An interesting take on the current events in Bangladesh that i think is worth considering but i'm not sure that i agree with this perspective. Honestly i just don't know enough yet about the situation and i will reserve judgement until i do.

TBH I'm OK with people using non Leftist sources for discussion. So I did reread the article and I suggest you do as well. The author makes claims of a colour revolution that look really spurious. Like he doesn't show any evidence of support from the State Department or similar entity, nor do the articles he links to make any such claim. I guess that my standard of evidence for non Leftists is pretty high when they state "bots, fake news, and Western-cultivated local activists were weaponized" without trying to prove such a connection.

old man tangent

I don't know Bangladesh much at all. But I've seen similar claims like this from Western non Leftists. Brian Berletic, for instance, claims that anti-monarchy protests in Thailand are colour revolutions with really bad sourcing if you actually bother to read what he's saying. Sorry for the tangent, but this is my bias coming into this.
