blech. literally every expert said we shouldn't do this and the rightoids did it anyway because they're obsessed with culture.

edit:

some of my favourite nonsense includes

  • a documentary from the 70s about the mods subculture
  • the criminal code
  • a waterfall
  • a speech about the welfare state
  • the post of national ombudsman of justice
  • a house where a painter used to live
  • a jet fighter

this is insane. and when interviewed by aftonbladet, the cultural policy spokesperson for the sweden democrats said, quote

Det är en bekräftelse för den öppna nationalism som jag och sverigedemokraterna står för

lit. "this is an affirmation of the open nationalism that me and my party stand for"

the fucking what

"It must be 50+ years old so no ABBA!"

In 1974, ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest for Sweden with their song "Waterloo".

SD party has nazi roots, so you can have a better perspective.

And now they're the second parti in Sweden 😱

Man, I hope you won't believe anybody in the world cares about any single letter or sound you emit, cause it would be pretty sad for your life.

If you think my post it's out of focus, just go ahead, it's called being an adult.
