ilcg1I remember this same conversation on the last Kennerton drop. I think it's fine to use your purchasing power to hold companies accountable, but Russian government does not mean Russian people. I spent a couple weeks in St. Petersburg (where these headphones are built, according to the description). The people I stayed with (and many others like them) are far from supportive of the Russian government, but they don't have the numbers or political power to do much. Did you see the protests in the streets throughout Russia a week or two back? Probably not, because the media in Russia is state controlled/censored. I don't know what Kennerton's political leanings are as a company, but just wanted to let you know it isn't a black & white "Russia bad" thing.
wontonotnowI've spent more time in Russia and Ukraine than most can think (actually was working there for couple of month years ago), so I know what I'm talking about.
Regarding Russian "protests". This is just a joke. Over 140 mln country and there were few thousands of protestors?
Regarding black and white. They don't support government etc. Every poll (even made by foreign agencies) shows Putin's support of over 80% population. Fabricated? I don't think so.
When people say not all Russians are the same, I agree - I have some Russian "sane" friends, but they are in a such minority that can be considered a statistical error in the polls.
"Don't bring politics to every day life". Sure, let's just be blind, silent and deaf to all world issues and talk audiophile mumbo-jumbo and stuff.
Sike2I would like to know that too. What developed economy hasn't leeched upon a poor and sick and left it to rot?
Mirror Mirror who is the most righteous of all?
wontonotnowYou just outed the families you stayed with in Russia. Might want to call them to let them know they will be getting visit soon and to remember to bring their Geiger counters during their interviews about their rebel activity. :P
I joke but seriously Georgi Markov and Alexander Litvinenko were assasinated by brief contact with either polonium or ricin... But hey, these headphones are FABULOUS! kek
ilcg1Maybe you should spend your time elsewhere then you're on an audiophile chat talking about politics and want other people to join in, the people here are trying to escape that for a moment so get lost please we all get it you hate anything that is not your reflection
