The prize should've gone to the Freedom Flotilla, for actually helping humanity. Only through free socialism can peace be achieved!

Greta is still arrested in Israel or has she been released? She put her life to deliver food to people dying from genocide TWICE ... and instead they give it to someone who was legitimizing and supporting American invasion of their own country. Just like when Saddam fell and the US installed all their corrupt Iraqi cronies who labbied the US to take him down. What a disgracful joke
Greta has been released but an elderly Spanish woman is still being held hostage and tortured by Israel.
An institution that has already laureated Henry Kissinger cannot be taken seriously. Corrupted and biased institution
Please explain. What was the issue?
Henry Kissinger is responsible for war crimes in Cambodia during the Vietnam war whose effects we're still dealing w today; an institution that celebrates this legacy should not be well regarded nor respected.
*was
you mean the proto-fascist opposition?
yeah nobel prizes are bullshit aren't they? now that i remember it, fucking obama got one.
Has the peace prize always been bullshit ?
They gave one to Henry Kissinger
I'm pretty sure thats the one kissinger won so... yeah.
Yes indeed
The positive side
The US is planning a regime change in Venezuela. No doubt they would love to use the "we bring Democracy by installing a Nobel peace prize winner" angle.
The USA decided where this prize went.
I'm sure Norwegian oil and mining companies already causing environmental damage and poisoning communities in the Amazon had a few things to say as well.
She donated her award to Trump and asked him to invade Venezuela, lol.
The prize committee is a seriously unfunny joke.
Greta Thumberg was the one who deserved it imo but I can see the point of giving the prize to Mrs.Machado
It's an attempt to legitimize an attack on venezuela.
The peace prize is unfortunately used to promote war.
I can't. She's a puppet for Washington. An heiress of the Venezuelan oligarchic elite whose only intention is to destabilize the government so she and her cronies can sell off Venezuela's natural resources, notably oil, while cutting public services and pocketing the cash for themselves.
This is literally just "Maduro bad, opposition good." This is like putting a healthcare CEO's granddaughter up in the US as we've only begun to recover, 25 years after removing Trump from power, and a powerful enemy state; let's say Russia; sabotaging any recovery, pointing at the results of their sabotage as proof recovery has failed, and awarding Ms. Thompson numerous prizes and recognition for being hated by the public and rightfully prevented from holding power. And that's to say nothing of whatever leader would actually be in power in that scenario.
Yep, same reason they gave it to Kissinger and other war criminals, the "Peace Prize" is whatever benefits western imperialism the most, generally.
She asked the US and Israel to invade and bomb Venezuela... I can see the point of giving her the prize, but it's not in the name of peace.
I can't see the point of giving her the prize, she's asking the US Empire to overthrow a democratically elected government trying to establish a socialist system.
The point is to manufacture consent for violent regime change.
Oh, gotcha, then I agree. Thought you were saying you supported giving the prize to that fascist.
Yes ofc,that was the point I was thinking of, she's a zionist
Wasn't Médecines Sans Frontières nominated as well?
Much more deserving, along with Greta and the rest of the Flotilla.
They are seriously one of the few large organizations I still donate to.
They also won the 1999 prize, and are famously the peace prize winner who were bombed by another peace prize winner in 2015 (Barack Obama).
Why does the article not have a picture of the winner?
It does, but I edited it. That is the meme. I think it's going over the heads of a lot of people.
Ooooh now I see why you linked the other news story
