Nobel Peace Prize is meaningless, people don't care about actual genocides why would they care about genocide+ (including rape)?

It's like having your house on fire but patting yourself on the back for fixing a lamp.

It is, like many things, how much meaning you attach to it yourself. Apparently Donald T. thinks it's very important, he makes a lot of fuss about it.

Anyway, the NPP is one of the things that tries to push humanity on a broad scale in a better direction, and I'm grateful for that. It is important to at least speak out about injustice, and to celebrate those who do so, otherwise those injustices are never going to be fixed (I'm not even talking about punishing, although that should be done).
