Obama getting the peace prize was pretty much all "look at this guy! Look how much he isn't bush!" euphoria.
I considered it a kind of general insult to half the country on behalf of the Nobel committee. I had a pretty low opinion of the peace prize before, but that kind of sealed it.
Okay that is stupid.
Seriously come on, should we never give the peace prize to any elected world leaders because hey, not everyone voted for that guy!
so fucking what, you elected him.
we should not give it to any leaders because they were elected, no. Nothing Obama did warranted a peace prize beforehand, and frankly nothing he's done since warrants one either.
Giving a prize to a leader because "yay, you got rid of Bush!" is equivalent to "hey, half of America, fuck you". I don't approve.
But then generally I think we give too much of a shit what the rest of the world thinks. I prefer when they are reacting to us, rather than the reverse.
they are reacting to us re: Trump right now. The reaction is horror, laughter, and mockery. Usually all 3. So you're saying you prefer that?
If we, as a nation, do what we believe is right and align ourselves with the values in our Constitution, the rest of the world can either stand alongside us, deal with the consequences of opposing us, or keep their mouths shut and stay in own their fking lane.
For the most part the world doesn't give a shit about you and what you're doing inside your country, or your constitution. US domestic policy has no unusually outsized play, internationally.
Lots of little mysteries. I'm very intrigued by the Lord Ruler.
The Mistborn trilogy is so good! The extra books are kinda eh but the main trilogy is fantastic.
Anyone who is curious, the basic idea is:
A group of heroes came together to stop the apocalypse. Except they failed. 1000 years later, the story starts. It has a really really cool magic system too.
