    I looked into a bit (wow, Urdu is a really pretty-looking language) and google translate described as "the act of praising to convey meaning"

    Is it like excessively praising the leaders not necessarily to impress the leaders themselves but to impress other sycophants? Like "I am more patriotic than you"?

      I thought the idea of anybody nominating Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize stretched beyond the confines of plausible reality, but then I discovered the Nobel Peace Prize recipient of 1973.

      The thing is Trump only wants the peace prize because Obama got one. He literally has the mind of a toddler.

        No no. Thats not quite it. Its about being a kiss ass, a bootlicker or brown nosing. It does have a negative connotation. Also implies the person who's ass you kiss is a 'superior', a person with authority.

        And yeah Urdu is a beautiful language, it was created to be so. Even visually calligraphy is one of the most important art forms here historically.

            He wanted a Nobel Peace Prize after he saw that Obama got one. He wanted his silly little parade after he saw Macron get one. Maybe it’s time to show him what some other rulers got.

              I remember someone posting a meme on Lemmy asking how Kissinger was still alive like a week before he died. We need a few repeats.

                Nobel Prize committee made quite some blunders over the years but they really swapped war crimes and peace tables that year.

                  Pakistani military will sell their mother if it meant spiting India. It's the shortcut to get public support instead of doing the hard work of improving the country.

                  I know this because Indian party in power (BJP) does this too, maybe to a lesser degree, but they do it nonetheless.

                  People need to understand that "India vs Pakistan" is really (Indian rightwing + religious fundamentalists) vs (Pakistani Army + religious fundamentalis)

                    Multiple recipients of that prize have gone on to commit or support genocide and other war crimes.

                      As a Pakistani. Pls ignore everything we say. We're fucking idiots and massive sycophants.
                      Partly bc we are fucked by IMF. And y'all are politically smart enough to understand the IMF and the world bank are a way for the us and allies to dominate the rest of the world

                      'Chaaploosi' is the Urdu word, sycophancy is the English translation. Sycophancy honestly doesn't get across just how specifically chaaploosi explains it. The perfect word for it if someone speaks the language here.

                      Your comment and the replies are so beautiful, man. Just humans being humans together. Imagine if the people ran the country instead of the leaders.
