状语从句If the Nobel committee’s handing over of the Nobel Peace Prize to newly elected President Obama seemed like the nadir of the prize’s prestige, there’s now another thing coming.
According to The Guardian:
The Black Lives Matter movement has been nominated for the 2021 Nobel peace prize for the way 定语从句its call for systemic change has spread around the world.
In his nomination papers, the Norwegian MP Petter Eide said 宾语从句the movement had forced countries outside the US to grapple with racism within their own societies.
“I find that one of the key challenges 定语从句we have seen in America, but also in Europe and Asia, is the kind of increasing conflict 分词状语based on inequality,” Eide said. “Black Lives Matter has become a very important worldwide movement to fight racial injustice.
“They have had a tremendous achievement in raising global awareness and consciousness about racial injustice.”
That’s right: a group 分词定语led by self-described “trained Marxists” 定语从句who literally spent time with Hugo Chávez in Venezuela and then triggered night after night of violent looting riots at a cost of at least 25 lives and a record $2 billion in insured property claims (probably much more in uninsured property), and grotesque Red Guard–style repudiation scenes such as forcing restaurant diners to wave their fists in solidarity or face overturned tables and assault, is somehow…worthy of the world’s top award for peace.
Back in 1964, 定语从句when Martin Luther King, Jr. was awarded the same prize for calls to judge people on the content of their character over color, along with non-violent resistance, there was a recognizable standard for peace. Such approaches don’t cut it anymore for this Norwegian bunch. And to place BLM in the same league as MLK Jr., is kind of obscene.
The Norwegian pol 定语从句who put the nomination out cited BLM’s capacity to mobilize as his criterion. But that seems to be pretty shaky ground, 状语从句given that so many leftists out there really just wanted to Get Trump. BLM has since morphed into 名词从句what appears to be a corporate shakedown racket and managed to get its Marxist identity politics party line into every corporate boardroom in America. But the capacity to use muscling community organizer tactics is no evidence of morality, or more pointedly, peace. BLM is never going to be satisfied 状语从句no matter how much kowtowing is done; each victory 定语从句it wins brings a bigger demand to its marks, without ceasing, 状语从句until its will to absolute power is achieved. Sound like peace? Only of the grave.
主语从句What it highlights is how low the Nobel Peace Prize has fallen. Sure, this Norwegian socialist clown 分词定语doing the nominating likely has no idea 名词从句what’s going on in the States, 状语从句given that he lives in isolated Norway, takes in meetings with activists, and reads only the leftist press. The idiocy of his proposal tops that of the Norwegians 宾补handing out a Nobel prize to Barack Obama just for getting elected president and being black without doing anything else.
In both instances, the Nobel committee nominators seem to relish anyone with the ability to exert leftist power, 分词状语equating that kind of power-mongering with “peace.” It’s a sorry act 定语从句they’ve come to, 不定式主语to worship power over any semblance of authentic peace. 状语从句If this is peace, what a sorry state of affairs we have, mau-mauing triumph over actual creating of peace. Will all Nobel Peace Prize recipients have to show proof of starting riots to qualify now? How, exactly, is riot-making “peace”? One likes to suppose 宾语从句that this nomination will go nowhere, but with the current nonsense 宾补going on, don’t bet on it.
