No disrespect to the winners that are actually good, but most of these kinds of prizes at least try to pretend to be impartial, unlike this one. The peace prize comitee is literally just five retired Norwegian politicians directly appointed by the Norwegian parliament. How are these politicians in anyway suited to award a peace prize when they enthusiastically support and participate in every single nato invasion and bombing? Why the fuck do people care about this prize lmao.
You get it for being able to piss six feet straight up without getting yourself wet.
Remember when Barack Obama won a peace prize like 9 months into his first term for basically nothing?
No one was even able to explain why he got it. There are many bad ones, but that one might be the most confusing.
The 2009 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to United States President Barack Obama for his "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples".[1]
Obama accepted the prize in Oslo on December 10, 2009. In a 36-minute speech, he discussed the tensions between war and peace and the idea of a "just war"[5] saying, "perhaps the most profound issue surrounding my receipt of this prize is the fact that I am the Commander-in-Chief of the military of a nation in the midst of two wars."[6] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Nobel_Peace_Prize
Lol when even the guy getting the award doesn't get it either.
No disrespect to the winners
you do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it" to the Nobel Prize
Nobel prize in science fields: cool and good
Nobel peace prize: not exactly
I mean the reason Nobel prizes are a thing is that obituaries describing Nobel as being bad for inventing dynamite for war got published accidentally when he was still alive, and he decided to change how he would be remembered so he made awards for people who do good things(mostly)
The media promotes the idea that it is prestigious and deserved, so the unquestioning public absorbs it as fact. As a propaganda tool, it's now more effective.
The dumbest subject of all. can you believe they call this fucking shit a science?
Throwback to the nerds who won one, got to manage a hedgefund because of their findings, and lost billions.
Speaking of swimming that reminds that me of when I was watching the Olympic opening ceremonies and all of Zimbabwe's swimmers were white. Just goes to show resources didn't get equalized after colonialism.
In :kkkanada: there's hockey parents who spend 20k a year on one kids extra coaching, fitness trainers, etc. Hockey dads have even bought minor league teams for their kids to play on. Shit's ridiculous.
