it hurts, genuinely.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

why are we taking the words of a hypocritical professional yapper who - said she doesn't run away, only to run away when students were about to get into the gonobhobon (prime minister's house) - seriously?

once again, she implies that all this happened only because uncle sam was denied from getting his toys; nevermind the fact that she kept pushing the quota law onto us and kept flexing her muscle whenever we tried to talk against it. we tried to do this peacefully, but she decided to intimidate us and gun us down instead. none of us even had guns, just sticks and stones at best. and yet that's enough to frighten hasina's goons into gunning us down. something about if peaceful resolution/revolution is impossible, violent revolution becomes inevitable.

of course an indian would come along and defend hasina and her daddy without giving a single fuck about the atrocities and the harm they did to us and to this country

From the posts shared by Bangladeshi muslims on social media and on various channels, it is very clear that most people see Mujibar as a traitor for adhering to secular/socialist politics and waging war against Razakars (the islamist militias who killed hindus ).

no, dumbfuck. people here hate mujibor rahman because his daughter kept deifying, glorifying his ass just because he gave a few good speeches about independence and "spent years and years in prison". also because the truth about him got leaked out and people now understand why major dalim killed his tyrannical ass. consider reading "amar fashi chai" sometimes rather than consuming wion, please?

also, razakars were east pakistanis who aided with the west pakistanis during the time of the liberation war, not "ISLAMiSt MilITIAS WhO kilLED HINdus". i want to slap you in the face for even making such a statement like that, fucking wannabe hindutva with your "hInDu KhAtRe MeIn HeI" and "MUSlIMS Are KiLLing, Sa-InG the pOoR PooR hInduS" bullshit.

also lmfao on the socialist part when mujib did an excellent job silencing prominent socialists like siraj shikdar and defangling CPB/JASOD who during the time were going pretty strong. he illegalized all political parties and only allowed BAKSAL - HIS fucking political party to be the only legal political party to be around. he's not even a fucking marxist, let alone a "socialist" scoff.

It is very clear that future Bangladesh will be an islamist one, they will purge every literature related to secularism Or pluralism of religions and may expel the hindu minority to India.

things are not set in stone yet you fucking dumb removed. the interim government is supposed to last 3 years, and the revolutionaries are making a political party of their own. given the amount of people who sided with them, people would actually be likely to listen to them over the now-weakened-to-hell CPB-JASOD. not everyone here supports BNP-Jamaat, i've seen countless posts talking about being against BNP and some against Jatiyo Party, Jamaat and IAB. at least fucking wait until that happens before you keep going on and on and on about "muh islamism! muh islamism!". it's embarrassing, given that your own media admits that hindus weren't any safe under BAL.

i seriously doubt that the next government will try to "eXPeL the HindU mINOrity to INDia" like you claim. and re: "They wILl PURge evERy litErAture ReLatEd To sECularISm or pLurALism of RELIGiOnS" - don't you think they (jamat/shibir) would've done it already by now? since no one's really there to stop them?

Bangladeshi people see India as an adversary for giving them independence or because they see the independence of Bangladesh as an act of separatism from their bigger ummah (Pakistan).

removed what the fuck are you on about? you guys are the ones who:

  • opens flood gates of the dams that y'all made around the rivers of this country every fucking year and let us get flooded every time it rains over here and for y'all. only to close it down when it's dry for y'all, thereby not letting us have any water or fish from naturally flowing rivers.
  • literally murdered felani, a 15 year old minor girl from our country for the crimes of... crossing the border?
  • you guys call any indian bangalis (west bengalis) who don't bow down to your hindutvadi shenanigans as illegal bangladeshis and treat them as such.
  • and if we're going to be religious, you guys persecute the muslim minorities of your own country. something that people of our country don't like.
  • also did i mention spreading misinformation about what's going on in this country, exaggerating the negative outcomes and happenings? stuff like pulling out old footages/pictures and using those to push your own narratives? i still remember that y'all used a picture of a woman member who used to be part of BAL being tied up in a public park and tried to pass it off as "hInDu WoMeN aRe In DaNgEr!!!" nevermind the fact that this woman likely isn't even hindu and people tied her up because people were fucking pissed at anyone who were part of BAL. not because she was hindu or whatever. 🙄
  • tried to have greater access on our country while giving us no fucking benefits by getting full access to mongla port and tried to make a railroad that crossed through our country to the 7 sisters.
  • the previous government was super fucking busy exporting all the hilshas of our country to y'all without leaving any for us.

