My favorite tidbit about this:
Norwegian writer Knut Hamsun gave his Nobel Literature Prize medal to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels in 1943. A strong supporter of the Nazis, Hamsun was convicted of treason in 1947 and spent the rest of his life in mental institutions.
What’s the point if it’s not directly awarded to you, it’s like buying a Grammy at Goodwill and awarding it to your cover band.
Probably said below but will repeat it, the narcissistic asshole doesn’t realize it’s given to them in that way, cause the presenter is appeasing them.
They’re getting their fluffing and enjoying all the winds or something like that unsure if it’s ever said that way but fits.
Also appeasement never works check Poland WWII, similar to Trump pre ww3 perhaps? Perhaps time will tell.
Yeah doubtful it will, it might satiate him for a while but after you just give in then you have nothing left to bargain with really. It’s crystal clear the man hasn’t been told no enough in his life and as such ignores it when he hears it now.
He’s not exactly known for intellectual depth my guy, you’re asking why the shallow loser does shallow loser shit
It was a bit rhetorical I suppose, I just don’t see how you spin this without looking like a total dipshit but alas that doesn’t matter anymore either.
Right on both accounts.
1930s-40s : We dissolved the Nobel prize to stop if from falling into the hands of fascists, then re-assembled it after.
2020s : The person that recieved the Nobel prize gave it as a gift to a fascist.*the fascist that received the Nobel Peace Prize gave it as a gift to a fascist.
She’s been applauding Trump’s strikes on fellow Venezuelans and pledging to privatize Venezuelan infrastructure and resources.
Reminder that the Nordics were actually quite excited about racial science and purity. Here in Sweden we pretended to be neutral, while experimenting on native populations (all the Nordics did this) and giving full access to the Nazis to use our railroads and resources to invade Norway.
Let’s see, the most recent overturn of a eugenics law here in Sweden was… uhmm, let’s see what does the records say. Oh right, it was in 2013, before which trans people were forced to get sterilised if they wanted their gender recognised.
We love to pat ourselves on the back and claim that we’re all progressive and egalitarian, but it’s a bold faced lie.
TL-DR:
He gifted medal to Goebbels because he was a huge fan and wanted an audience with Hitler, one he got and kinda blew.
The Negros are and will remain Negros, a nascent human form from the tropics, rudimentary organs on the body of white society. Instead of founding an intellectual elite, America has established a mulatto studfarm.
Yowza
As the proud parent of two mixed race kids, feel free to refer to my house as the Mulatto Studfarm.
Mulatto Studfarm, now there’s a band name
Today’s nazi wannabe fascists are equally horrible in their opinions, and their grammar is much worse.
Horrific racism aside, if their goal was actually foundation of an intellectual elite or some kind of utopian master society, they wouldn’t defund education, science, art. Their goal has only ever been power and control.
They’re not mutually exclusive. Look at the U.S. today; defund the public programmes that make this accessible to everyone and restrict it to the rich elite that can pay for it.
yowza bo bowza
That’s too much man.
The prize has always been a joke meant to rehabilitate the image of the founder.
I had never heard of this piece of shit before and my life was better for it.
There are quite a few pieces of shit mentioned here.
I know this isn’t the point, but did Goebbels write? This is the literature prize, not the peace prize.
He was an absolute master of propaganda. The best / worst we’ve ever seen to the best of my knowledge. Evil genius doesn’t even scratch the surface.
All the way through the 1920’s and 30’s he masterfully moved public opinion in Germany, shutting down the free press, hosting the Olympics while convincing the West that Germany just wanted peace, nudging the populous towards war, the works.
Edit: thankfully for us all he recorded it in diaries that survived. He was a true believer. Hitler would never have achieved what he did without Goebbels. Others played pivotal roles but fuck me that pair were something.
I know little of it, but thought Speer was the designer of propaganda. The eagle and such.
He was inner circle but wasn’t nearly as public facing until half way through the war then did a massive and very successful rationalisation on their war machine that was too late. The allies were massively out producing them by then and there was no catching up. Not sure how much design work he did though.
Goebbels was the public mouthpiece from the offset.
Propaganda, yeah, it was kind of his thing
Most disappointing combination imaginable of the words “ham” and “sun”
