Damn, now they can’t celebrate war criminals being given the nobel prize for peace.
It’s the science prizes that are given out in Stockholm. The peace Prize is given out in Oslo. The real reason they decided to uninvite the aforementioned countries is the king told the committee that he didn’t want dictatorships at a party where he was handing out the prizes, and threatened not to come.
the king told the committee that he didn’t want dictatorships
Yeah the king of Sweden is such a ruthless dictator.
Lol.
It’s racist to not give a black war criminal the Nobel Peace Prize.

This kind of selective application of values - where warcrimes are ignored or acknowledged purely based on geopolitical alignment - is more loathsome to me than no application of values at all: cynical, bad faith, weaponised hypocrisy.
The kbin thumbnail is literally a frost giant. I’m imagining the old norse gods proclaiming who gets to go to the nobel prize ceremony. https://kbin.social/media/cache/resolve/entry_thumb/9c/d1/9cd1f6e2e1daa45dde936c4a1a7f948946313edda2debb4294e9b0b8d8040c6c.png
