Oh wow. Trump got a hand-me-down Nobel Peace Prize! Did you know: It would not be the first time a Nobel laureate has given his or her medal away: in 1943 Nobel Literature laureate Knut Hamsun gave his medal to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels.

So, is there some kind of echo in here? I did Nazi that one coming.

@funnysnarkyjoke.bsky.social such a waste of talent on such a fuckwit

I still encourage people to read "Hunger"

I promise a work of literature worth reading without a hint of what he was to become (or already was?)

It Is Demanded That You Kow-Tow To the Emperor.

@funnysnarkyjoke.bsky.social The Nobel committee should give him some newly made-up Nobel prizes next year, with a note 'for your collection'

@funnysnarkyjoke.bsky.social
Hamsun's is quite a story, but racism was kind of the default setting in humanity before the mid 20th century. And Hamsun was a legit Nazi.

But I don't think conflating him with Machado is entirely fair. That said, I do agree that everyone should learn about Knut Hamsun. Most revile him today but he's a hero to the meo-nazi movement.

We must learn of their heroes so we detect the dog whistles of which there are MANY as of late, straight from POTUS.

@funnysnarkyjoke.bsky.social
Hardly a coincidence…
However, I thought we were only in the year 1939 by now… 🫣
@funnysnarkyjoke.bsky.social I at first assumed you meant "gave his medal to" in the sense of "give me your medal or these guys shoot you".
@funnysnarkyjoke.bsky.social one fascistic fuckwit gifts it to another, then

@funnysnarkyjoke.bsky.social

What year did a world wide soccer association give Joseph Goebbels the made up peace prize?

@funnysnarkyjoke.bsky.social I did not know that! Damn, thought Hunger was brilliant. Was Hamsun one of those early mitlaüfers who learnt the error of his ways, or was he a full blown Nazi?
