#1 This bullshit is just an extension of the BLM anti white cancel culture.

Classical music’s recent self-abasement for its “whiteness” laid the groundwork for this presumptive group guilt. Since the George Floyd race riots in May and June 2020, directors of orchestras, opera companies, and conservatories have lambasted their own field for its historical demographics, said to be inextricably linked to racism. Music critics have sneered at Beethoven and other composers for having allegedly leveraged their whiteness to achieve undeserved acclaim. Mea culpas and promises of fealty to Black Lives Matter have become de rigeuer in mission statements and fundraising pitches. Now these coerced confessions are demanded of a subset of musicians whose Russianness makes them as suspect as whiteness does the entire Caucasian population

#2 The west had too long consorted with islamics and the cultism has rubbed off on them. This cancel business and sanction madness is more and more like the kaffar and blasphemy dogmas of the donkey fuckers. First you denounce your elected president, then apologize to blacks for their inability to live decently where does it end? Social media and unions of artists and showbiz today owns your right to make any choice whatsoever! One day they'll ask you to spit on crosses too.

#3 Complete bullshit, yeah. They're canceling Gergiev who's neutral, and they're canceling Anna Netrebko, who's against the war. The cancel culture predates the war, they're just seizing on it as the next reason to trash western civilisation
