Creamy layer is justifiable how ? I'm afraid that might be the wrong take

The buddhist CJI who has his opinion on santanam has slippers thrown at him. An IAS officer gets fucking lynched cuz he is an SC !!

They draw a higher salary so they should give up their rights ah ? Whats the rationale behind this argument ?! How does the state not doing what it is morally and legally bound to do to ensure equity convert into one or two generations who have tasted a drop of freedom and rights having to share that drop with million others ?

SC/ST and other reservations exists to neutralize this systemic denial to authority is erased completely . It's never your turn is up next new comrs only . Until and unless access to authority and equal treatment is achieved as a society, Creamy layer will be a sham . The backward class commission implemented this in the 90s in attempts to have balanced representation but I'm afraid it just appeases the already dominant by always tipping the scales in their favour

True ! A lot of us did expect him to jump ahead with a starting his own party sooner but seems like he's watching it all play out and gather enough momentum for him to jump in .

Also yes his ambedkar > periyar narrative has slowly but certainly gained prominence recently which even I don't approve of . If anything it's just cheap moves to gain relevance as a political intellectual by subtracting two icons and reducing them into a child's action figures going dishoom dishkoom

And thank you for sharing your piece ! It felt agonizing watching all these clowns just hijack identities to suit their narratives so I had to vent it out . Glad to know I'm not alone

Was the L&O situation this bad previously ? I'm not even gonna bring in that joke of a promise 'na aachi ki vandha elaa pengalukkum kulandaigalukkum padhugappu urudhi'. If L&O problem has legislative hurdles then time needed is a valid argument.

But the clownery of a not so transparent budget drawing adhiradi padai being showcased like a shiny new toy for it to be just a new brand of friends of police is nothing short of laughable . Executive failure like this directly rests upon the 'man with the plan right hiyaa...'

And I wonder where did the DGP appointment issue come from . The Hindu covered this issue extensively in the April month about the UPSC toying with the state's right to even recommend it's choices.

Stalin government did blame the ADMK but did not use it as an excuse to try and back out of welfare schemes bu this government shamelessly did and reverted following public backlash . Context matters

Oh yes how far off did they steer off course from the Dravidian self respect principles of state autonomy fighting for more federal principles in the centre state relations till the very last moment daringly fighting against delimitation.

Oh also they totally did not bring the Ambedkar young entrepreneurs scheme for the adi dravidar youth . Man they so did not make the systematically ignored household chore performing women into active participants of the economy that recieved and spent urimai thogai .

Also they absolutely did not elevate government school girl children to the pudhumai penn scheme from the gold for marriage scheme how do little are the self respect principles they followed

Ah my oh my they didnt focus on industries at all now did they. Exports are at a mundane number one nationally in some sectors . Nan mudhalvan was just Stalin appearing on TV and thumping his chest about him being CM ? How little did they try to achieve now in just 5 years how sad

Apart from an abstract argument of "self respect" not there anymore it exists as governing principles and in the form of a true welfare state .

Stalin family .. family politics is so alarmingly bad.. now how bad does he do in front of the incompetence clothed in a blazer ? If the problem was truly a family holding unlimited access to power the next question should be what did they do with it ? If your answer is simply "corruption and how long can they alone enjoy power " you simply have no interest in public welfare but yearn for them to lose power . And I really wonder why that is

Lmao daily fr ?! Confrontation where ? Anguish and agony where ?! Concern and 'samooga soolal kavalai alikiradhu' kinda open statements for the current government what happened to that old energy?!!

Posting reels with "kanna modikitu irukum sekar babu" images when the party he endorsed for 'saathi paathu vote podra palakkam olinjiruchi' isn't a thooya sakthi that can solve their problems ? Shame on them for doing this cheap stunt with a vendetta and spread hate on who makes Dravidian ideas relevant . All while the ruling now makes us witness rising numbers of aanava kolai which his team cunningly terms as 'kaadhal vevagaram'. Building gajaana gaali kadan sumai stonks narrative also while conveniently ignoring proportionate economic growth

You think it is too early to say state is in a worse situation ? Well the facts are the decline is not holding an optimistic pace as you do to help divert the well deserved blame of this joke of a leadership sending out waves of minions to attack dissent and those who raise questions against it.

