There have been rapes, tortures and murders as well. Going by his pics the reddit protester's brother had been killed.
| OP again, someone is hosting an archive of vids/pics from the protests. Some of them have dead bodies, just a forewarning.

| And a nice little propaganda piece:

| can you describe what is happening instead of only posting links?
| >>381283 Sorry about that, I don't post here much:
Less than a week ago 2 teenagers were killed by a bus driver who disobeyed traffic laws. The driver got off scot free. Tens of thousands of students began to attend peaceful protest, and in response, the government sent out riot police and encouraged pro-govt students to attack protesters. So far, people have been killed, raped, and gone missing.
| The majority of Bangladeshi people's internet has been cut off/slowed to 1.28kbps. It's speculated that the govt is hunting down protesters who have posted online. News sites aren't working, and as you saw in >>381192 some are deliberately trying to cover up the whole ordeal.
Facebook and Youtube posts, even vids from popular Bangladeshi tubers like SalmoN TheBrownFish are also being deleted. (https://youtu.be/jFhws2AfBEk)
| >>381343 There was another bus driver he was racing against in order to pick up more passengers. Both drivers fled from the scene and I'm assuming they haven't been caught.
Here's an article from a local(?) news source: http://103.16.74.140/city/bus-kills-one-airport-road-radisson-hotel-dhaka-mob-goes-rampage-1612879
| Damn.
| Just another day in India, nothing to see here, folks.
| >>381694
Alot users here are US-Americans. Don't expect too much geographic knowledge. I'm glad if they don't confuse India with Indiana.
| OP here, I fucked up the title and only realized after I hit submit :s
| >>381764 We've been over this in other threads but everyone from every country are idiots to things outside of their geographical premises with few exceptions.
| >>381773
>but everyone from every country are idiots to things outside of their geographical premises
But not everyone from every country are so ridicolous proud of themselves and elect global operating governments which play world-police while in truth just are the tools of global capitalists interests. Is it so hard to understand why people have issues with that. Idiots with nuclear bombs, a global operating army, industry and intelligence is not the same as idiots without.
| >>381805 Tell that to the French, British and Russians too. It's not just Americans that are full of themselves.
| And the Swedes...
| The majority of danger/u/ are some form of Slav. Get over yourself, >>381764 . You too are full of yourself.
| >>381764 >>381805
Look, we don't care if you think capitalist and America are the anti-christ- but you, and any other anon need to stop bringing it up in threads that have nothing to do with Capitalism/Communism and then throwing a shitfit when people get annoyed with it.
Derailment posts are going to be deleted outright if this continues.
| >>381851
>threads that have nothing to do with Capitalism/Communism
The thing is, to me every political issue has to do with capitalism/communism as I see the economic circumstances as the core/the basis to everything else. If others see it different they are free to say/write it but it seems it's shouldn't be the other way arround. I mean wouldn't deleting my "marxist" point of view equals censorship.
| >>381886
That is unfortunate, but this is how it's going to be from now on. And yes, it would count as "censorship," but danger/u/ was never an echobox for your views. You are welcome to post in another website if you disagree.
| On that note, it's fine if you think that every conversation on this board has something to do with capitalism/communism, even tangentially, but you do not get to override the narrative/discussion of a thread just because of your opinions. Your views also certainly do not override the board-specific rules, which specifically state:
1. Keep discussions civilized.
and,
3. Intentionally derailing threads will result in a ban.
| If we have an understanding, I will be enforcing this policy starting today.
| @OP, my apologies for using your thread to make this policy change clear, as there is no PM system on the website.
| >>381902
>yes, it would count as "censorship,"
Why put censorship in quotes?
>but danger/u/ was never an echobox for your views
I suspect you don't know what an echobox is.
>You are welcome to post in another website if you disagree.
Exactly this is how real echoboxes are created. With the mentioned policy you'll slowly turn danger/u/ into one. And regarding the ignorance over much more controversial statements from another political corner you can guess what kind i'll be.

| >>381851 >>381902 >>381908 >>381915 >>381916 >>381923 This seems pretty interesting considering there was no discussion on these rules. I was not even aware of new janitors and I'm getting quite annoyed that this is happening without me being mentioned about this.
If you can PM me this would be for the best as I would like discussion.
##Janitor:Aoi##
| Also, as the general /new/ janitor my policy was always to allow for a maximum discussion regardless of political ideology. If we start picking vague ideas like "derailment" than I'd like a very clear definition of what that would be as to not further cause trouble. And yes, this thread too will be derailed with now a meta discussion, because no one has informed me of a new janitor.
I demand discussion about this and I also want to know who this is.
##Janitor:Aoi##
| Got in contact with the mod about this. All good now. Sorry about our meta discussion, folks!

| This shit is insane. There's a Reddit account of a student (i don't wanna link it, it uses his full name and Bangladeshi govt is cracking down on online posts) literally begging for the media to see this. He hasn't posted in 9 hours.
