  1. The Nobel Peace Prize has been the Nobel Politics Prize for some time. If it was really about peace, it would never ever be given to somebody with separatist ambitions because separatism usually leads to war.

  2. It's all about political sympathies, a fault that I share as well. I am highly sympathetic to the anti-racist movement here in the United States, while at the same time I have precious little sympathy for the movement in Hong Kong. It's hard for me to drop my political blinders and recognize the similarities between the movements, even though they are obvious. I don't think protest in general is effective at causing positive change. I feel like the Civil Rights marches in the sixties were a bit of an outlier. I think in both the cases mentioned above the gains made by those at the start of the movements have been lost by the anger against those that have overplayed it. This is particularly tragic in the United States where the treatment of black Americans (particularly black men) is unforgivable and desperately in need of change.

  3. In fairness she didn't receive it for Rohingya genocidal cleansing, she got involved in that afterwards. The same argument goes for Obama who was awarded the prize for being not-Bush before he was in a position to order drone attacks.