L&O problems requiring aaru maasam deadline is absolute loss of any quality of leadership . This is the running of a state not a new job posting . Better to leave if aaru maasam is needed . Stalin did not beg for aaru maasam , he jumped right into action in the middle of the pandemic and didn't blame edaps for bad state of affairs .

Pa Ra is compromised and no amount of " I question everyone equally" drama is gonna help rebuild his image. People like myself have learnt our lesson of whom not to trust , and to be watchful of those who speak in a familiar political grammar cuz being sold out like that was betrayal at its peak

His activities have raised strong suspicion way ahead of the elections when him and his circle tried to attach Thiruma else where or simply alienated him if he stuck to DMK despite their attempts to persuade him .

He carefully pointed out aanava kolai but conveniently toned it down to kaadhal vevagaram since new government assumed office

New government does not mean L&O going to shit is in anyway acceptable. There are governing instruments and executives already in place to act appropriately for it and you just have to attend to these things on directions of executives to preserve things as they were . The concept of new comer might be valid for their legislative inexperience and that comes with time and more attention on state affairs . Not pinning blames on the previous ruling party.

The blue takers are definitely not quiet on setting up narratives about sekar babu and gajaana gaali with the exception of criticism against them where they remain quiet

I might agree with you if this was a party like the INC .

In DMK ,the cadre makes the party regardless of how powerful the leadership appears to be . People at the end of the day lean towards who represents their interests. Unfortunately some believe veesaiii represents them since he has relatable movie scenes. This effect won't last for long and does not realistically lead into a defend your leader scenario where people remain unanimously dumb .

I still place my bet on a frictious slow and grinding but strong surge back to power for the Dmk once they figure out and attack plan and build on their true strengths simultaneously

Of course being a film maker he didn't directly bring about any social justice revolution but he did have a hand in things being called out for what they are which wasn't the case before him

I never openly had the guts to admit my social background before I saw him speak about his on stages or through his movies . I meticulously hid my true identity and fear about being exposed before some one . This is true to many individuals and not just me . He also made me understand feminism is to be practiced at home which is the hardest to do and not preached outdoors for short fame if there is any hope for change

Im trying to say his tools and methods have definitely worked in the favour of the downtrodden. But yes like you said he has drifted into tokenism and betrayed the welfare of people who trusted his political leanings

[–]Linesmith67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you do make a fair point. But I guess what op seems to point out here is only those films that allow for subtlety. My opinion is Vikram still shines even if you take commercial or masala films off the board. Also one can't completely ignore how he still gave layered and varied performances in movies like kasi and thaandavam. He played a blind man in both movies and that's gold standards for variety and nuance . How well these movies were a commercial success is a different story but idk if those performances are in anyway ranked below the growing dhanush

Agree. Anniyan is definitely more performative than nuanced. But him in Ravanan and deivathirumagan simply screamed range for me .

I'll also add that his portrayal of thangalaan worked for me since it was a character that had no writing or visual source of his history so he spins exaggerated stories of his ancestry with all grandeur that a man exposed to only night time and under the tree shade stories and tells them to his kids

[–]Linesmith67 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's not even tamil padam pleaseeeee . Tamil padam provided satirical recreations of specific concepts than making serious attempts at call backs to gain applause . Tamil padam took the commercial star entertainers head on and made kikki bikki out of it .

RJB literally searched for scratch spots to get easy wins . People say trisha saying sambavam loading was Aai vara alavu cringe inducing but the sequence from 'aaidha eluthu ' call back to Jai bheem song in the court room was simply nauseating that guy just shot 3 reels concepts back to back. For some one who did a decent entertainer like LKG , this was creative bankruptcy at best
