@that_lurker @jerry

Yeah but how is it different to the Nobel Peace Prize?

Show threadthat_lurkerJan 4
@adamsaidsomething @jerry Well before the recent events the Noble Peace Prize was awarded to the person who had done most for "fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses"

@sonjdol it didnโ€™t exist until a few months ago when the head of FIFA wanted to suck up to Trump.

@jerry @sonjdol Suck up to Trump -> ??? -> Profit

@budgegeria @sonjdol itโ€™s basically a chemical reaction that involves a quantity of gold and proximity to whatever is in that bronzer that results in either presidential pardons or removed regulations.

@jerry Maybe if they had given him the Nobel, then this all wouldn't have happened. So when you really think about it, its Norway's fault.

Can we all demand Fifa take the peace prize back?

Because that would be so funny.

@SuperMoosie we could try, but the head of FIFA is a pretty big sycophant for Trump

There are simple mechanisms:
Trump insults you? You did something right.
FIFA awards you a price? You got accepted in the knighthood of the Corruption Brothers.
German banks close your account? You're on the right path.

@jerry It's yet another example of the Sir Humphrey Appleby school of namingโ€ฆ always put the difficult bit in the title, it does less damage there than the text.

In this case, it's a "peace prize" awarded to a warmonger, who happens to be the head of state for a country that calls itself the "United" states of America.
