      Neutrality is a lie.

      We were all high and mighty about our neutrality here in Sweden as well. Which took the form of eugenics, feeding the Nazi war machine with iron, and letting the Nazis use our railroads to invade Norway. So the truth of it is really that we were just as excited about that white-übermensch idea as the rest of the nazis were.

      We overturned one such eugenics law in 2013, and I’m not even sure if that’s the last one. 2013 is really fucking recent for realising that eugenics is bad, actually.

    Reminder that the Swiss happily stole the balances of German jews who had tried to hide their money in them and just refused to ever give it back. Even after making settlements following lawsuits in the 90s, they still retained the money from the people who died in the holocaust.

    They also aided the Nazis in hiding their stolen assets during and long after the war, most of which was never recovered.
