Woof.
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.

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.
