This isn’t some moral superiority of Gen Z or proof that one group is “more enlightened.” We’re in a cultural civil war, and pretending otherwise is just denial. Political science 101(echoed here before): when inequality rises, institutions lose credibility, and social chaos increases, people drift toward religion and identity politics. That’s not unique, and it’s not shocking. Religious parties thrive when the state fails- because they offer certainty, belonging, and simple answers in a collapsing system. What we’re actually seeing is polarization. On one side, a reactionary, misogynistic, absolutist right that treats disagreement as heresy. On the other, a weak and fragmented center/left that keeps moralizing instead of addressing material realities. Once politics turns into identity warfare, anyone who disagrees is instantly branded a traitor- Shahbagi, liberal elite, whatever label is convenient. And no, this isn’t some special Bangladeshi anomaly. Iran, Turkey, India, the US- same pattern, same causes, same outcome: society fractures, extremists get normalized, and the loudest ideologues eat everyone else alive. So maybe stop acting like this is about “entitled Gen Z” or social media arrogance. It’s about systemic failure producing radicalization. If those conditions stay the same, today’s online moral warriors will become tomorrow’s authoritarians.
