Speaking truth to power (in ur industry) is the real anti establishment act.

Becoz that affects ur livelihood directly.

So, for a bollywood actor/director/singer. Its easier to speak against PM than speak against Karan Johar or Salman.

Its all about the cost vector!

So, in an industry that is largely anti modi.

Anubhav Sinhas rants don't hurt his self interest vector.
It is actually a career +.

But Vivek speaking against Salman is a career suicide.

That's why d 'fearless' Sinha is scared to name d club owners https://twitter.com/anubhavsinha/status/1272211823018704896

Anurag Kashyap didn't have the balls to stand up to his partner Vikas Bahl when sexual harrasment charge was made against him.

Becoz that affected his self interest (company) directly.

Same Kashyap can rant daily about PM.

It's not abt courage. It all abt d cost vector!

That's why Meryl Streep rants about Trump at awards.
But keeps quiet on Harvey Weinstein.

Because Hollywood hates Trump & Trump can't dictate who hollywood won't hire.

But Weinstein could.

Most of 'anti establishment' pretense is just self interest disguised as virtue!

Son of Fatima Rashid(Sanjay Dutt) was arrested 4 keeping weapons 4 terrorists who did 93 blasts.

'Secular' Anubhav Sinha gave him work in Dus.

'Anti establishment' Sinha knew,Sanju Baba has contacts in underworld.

Real fear makes ppl respect criminals.Not deride them!

So a Gaurav Taneja speaking against his own airline Air Asia is 'anti establishment'.

Vivek speaking against Salman was 'anti establishment'

Kangana saying it on face of Johar is admirable.

Alas, We have made heroes out of 'zero cost' gasbags like Kashyap, Sinha & Swara.

That's why Swara will ask questions abt Rohit Vemula's suicide.
Because that's zero cost. Free PR.

But won't ask questions about suicide in her own industry.
Their 'loud' virtue signaling is a cover up 4 their silent surrender in their own industry. https://twitter.com/ReallySwara/status/1272579807956611072

Anurag Kashyap doesn't dare stand up against Salman's family 4 throwing his own brother Abhinav Kashyap out of work.

But he stood up 4 inclusion of illegal B'deshi, Rohingyas in CAA.

CAA is a zero cost battle given industry consensus.
But standing up for ur brother isn't.

Muhammad Ali's anti draft stand on Vietnam costed him 4 years of his prime.

Chappelle rebelled against Comedy Central.Left a cheque of $50m.

That’s why these greats r timeless 'anti establishment' icons.

Becoz, they stood up for their beliefs where it costed them the most!
