    That there’s notorious war criminals still alive such as Henry Kissinger that probably won’t face any repercussions for their atrocities in their lifetimes.

    Also there are billionaires and politicians in power that could easily at least start switching to clean energy and plastic alternatives but choose not to.

      Kissinger received a fucking Nobel Peace Prize.

      It was one of the defining moments of my childhood that turned me into a radical.

        Jason Steele (of Charlie the Unicorn fame) used to do a show called Vulo Lives which has a recurring game called Guess That War Criminal. The hint was always that they were also a Nobel Peace Prize winner. There were… quite a few of them.

        Honestly, they’re all brilliant but the Grimace and Picachu episodes in particular are amazing:

        And I bet Alfred Nobel is still rolling in his grave for that considering the whole reason he proposed the Nobel Prizes.

      Kissinger was on the board of Theranos, which feels a little anachronistic to me.
