Maithanet Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I'm so glad I didn't get sucked into another one of these pointless roundabout arguments. I remember the last time weedstrover made an appearance in these threads, and that was an hour of my life I won't get back. 3CityApache 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't (and neither do they) - I just want to make fun of them for supporting such a below-rate ballet school and point out how much of an uncultured boor they are.

I mean, at this point that's not just true of China - apparently the leader of Wagner can do that too. That's how low Russia has fallen - they have to sit there and take it from a ex-cook who doesn't even have a country. A wilding 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That you are sitting in Wagner is by and large a force for good 48 minutes ago, Zorral said: You may have noticed the dress rehearsal you are supposedly seeing of Swan Lake at the Met has no russians dancing. You also seem to have missed how sexually exploited the Mariinski dancers were and are, and how oppressed. I love ballet and I have its history down quite solidly (which, silly, the roots and productions go back much further than Russia -- try Spain, Italy, France). Your attempts to pull culture whatever the eff you think you are doing are pathetic. Yes, and they didn’t invent orchestra either. They perfected it. Brazil didn’t invent football btw. But it is there history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just took it and aped it and did a bit better for a while until someone else came along and did it better. What other things can Russia do that's better than anywhere else that we can take?

Zorral Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 (edited) Can we even count how many dancers, choreographers, musicians, composers, artists left Russia in the last, o say, 100 + years for 'the west'? if not a bot this person better get back on the meds. ay-up. Ignore I shall do. This thread has been providing too much important information for this mess of pathetic insanity to keep hijacking it.

It’s meant as a slur to signify Ukraine as the ‘pure’ Slav and Russian as the lesser race. Hence the ‘kill Russian’ propaganda from the militias that have infected the western media. The supporters now call Russians orcs and joke about a tourist getting eaten by sharks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
