When someone disagrees with you online and demands you prove your point to their satisfaction by writing a complete and logically sound defense including citations, you can save a lot of time by not doing that.
Bro, I’ve known you for twelve seconds and enjoyed none of them, I’m not taking homework assignments from you.
This got a lot of responses from people pointing out that evidence is a key part of intellectual inquiry, discourse, and debate. That being able to support your beliefs is a key critical thinking skill. Which is 100% true.
Except that you don’t actually have to participate in intellectual discourse any time some fucko on the Internet tells you to.
There’s a vast difference between “this is an important thing to be able to do,” and “this is a thing that you must be continuously available to perform in public for any stranger who asks.”

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I’m meant to be, this is me
Look out ‘cause here I come
And I’m marching on to the beat I drum
I’m not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
**Nationalteatern - Doin’ The Omoralisk Schlagerfestival **
context for this song. when Abba won melodifestivalen in sweden, and were therefore picked to perform in eurovision, that year spain were the hosts of eurovision.
Spain was at that time under the rule of Francos fascist regime, and close to the date when eurovision was to be held, several widely published mass killings had been commited by Francos regime.
the solidarity movement with the people of spain was in sweden rather large at the time, and many called for that sweden should boycott eurovision in spain that year. but ABBA still travelled to spain and performed and won.
this song then, is about the rage of musicians ignoring morals for profit. also, Stickan which is talked about alot in the song, was a producer of pop music, and i believe also producer of the ABBAs song Waterloo. he was often criticized for being all for the profit, and zero for the art.
looking back, this song got a very dated 1970s contempt towards pop music but at the same time, it showcases 1970s swedish leftists views on showing solidarity with the people in a dictorship, via not supporting the regime of that country.
“Dear listener, let me announce The One and Only Strangler Of Herrings from Gothenburg!
or as the Spaniard says Geratta di Anjovis
singing to his true Semperfiser “Doin ‘the immoral schlager festival”
In the choir you hear the boisterous bushes Björnligan and the Gondola
It’s a One, It’s a two
It’s a One, two three four ”
you can hear the twinkling of jewels and the glitter of gold
they are praising the Spanish sun
but Francos murders and executions
they don’t give a fuck about
instead they
twirls their fascist skirts
and now ABBA enter the stage, wearing plastic clothes
they are just as dead as the fish in ABBAs caned herring Abba too,
doesn’t give a fuck,
All the wanna do is make a quick buck
aaaah, my French blood is boiling!
Doin 'the immoral schlager festival
Doin 'the immoral schlager festival
And the world’s melodies, oppressions and slavery
doesn’t bother Sweden’s representatives in Eurovision
They want to become rising stars, they smile, laugh and charm
Oh yes, they have so many stupid flaws
They will do
any gig, and they keep their cool,
While performing in the oven of fascism
they entertain us until death, spinning their tracks in the grammafon,
should we really fall for their trick?
NO!
Doin 'the immoral schlager festival
Doin 'the immoral schlager festival
And ABBAS music producer Stickan Andersson believes the public is stupid
produces love songs
But real love is stronger, And punches Stickan,
As is
fitting for a cynical capitalist bastard
But, for you who work hard
And whose life is a difficult
sing a long to the melody of the Herring Stranglers
We have our own melody,
and we do not give a fuck about them
and their spineless bowing to fascism
Doin 'the immoral schlager festival Doin 'the immoral schlager festival

I’m an apprentice tattoo artist. An artist who owns a few shops invited me to their team.
I’ve got a long way to go. I’m still learning basic shading techniques. Working with a tattoo pen adds depth to the traditional flat plane I’m used to working on.
One is never too old to learn a new skill.
At times I feel like a complete newb.
So, here is a meme that I love. I’m sharing it for everyone who is learning something new.