also lmfao at calling us "bangladeshi people" when fucking "bangladeshis" would've sufficed.

we don't hate you because y'all gave us independence (nevermind the fact that the USSR also had a part in this, but sure let's take all the credit shall we?). we hate you because y'all don't see us as actual people and just exploit us. stop trying to act like you know about us and stop consuming godi/hindutva media and treating it as facts ffs.

bangladeshis were the ones who LITERALLY FUCKING WANTED independence back then. maulana fucking bhashani who - no doubt you'd call him an islamist because he keeps a beard and shit, nevermind the fact that he was a goddamn fucking leftist - led the independence movement and had to convince your beloved daddy mujib that you love defending so much who was pro-pakistan till the end - into giving the speeches in 1971. why else do you think the 1952 language movement and then the 1969 mass uprisings happened? why do you think the pro-independence awami league of that time won the 1970s elections? because people here wanted their bangali identity, their bangla language to be erased just to be "part of the fucking ummah"? give me a fucking break.

you know not a goddamn fucking thing about the history of this country. you're just parrotting whatever godi media feeds you.

no worries, sorry if i came off as harsh/angry. i'm just frustrated by people who seem to be so quick on throwing "color revolution! color revolution!" tags without understanding the overall situation that led to this to happen in the first place.

but was very confused about how to view the new leadership

iirc, yunus was a wanted man here during hasina's times. so that probably explains why he came back after hasina ran away (ironic and hypocritical, given that she said "she doesn't run away" on press conference when people - back during the revolution - thought she'd run away and ask for asylum in spain when she had a diplomatic mission thing going on in spain)

but i've seen most people agreeing that yunus is a good leader for us right now, especially when 100% hitler (far-right islamist parties like BNP-Jamaat-IAB) are right in the corner. also the only other popular political parties around now that 99% hitler - the BAL has been ousted; and the bangladeshi left continues to be a fucking skeleton. i mean, could you blame them? the west pakistani government and later all the bd governments from daddy mujib to zia to ershad did a good job defangling the then-strong bangladeshi left; and now all the islamists and muslim clerics over here have engraved "communism/socialism = atheist = anti-islam" into peoples' brains. and considering how fucking die-hard people here have gotten with their religion as of late...

but i'm seeing some people trying to revitalize it too though, so who knows. one thing's for sure - the left's not popular here and i think i would've been a bit more happier and intrigued if this revolution was led by leftists, or was a socialist revolution (a la the october revolution) led by maybe all the lefty students in chatro union/moitri along with the guys in the left democratic alliance? oh well.

apparently the students who led this revolution are also making a political party of their own, so that might be another popular opposition for the time being. doubt it's gonna be a very leftist one for sure. but defo not far-right.

i would've said "i think it's weird how it's THIS out of many previous protests that have succeeded in ousting the government", but i guess people care more about being able to get jobs (in a country where there's already enough unemployment as it is) than getting safer streets. coupled with the fact that the people here have been dealing with hasina's bs for a decade.

also the abysmal shit hasina did while the revolution was going on (stuff like crying crocodile tears at the fact that her metro rail station that she "worked so hard on making" {while at the same time embezzling some of the money needed to make the station; to her son who lives in america} being destroyed by the "evil rioters" and how it'd take "a million years" before it'd be back up again {lmfao. 1 year my ass}. or how she called the protestors razakars {traitors} certainly didn't help)

There's also one with Communist imagery, but that one has broken Bangla text.

Long Live the Great November Revolution

Through the winter's cold and famine,
from the fields and from the towns
at the call of Comrade Lenin,
there arose the Partisans

0:41 - 1:02

To the East swept forward the Partisans
through the swamps and on to the heights,
to attack and take Primorye,
the last stronghold of the Whites.

the last stronghold of the Whites.

Battle-scarred and faded banners
fluttered bravely on before,
but far deeper was the crimson
of the recent wounds they bore.

They destroyed the White Guard forces
and to hell the bandits they hurled,
and on the Pacific Ocean
the workers' flag unfurled
