Behaviour maybe not. What about being Royalty?
Yes, that too, as ridiculous as it may be.
What does warrant death threats? At what point should one proceed beyond threats?
That they should be murdered? For simply being a particular class of person? That sounds inhumane to me.
It's the harpist should be bigging up his harvest on the field of slaughter if the bardic tradition means anything.
Anyway, have you nothing to add about fractured dog bowls, the real issue here?
I think you might guess I have no objection to disabled people having carers. All of that and plenty of other functions in our society being run for a profit, businesses with 'staff' is quite another thing... but for a different thread.
I googled 'support for putin in russia' and there's a lot of different sources with similar figures. here's one. here's an article in the graun from last year. It's widely recognised that Putin enjoys very positive polling among Russians, as do many despots with the public of the countries their heel is on the neck of. Still. Will of the people huh.On a serious note, where are you finding that 80% of Russians support Putin? It certainly isn't borne out by reported comments by Russian people.
Ukraine war: new figures suggest only one in four Russians support it, but that won’t be enough to oust Putin
Public approval of the war has declined significantly, but the president himself appears safe, for the time being.
Well, you've made me look a right fool then.
that, I think you will find, is fascism.
I'd rather pay someone to do that for me than have them squeeze my tooth paste out*. Being accompanied everywhere by a harpist would be fucking awesome. Although I wonder if a stylophoneist would be cheaper.
Quite the reverse, no-one being in that position of superiority over anyone else merely by dint of privilege or wealth, what a glorious vision of a better way of living. No-one should aspire to that sort of social relationship, it's unhealthy. Collective provision including personal for those in genuine need of care is a different matter.
It’s easy to mock, but on a serious note it’s hard to make a living as a young musician, and a regular income helps your life go more smoothly.
OK.
Sign you up for the afternoon shift in the commune canteen then?
Except for personal harpists, obvs.
Not a fucking chance. I like choice in my life. I don’t really want things rationed out by central committee if the boys decide I’m worthy of whatever they deign to give. Ironically, it sounds a bit too capitalist - in result if not in spirit.
Sorry, you're doing a collectivised tour of village halls somewhere dank out east. Watch that tuning!
TBF, it sounds like the first royal harpist wasn't being entirely serious, when he told queen vic his name was John Thomas.
Am I on after the person who reads out the collected thoughts of the Glorious Leader and before the bloke who makes balloon animals?
There is one, steamed buns or gruel.
