María Corina Machado, the far-right Venezuelan coup leader who won the Nobel Peace Prize, vowed "massive privatization", offering to sell off $1.7 trillion of her nation's resources to US corporations
Most things are named after pieces of shit. Being a piece of shit is the number one way to get something named after you. That’s not to say the Nobels aren’t a sham, but conceptually there are more offensive things than a prize that’s supposed to go to someone who contributes to humanity. Impressive that the system so effectively coopted them to do more shitty things. Important lesson there.
Right and even the guy it’s named after tho. Kind of a piece of shit.
