María Corina Machado, the far-right Venezuelan coup leader who won the Nobel Peace Prize, vowed "massive privatization", offering to sell off $1.7 trillion of her nation's resources to US corporations
The peace prize yes. They’ve made really questionable choices from Kissinger to Obama (Who really did win because Not Bush). No one should take it seriously.
The science ones are generally legitimate. The literature and peace prizes have been wholly co-opted by western interests. The economics prize isn’t even a real Nobel, it’s just a prize sponsored by the Swedish central bank and administered by the Nobel Institute, and it’s a pure PR tool for legitimizing neoliberalism.
Most things are named after pieces of shit. Being a piece of shit is the number one way to get something named after you. That’s not to say the Nobels aren’t a sham, but conceptually there are more offensive things than a prize that’s supposed to go to someone who contributes to humanity. Impressive that the system so effectively coopted them to do more shitty things. Important lesson there.
That’s a very risky statement. wałęsa is the personification of the worst stereotypes of lumpenproletariat, he would DID sold entire nation under the tyranny of the exact same capitalism she is doing. If that would entail violent forever war at the hand of USA, why not, in a blink.
Ah, so it’s wałęsa type of nobel.
I feel like at least half of the peace prizes have been given to pro-western / color revolution “dissidents” since the 60s
And the other half to the war mongers like Henry Kissinger and Obama.
Also, wasn’t the Nobel Prize kind of just a western PR stunt?

Right and even the guy it’s named after tho. Kind of a piece of shit.

At least Wałęsa didn’t want his nation to die under tyranny.
