I tried to block the anti-adblock and ended up just adblocking the entire website by accident. Guess I didn’t need to read the article after all.

Damn, now they can’t celebrate war criminals being given the nobel prize for peace.
It’s the science prizes that are given out in Stockholm. The peace Prize is given out in Oslo. The real reason they decided to uninvite the aforementioned countries is the king told the committee that he didn’t want dictatorships at a party where he was handing out the prizes, and threatened not to come.

Yeah the king of Sweden is such a ruthless dictator.
Lol.
It’s racist to not give a black war criminal the Nobel Peace Prize.
Not even the same commitee dimwit
Damn, now war criminals can’t celebrate with those getting the Nobel Prize for science
There will be plenty of Western ones present I am sure
What about, what about, what about
I don’t even get how this one is a whataboutism to be honest, you literally stated that war criminals can’t celebrate with Nobel Prize winners and then somebody pointed out that there will be in fact be representatives from countries that have committed war crimes, or more accurately, have fulfilled every qualification for being war criminals but haven’t been sentenced or punished because they control the institutions.
if you’d have said “Russian, Iranian, and Belarusian war criminals can’t celebrate…” then you’d still be a complete fucking dipshit but at least you wouldn’t be totally incorrect in your accusation.
Neolibs use “whataboutism” to avoid responding to comments that actually make them consider whether their beliefs are silly or not. Instead of actually considering the argument they slit out a buzzword and promptly ignore whatever was said.
Well yes, what about it?
The kbin thumbnail is literally a frost giant. I’m imagining the old norse gods proclaiming who gets to go to the nobel prize ceremony. https://kbin.social/media/cache/resolve/entry_thumb/9c/d1/9cd1f6e2e1daa45dde936c4a1a7f948946313edda2debb4294e9b0b8d8040c6c.png
Sometimes I love this glitch
This kind of selective application of values - where warcrimes are ignored or acknowledged purely based on geopolitical alignment - is more loathsome to me than no application of values at all: cynical, bad faith, weaponised hypocrisy.
