Russia Ukraine war, page-9307

I've always hated Wagner's music, heavy, sentimental cloying, overly drawn out,
Yuk.

Sentimentality is the other face of fascism. - Carl Gustav Jung (paraphrased)

It's why you get Putin singing a Godawful version of On Bluberry Hill.

It's why Sinatra was so favoured by The Mob (fascism if not in name).

Mushy, like a warm treacle enema (or what I imagine it to be like) I can't stand sentimentality.

It's what drives Putin's yearning for the old USSR.
The Fatherland, the ancient roots of Russia blah blah blah.

It's toxic.
