President Donald Trump met Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado on Thursday, whose political party is widely believed to have beaten former President Nicolás Maduro in the 2024 election.
Julian Assange is infamous for being selective regarding the info he chooses to release or comment upon. I don’t really care what he has to say.
It was given to her for her activism against Maduro and due to the persecution she faced for that.
The prize is given for a specific reason. It always has been. Now you’re trying to make up bullshit about how it’s supposed to either 1.) predict the future or 2.) indicate that the person has otherwise always made the right call.
Should Nelson Mandela also not have received it because he engaged in sabotage?
Andrei Sakharov was a dedicated Soviet scientist who turned dissident. Should he have been disqualified for his Soviet past?
Your dishonest bullshit can’t obscure the history of the prize and what it has always been awarded for.
Yeah but they also gave one to Kissinger
Well obviously they didn’t learn from that
They gave it t Machado months before she outed herself as a fan of violent coups.
Is there something difficult to understand? They can’t predict the future.
And the Committee’s shitty decision regarding Kissinger doesn’t mean every recipient is Kissinger.
I’ve read a lot of bad things about her

Ok, the dude I was responding to obviously wasn’t talking about Kissinger.
This thread is talking about how the Nobel prize committee is an embarrassment.
This thread is talking about Machado specifically. It’s right there in the fucking title.
Does anyone here know what context is?
Yes. The post is about her.
This THREAD starts with:
“She’s such a cringy moron. The Nobel committee is an embarrassment”
So both her and the committee are a part of this convo.
Do YOU know what context is?
