You don’t think Russians do the same to their artists who in any way voice dissent against Outin? 😒🙄

I saw elsewhere in the news where a substitute teacher was fired for endorsing Putin.

I hate this cancel culture BS we have acquired, when I was younger (lol 10 years ago) the common belief was that no matter how wrong or stupid an opinion was it’s still free speech.

Just wait, next time it might be YOUR opinion that’s not PC.

For the record I condemn Putin and the invasion.

After a corporate presentation about the importance and “celebration” of diversity one employee said, “How long before it goes beyond tolerance and we each must publicly affirm our support of diversity?” Another chimed in, “Or, we have to prove we’ve had sex with our own sex?” This is where we go when we are forced to say one thing or another. I have often wondered why people say the things they say when just keeping quiet would have been the better option. We no longer have the option to not speak out...where does that stop?

Social cancelling is a way of making sure the only views expressed are rightthink. Any deviation, no matter how small from the approved narrative, must be corrected or punished.

I like this. It rips the mask off of the Elites who are really just Facists with expensive clothing and digs. And gets rid of another Commie on the payroll here in the US.

Anna Netrebko (sounds Russian) can always go perform in Russia where they will welcome her with open arms.
You just can't sack people for failing to condemn anybody.

I’m assuredly no “Putinesta” but this is a crying shame. This canceling B.S. has to stop.

Opera? For once, there may actually be some literal pearl-clutching.

The best response would be to demand that they, the MET management, in public print, denounce Putin, wagering the lives of their families on the hope that he does not take it personally and retaliate.

And if they *really* mean it, they should take their family on an extended trip to Russia, and say it *there*.

Otherwise, they are hypocrites, asking her to endanger the lives of *her* family members to make *themselves* sound virtuous.

" This is not just the day that the music died for Netrebko, it is the day that free speech died at the Met."

And even at that, it's not what she said that they didn't like, it's what she didn't say that they didn't like. Liberal fascists.

Is China funding the Met? Sounds like the “social score keeping” the Chinese use and the crats want here.
