When I was in the US, I went to a classical concert at the Disney Hall in LA... It was painfully snobbish, in a way I had never seen in Australia, even at the Opera House (in Australia, you get that snobbery with theatre, and sometimes opera itself, but rarely classical music), so it doesn't surprise me that some aspects of this are worse over there...
Still, the fact that my local orchestra, as far removed from Minneapolis as it is geographically possible to be, has become quite literally one of the wokest institutions in the land, where, I am not kidding, each concert, a member of the orchestra stands up and recites a spiel of "sovereignty never ceded, you are on stolen land, we are all guilty" is quite something...
Even concert venues are no longer listed in English, but in a made-up Aboriginal conlang, where someone has invented city and town names, literally within the last decade... Because that's how "woke" they are.
Scary. Yet the elites clap along like performing seals, while their money goes to support this utter bullshit.
It really is a surreal time to be living in Australia.
I'm fairly sure the intent is to browbeat people in general to the point that woke zealots are permitted to implement their agenda without public oversight.
