Several Swedish lawmakers said Friday they will boycott this year’s Nobel Prize ceremonies after the private foundation that administers the prestigious awards changed its policy and invited Russia, Belarus and Iran who had previously been barred from attending.
I’m sorry to break this to you guys, but the Nobel peace prize looooves war criminals. They gave one to Henry Kissinger ffs.
That said this does change my view of the NPP, I always thought they were sycophantic poll chasers who only gave awards to people with good enough PR to hide what monsters they are. Somehow they’ve now aligned themselves with moustache-twirling evil instead of the nonchalant kind.
The peace prize is awarded by Norway, not Sweden
