'Peace' Has No Meaning When Right-Wingers Like Maria Corina Machado Win the Nobel Prize | "If Henry Kissinger could win a Peace Prize, why not María Corina Machado? Maybe next year they’ll give one to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation for 'compassion under occupation.'"

'Peace' Has No Meaning When Right-Wingers Like Maria Corina Machado Win the Nobel Prize

As Venezuelan-American, I know exactly what Machado represents: the smiling face of Washington’s regime-change machine, the polished spokesperson for sanctions, privatization, and foreign intervention dressed up as democracy.

It's wild that liberals with have things like "antifa" in their bios, while their skeets indicate support for cops and they endlessly cheer for Dem politicians like Pritzker that are literally responsible for this. They don't seem to understand that fascism is a bipartisan phenomenon.

Refusal to mask up is a violent act; it increases the risk of premature death for those around you.
It's like second-hand smoke - you won't see somebody fall over dead today from 1 breath, but the only way to prevent the damage of long-term exposure is clean air mandates in all shared spaces.

US research:

"COVID-19 may have created a new year-round baseline for work absences...similar to influenza season conditions before the pandemic"

jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

"Policymakers should consider...policies & actions that mitigate the spread of #COVID19"

#LongCovid #CovidIsNotOver

Key Points
Question Following the COVID-19 pandemic, has SARS-CoV-2 circulation been associated with health-related absences from work and labor force exits?

Findings In this nationally representative cohort study of approximately 158.4 million workers, rates of health-related work absences remained elevated after the pandemic and were associated with circulating SARS-CoV-2 and subsequent decreases in labor force participation by absence-affected workers.

Meaning These findings suggest that COVID-19 may have created a new year-round baseline for work absences that is similar to influenza season conditions before the pandemic; policymakers should consider expanding interventions and data collection efforts to address the negative impacts of COVID-19 on the labor force.

It is our firm belief that María Corina Machado's courageous and selfless leadership, and unyielding dedication to the pursuit of peace and democratic ideals, make her a most deserving candidate for this prestigious award. Her efforts not only highlight the urgent need for international solidarity in the face of aggressive and expansive authoritarianism but also serve as a reminder of the power of individual bravery in the quest for justice.
María Corina Machado's peaceful resistance to tyrants and her ability to organize
and lead a non-violent movement for democracy and human rights is exemplary. Her unwavering moral compass and commitment to democratic peace for her country and the region are an example to the world. She and the movement she created represents a stark contrast to the Maduro dictatorship and its supporters around the world who have helped him subdue, oppress and impoverish the people of Venezuela.
We hope that the Nobel Committee will recognize María Corina Machado's
remarkable contributions and grant her the distinction she so rightly deserves.
Sincerely,
R-Aut

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

When the AI bubble bursts, it's going to be a threat to the entire economy that results in a massive bailout, because they're deliberately making OpenAI "too big to fail." It's tentacles are spreading everywhere, risking financial contagion in every part of society and the global economy.
