WTF is wrong with them?
I suspect there must have been some kind of coup in the Nobel leadership. They also invited Swedens far right party leader despite Banning him for over a decade. That on its own hands the far right in Sweden such an optical win that I can only assume it is malicious. As a Swede I am so fucking disappointed in them.
Edit: coup, not cue. I don't write words good.
Assuming you meant "coup" and not "cue." Otherwise, I wouldn't be at all surprised. Several of the people involved in the Nobel committee seem pretty right-wing.
So more batshit-rightwingers-take-over-things-and-break-them?
SAD!
Dude, it's your second language. You write better than a lot of native speakers. Don't beat yourself up over it.
They declined though and said that no one should attend
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
Wrong committee
One of the prizes is for peace... Everyone should be allowed in the interest of peace. Even if the invitees haven't been very peaceful.
Everyone should be allowed.. except countries currently actively invading one. Or currently enaged in warfare in general.
Or currently enaged in warfare in general.
USA will never be invited again. Which is fair.
I think it's fine to invite them so long as they don't get any awards. Keeping an open dialogue is important in any conflict
Keeping an open dialogue is important. I can't help but feel that there are other ways of doing that.
I think I like this take the best. Glad you said this and that I saw it.
Then the US should be banned?
If they have the balls to ban the US, then yeah, they should.
The NPP is awarded in Norway, not Sweden. Considering that the prize has been awarded to various Russian dissidents and Belarussian/Russian oppositional groups the past few years - and that Russia declared the 2021 winner a foreign agent, I'd say it's safe to assume no one from the their official governments will attend anytime soon.
Eeehh the recipients haven't been very peaceful, really, and the novel peace Prize is a joke if you ask me.
Obama got one whilst his drones were bombing civilians.
Mother Theresa got one whilst being known to be a monster
Didn't henry kissit get one too?
Obama winning the Nobel Prize diminished to the level of a Pulitzer, an award named after the father of yellow journalism whose falsehoods started a war.
Yea, everyone should be invited. It's not just for the peace prize, but even then..
Idk what's wrong with people.
I mean maybe to export them afterwards to The Hague Court?
I doubt they invited 130M people + few millions more. Who was invited?

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
