    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.
