The war on {russian people} is now starting up
https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1498598946989608960The Munich Philharmonic has fired Gergiev (!!!) for being a Russian person and refusing to condemn his mother country.
Gergiev is a hell of a big name in the classical scene for anyone unaware
Its hilarious, James Levine gets sacked because he's a pedo who diddles little boys (and gets a $3.5 million severance). Gergiev gets sacked not because of what he has said or done recently, but because he refuses to make a compulsory speech denouncing Putin.
Its like when the cancel squad came for Valentina Lisitsa for being a pro-Russian Ukrainian and Canada refused her concerts. But she was just a classical pianist- and was aggressively outspoken and tweeting about it in realtime- Gergiev is one of the biggest names in the whole world and was minding his own damn business. They straight up declared they were refusing to book Gergiev's concerts and firing Gergiev unless he would put out a statement condemning Putin and Russia.
Tell me again how Russophobia isn't real
Damn Putin got this dude fired. Putin is also currently murdering his neighbors.
Imagine not being able to denounce a major war crime.
I wish we would fast forward to the part where he shoots himself in his bunker. He is probably at the end of a 60 foot table in a bunker talking to somebody at the other end of the room lol.
I tell ya the dude has cancer or a tumor and is making a mad dash to establish his legacy as something more than the steward of Russia's decline from being a super power to a regional player.

consequences implies causation. Guilt by association is without causation
Are you against At Will employment now?
Welcome to the labor movement Shill. I got fired from a job because my boss was fucking a girl who liked me. Was that fair? Lol.
I'm a union guy, I believe workers should have protection. But you aren't though if I remember right. You're a stiff the contractor kind of guy.
