    I gotta admit, this pick has been fitting to the true nature of the modern Nobel Peace Prize.

    On the one hand, this is not funny, because it’s more incitement for war. On the other hand, it’s extremely funny to advocate for your country to get invaded the day you receive a Nobel Peace Prize.

        We at least would obviously be joking and irony posting about Trump winning the prize, because it would’ve been just another sign of global liberal institutions rotting from the inside out, unlike libs we have no respect for the Nobel racket

        Liberals on the other hand were stone-cold serious when they praised her for winning, no irony within miles, they genuinely believe this shit matters

    Giving the prize to a dissident, who you will find out have said the vilest shit ever if you take more than 5 seconds to read up on them, is a nobel prize classic at this point.

    Too bad liberals don’t ever read.

      Case in point: Liu Xiaobo, the anti-PRC NED-funded “dissident” who won the Nobel peace prize in 2010.

      On Iraq:

      “Regardless of the savagery of the terrorists, and regardless of the instability of Iraq’s situation, and, what’s more, regardless of how patriotic youth might despise proponents of the United States such as myself, my support for the invasion of Iraq will not waver. Just as, from the beginning, I believed that the military intervention of Britain and the United States would be victorious, I am still full of belief in the final victory of the Freedom Alliance and the democratic future of Iraq, and even if the armed forces of Britain and the United States should encounter some obstacles such as those that they are currently facing, this belief of mine will not change.”[51]

      He also supported the US wars on Vietnam, Korea, and Bush’s invasion of Afghanistan.

      On Israel:

      “without America’s protection, the long persecuted Jews who faced extermination during World War II, would probably be drowned once more by the Islamic world’s hatred.”

      Advocating colonialism:

      It took 100 years of British colonialism to bring Hong Kong up to its level of development and public order, and that it might take 300 years to do the same for the Chinese mainland.

      On 30 June 2023, she was disqualified for fifteen years by the comptroller general of Venezuela, after a request from the politician José Brito. The comptroller linked her to alleged crimes by Juan Guaidó and accused her of supporting sanctions during the Venezuelan crisis

      […]

      Political views

      Machado is anti-chavismo and has disagreed with other sections of the Venezuelan opposition.[104][105][106] In 2011, she campaigned as a promotor of “popular capitalism”.[106] Machado supports the privatization of state-run entities in Venezuela, including oil company PDVSA.[72][105] Machado has supported the international sanctions during the Venezuelan crisis,[72] and has advocated for foreign intervention to remove Maduro on humanitarian grounds.[107][108] In 2023, she ran as a candidate in the opposition presidential primaries.[109][110] The Maduro administration subsequently barred her from running.[111] She became the main driving force for the main opposition candidate, Edmundo González, who was allowed to compete by the Maduro regime.[112]

      Domestically, Machado has called for the banning of reelection to political office, is in favor of same-sex marriage, supports the legalization of medical cannabis, and has called for a national debate on the legality of abortion in cases involving risk to the mother’s life or instances ofremoved.[113] In a 2024 interview, Machado talked of making education available for all Venezuelans and of reforming the country’s judiciary.[114] On several occasions, Machado has identified the United Kingdom’s Margaret Thatcher as the politician she most admires.[115][116]\

      Foreign policy

      Regarding the Israel–Palestine conflict, Machado expressed her solidarity with Israel following the attacks of 7 October 2023.[117] She thanked Israel for its support of Edmundo González as president-elect,[118] and previously of Juan Guaidó as acting president.[119] Machado planned to reestablish diplomatic relations with Israel, which were cut in 2009 due to the 2008–2009 Gaza war.[119]

      In February 2025, Machado addressed a Patriots.eu rally in Madrid.[120][121] Machado is a strong supporter of United States President Donald Trump, whom she described in 2025 as a “visionary” in relation to his opposition to the Maduro regime in Venezuela.[122][123] After he deployed the Navy to the Caribbean in 2025, Machado praised the Trump administration.[124] She has expressed support for the use of force to depose the Maduro regime; one of her advisors told the New York Times that she has coordinated with the Trump administration and that she has a plan for the first hundred hours after his deposition

    good strategy on her part. trump loves nothing more than that nobel peace prize and he’s dumb as shit, he’s gonna think now it means he owns the nobel prize. get ready for him saying he has two nobel peace prizes, ended 10 wars, restored the american economy, ended woke and destroyed antifa.

    i think this would have floated under the casual, low-info lib radar and seemed reasonable at first glance, but dedicating it to trump seems like a poor messaging strategy.

    it invites the 30 seconds of scrutiny this bozo cannot stand up to.

        its obviously good for her, but for reputation management of the nobel prize?

        there are always more compradors for the empire, willing to brutalize, imprison and murder their own people for the right to hold the overseers whip. they aren’t important at all beyond the mythmaking of the puppetshow.

        the nobel prize itself is one of the long standing, reality inventing tools for western liberals to comfort themselves that these factory-built, blood-drinking neocolonial administrators are actually independent, humanist and noble adults struggling for their people.

        the disposable comprador in this case is turning on the high powered ceiling fan in the middle of a choreographed smoke and mirrors show to reveal a vampire feeding frenzy, because no real person truly believes trump gives a shit about people anywhere, but especially not in LatAm.

        to publicly give him tribute risks exposing the wider puppet show.

    I think she got yelled at for stealing Trump’s prize and realized he was going to snub the Venezuelan counterrevolution.
