[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No doubt Machado is a deserving candidate for the prize, but I also think the choice of someone fighting autocratic rule and the words of the Nobel committee about the retreat of democracy and the rise of authoritarianism is in part meant as a big FU to one Donald J. Trump.[/quote]

The peace prize should be for people who advance peace, not democracy. And it certainly shouldn’t be used as an FU to anyone. This is about as serious as the Academy Awards which end up just being some political award that doesn’t actually matter anymore. [/quote]

What? Do you think true peace exists in an absence of democracy?[/quote]

Why do you democracy fetishists think peace and democracy go hand in hand? It seems like democracies in fact are almost constantly at war, often for the stupidest things. Have we forgotten our own adventures in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and dozens of other places we'd rather pretend didn't happen?

If the Nobel people want to give a Democracy prize, just go ahead and do that. Or even, "the person that will most annoy the current leader of the Republican party of America" prize.

And no, I don't think Trump should get this either. [/quote]
