Oh well, the comments will also be filled with complaints about Kissinger, Obama, Teresa, Arafat... and how the prize therefore somehow is worthless. 2020 thread has 30 comments mentioning Trump, 20 comments mentioning Obama.. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24728142
Instead of celebrating the winners, some people just want to complain.
Both are valid topics.
Sure, but is it worth discussing again and again and again? To me it's like beating a dead horse. Every year, the same discussion here. Drowns the more interesting discussion about the actual winners.
I get your point.
It is possible, however, that it's different people each year having roughly the same conversation.
But this is true of many topics.
Talking about Trump is also like beating a dead horse to some people. Doesn't really matter. People are allowed to talk about stuff.
Dead horses don’t generally beat themselves, after all; hobby horses doubly so.

Well.. assuming the winner isn't a war criminal we can celebrate at least :P
