The champions of ultra-liberalism and ultra-feminism—loud, self-righteous, and convinced they are saving the world with one controversy at a time. If you add consumerism’s obsession (take a recent example of a consumer of cigarettes) with self-indulgence and the rebellious stunts of groups like Pussy Riot, and what do we get? A movement that claims to empower but often ends up dividing societies, mocking traditions, and replacing meaningful discourse with outrage for the sake of it.
These movements preach freedom and progress, but their version of “liberation” seems more about tearing things down than building anything of value. They glorify radical individualism, dismissing shared cultural and moral values as outdated nonsense. Instead of creating unity, they manufacture conflict, turning tradition into the enemy and faith into a target. Because why seek balance when you can provoke and polarize?
Now, in a country like Bangladesh, where religion and tradition are central to identity, this brand of activism is not just irrelevant—it is dangerously disruptive. Imported ideologies that ignore local realities do not bring progress; they bring cultural friction. Pushing ultra-liberal values without considering social context is not liberation—it is cultural assault, disguised as activism. The result? A society that feels more divided, more resentful, and less in control of its own future.
Real progress does not mean destroying the faith and tradition to create the future. It means respecting tradition while embracing change. But movements obsessed with making noise rather than making sense seem more interested in spectacle than solutions. Instead of blindly following every new ideological trend, perhaps it is time to seek a path that strengthens society rather than fragments it. Because a nation that abandons its roots in the name of fake liberation and freedom may find itself with nothing left to stand on.
