I wonder how history will look back at this time. Or the people of Omicron Persei 8 when that content reaches them.

I guess the way we look back at Nazi Germany.

Hitler had the almost exact same propaganda going, and he even got the Nobel Peace Prize...

Misinformation, Hitler didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize, he was nominated as a joke: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/hitler-nominated-nobel-peace-prize/

Hitler (...) even got the Nobel Peace Prize

No, he didn't. He was nominated ironically by one politician.

a nomination no one took under serious consideration. He was nominated in 1939 by a member of the Swedish parliament, E.G.C. Brandt.

Technically, the Nobel Committee cannot control the nominations that pour in. According to the Nobel Prize website, a nomination is valid if it is submitted by “members of national assemblies and national governments.” So Brandt was able to submit this nomination. However, Brandt's nomination of Hitler was not intended to be taken seriously, and he described it as ironical.

Read the article to understand the point he was trying to make.

Well today i learned, hitler was nominated for a nobel peace prize in 1939, but it was more a tongue in cheeck nomination

https://www.nobelpeacecenter.org/en/news/hitler-as-a-nobel-laureate

The nomination of Chamberlain provoked him to nominate Hitler as a provocation against Hitler and Nazism. The result of the Munich Agreement was that the western powers stabbed Czechoslovakia in the back by handing over Sudetenland to achieve peace

But the irony was lost on people, ans the nomination was withdrawn at the last moment, ans regardless no peace prize was ever awarded for 1939 due to ww2 breaking out

he even got the Nobel Peace Prize…

He did not get the peace prize. Literally anyone can be "nominated" for a prize, it's an open nomination process. But he did get Time Magazine's Person of the Year in 1938.

Kinda like how we're all Time's Person of the Year for 2006
