    Wokeism at the Metropolitan Opera is destroying it ...

    The woke director has fired it's Prima Donna, Anna Netrebko,
    because she failed to condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
    She is Russian and her family lives there.
    She is a beauty with a beautiful voice and is the only Diva at
    the Met who can fill the House. Several other Russian singers
    have also been fired - as well as some time ago, the Conductor
    Levine and the Divo Domingo, and even earlier Maria Callas.
    Wokeism is a killer and like the Ouroboros snake one of the
    most famous of Opera Companies will eat itself.



    You guys probably don't care for Opera, but I love it and I hate
    to see a once great Opera Theater destroy itself.
    You can't keep firing your best talent and survive for long. The
    audience doesn't buy tickets to listen to foghorns and sirens.

    That's not wokeism.

    NATO and Russia are locked in a proxy war in Ukraine. Faces of the Russian regime are persona non grata in most of those countries until this thing sorts itself out. If you're buying Putin's "cancel culture" line you're a sucker. Because as he complains to you and you believe him, his henchmen are literally trying to cancel Ukraine.

    Are you a sucker? Easily fooled or taken in by con artists?

    You read newsmax and infowars so that's a big HELL YES isn't it.

        You don't appear to know what you're talking about.

        But if your antenna are so tuned into cancel culture, then when people say Ukraine is "not a country", aren't they in fact "cancelling Ukraine"? And isn't doing it with bombs, rockets, killing civilians, destroying property, a helluva lot worse than dropping someone's contract for the coming season?
