    Nobel Peace Prize is a joke. Fuck Nobel Prizes! Let’s just stop paying attention to them and focus on the Princess of Asturias Awards instead. I know it’s not perfect, among its laureates you will find Google, Woody Allen, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Marina Abramović but I think so far no war criminal got it. The Princess for sure has way more integrity than the assholes from Nobel committees.

      I say how about we don’t have anyone pretending to give special prizes on behalf of everyone else, especially not organisations named after warmongering cunts or royal cunts.

      Maybe we should just have a rule like no billionaires or generational wealth will be recognized for doing something good with all that extra money they have but that might backfire and eliminate the bare minimum number of people that actually contribute something positive with the wealth they’ve accumulated but could never actually use it all in their lifetime even if they tried.
