“it’s going to be WW3!!” no bitch it’s going to be vietnam, korea, afghanistan, it’s going to be another war wherein the US commits unspeakable and indefensible acts against a severely weakened people seeking self determination. it’s going to be another war where protesting is criminalized and “freedom of speech” is gutted in the interest of pushing propaganda. it’s going to be another nation of people added to the long list of victims of US imperialism and another demonstration of the strong undercurrent of fascism running through the foundation of america

Alphonse Mucha - a poster for the Sokol Festival, 1912
After more than five years, the family of Michael Chakma, one of Bangladesh’s “disappeared”, held a funeral service for him, certain they would never see him again. Last week, the 45-year-old was one of a handful of people released from detention in the aftermath of the student uprising which led to the dramatic collapse of former prime minister Sheihk Hasina’s government. Chakma, an Indigenous rights activist who went “missing” after being snatched off the streets near his home in April 2019, said he endured mental and physical torture during his captivity in spaces so confined it felt like “a grave”, in a clandestine prison allegedly operated by the military intelligence directorate (DGFI). Chakma says he had lost all hope of ever seeing his family or daylight again. “My family assumed I was dead and conducted all religious rituals for a funeral in my absence,” Chakma tells the Guardian. “My return is as shocking to me as it is miraculous for them. It truly feels like a resurrection. “This ‘afterlife’ still unnerves me from time to time. I suffer from nightmares and mental breakdowns, and I’m often terrified by sounds. I can’t sleep; everything seems so scary to me,” he adds. In the early months of his disappearance, a police official told the media that he might be in hiding, evading arrest due to the charges against him. [...] “They kept asking me why I criticise the Awami League government in my social media, they said AL is the government and the government is the state. Therefore no one should criticise the actions of AL or Sheikh Hasina,” Chakma says. [...] Another local group, Odhikar, says over the past 15 years, 704 people have fallen victim to enforced disappearance. While some have returned home, the bodies of others have been found, often showing signs of torture. It’s thought 150 individuals remain unaccounted for, not including those who went missing during the student-led protests that began last month.
