I’m also a physicist and (also?) a leftist and I don’t think Motl is particularly wrong in your quote. Exaggerated, but I do think the Nobel prizes have a leftist/progressist tendency, and his examples are not that far off. So in the context of this years prize, I think it’s fair criticism, albeit somewhat carelessly delivered and unrigorous.

There's a neoliberal bias where the peace prize is given out to Kissenger, Obama, Arafat/Perez/Rabin. But if you only gave it out to actually peaceful people there would probably be a massive leftist/progressive slant (which makes no sense to the people in the crowd who think the CCP is leftist, but that is their problem).
