Am reproducing a tweet thread, along with some discussions & rejoinders for a reasonable completeness of the notes & afterthoughts.

Had always wondered about the relentless #DravidianModel hate propaganda in TN; had thought, it was merely meant to ‘brainwash’ Tamils – though it is flimsy, silly & unpersuasive with respect to the ‘arguments’ presented in it.

But, it appears that there is more to it, as Haifeng Huang describes & supports a fresh look.

I used to subscribe to the common-model that, Tamil people get exposed to the same Dravidian scum message repeatedly & over time come to believe in whatever nonsense the authoritarian, Goebbelsian #D Establishment wants them to believe.

This is also true, but it does not…

…explain the societal situation of TN at all – especially when, importantly, the #D propaganda contradicts reality. Reality: Tamils/Dravidians(!) are NOT controlled by a miniscule % Brahmin Illuminati scheming all the time + Social injustices in TN have their roots in #D.

The question is, why do the #D continue with their hate-propaganda – knowing fully well that they are lies & that practically everyone knows that they are verifiable as lies?

Reason: #D propaganda is also intended to instill fear in people, including ‘non-brahmins’ – not…

…merely ‘brainwash.’

#D msg: You may NOT hold pro-Drav values(!) or attitudes. But we will make sure you are too fearful/’bought’ to do anything about it. Explains why most of the majority ‘non-brahmin’ social groups/jatis & ‘intellectuals’ are totally silent on #D hate?
