@MeiningerMatt@Mollyploofkins So both the blue and the red gang engage in neo-feudalistic nepotism and their followers get on social media and attack one another...
The Nobel Peace Prize must be abolished.
It represents no one but the West.
It is the moral coin of an empire pretending to be human.
A trophy passed from one war criminal to another for keeping the right wars alive.
Every year, the committee finds a new pawn to sanctify.
Its latest laureate, María Corina Machado, a woman backed by Washington, groomed for regime change, and sold to the world as a "democrat."
A mask of virtue placed over the face of intervention.
The Nobel Peace Prize was never about peace.
It was about permission.
A way to baptize imperial projects in humanitarian perfume, to turn aggression into virtue and subservience into prestige.
The so-called "international community" is not the world.
It is a club of the violent, giving itself awards for restraint.
It is the colonizer applauding itself for pausing between invasions.
You cannot honor peace with blood still drying on your hands.
You cannot sanctify justice with Western applause.
And you cannot build morality on medals.
If the Nobel Committee had any conscience left, it would melt its prizes down and use the gold to rebuild the schools its laureates helped destroy.
Until then, every new recipient is not a peacemaker.
They are the PR department of empire.
@thecoastguy Instead of dancing in my empty hospital I volunteered to do COVID disaster nursing on the Navajo & Apache rez's. Many other nurses, instead of making videos, took travel jobs in high impact areas where nurses were dying or quitting. Either your area was slow or getting hammered.
As the ceasefire took effect, Palestinians in Gaza are trying to restore the bare essentials of a decent life, clearing rubble and rebuilding whatever they can amid the devastation.
