My vest literally has “antifa commie scum” written on the back in white paint, along with 1312 and “kill nazis”
I like it
That seems very expected.
Spoken like someone who’s actually from Ukraine, not Russia
The oppressive Soviet leadership seized the rightful Russian territory of Crimea and gave it to Ukraine. Yet another example of Communist disregard for sovereignity.
Communism built a society in which an insufferable goober like that is able to spend all their time playing a little game while pretending it’s important. Those tAnKiE sCuM won WW2 so he could play with horsey pieces instead of working.

Bitch, you were born in Azerbaijan and grew up in Minsk. What the fuck do you know about living in Russia?
“Gratismut” is a german compound word made out of the two words “Gratis” (for free)" and “Mut” (courage) that describes the concept of taking a stand for or against something at a point in time when there’s literally no discernible consequences left for doing it

Death to America
Kasparov was virtually created by Botvinnik - “a staunch communist” in K’s own words; K himself greatly benefitted from (and wouldn’t exist without) the “oppressive shithole”; K was a member of communist party for too long - IIRC he was one of the last liberals to leave it in early nineties(!) which, somehow, didn’t stop him to play the role of “freedom fighter”- the image western media exploited to 110% in late 80s.
Elite chess players can be strange too. Kasparov popularized this wacky conspiracy theory.
The new chronology is a pseudohistorical conspiracy theory proposed by Anatoly Fomenko who argues that events of antiquity generally attributed to the ancient civilizations of Rome, Greece and Egypt actually occurred during the Middle Ages, more than a thousand years later.
[…]
Fomenko’s historical ideas have been universally rejected by mainstream scientists, historians, and scholars, who brand them as pseudohistory, pseudoarchaeology, and pseudoscience, but were popularized by former world chess champion Garry Kasparov. Billington writes that the theory “might have quietly blown away in the wind tunnels of academia” if not for Kasparov’s writing in support of it in the magazine Ogoniok.
Kasparov met Fomenko during the 1990s, and found that Fomenko’s conclusions concerning certain subjects were identical to his own regarding the popular view (which is not the view of academics) that art and culture died during the Dark Ages and were not revived until the Renaissance.
Kasparov also felt it illogical that the Romans and the Greeks living under the banner of Byzantium could fail to use the mounds of scientific knowledge left them by Ancient Greece and Rome, especially when it was of urgent military use. Kasparov does not support the reconstruction part of the new chronology.

Many such cases; a whole lot of
's culty fandom is that believe that landing a publicly-funded private bazinga rocket on Mars is some sort of “science victory” that makes humanity’s credits roll and waves hands wildly wins the game somehow and that nothing matters except that performative moment.
Vibes-based historical analysis
fail to use the mounds of scientific knowledge left them

Fuck I just made a joke about that and you already posted it. I am the inferior poster :(
Chess players are literally no better than gamers
Like all joking aside…that’s basically all they are, right? There’s a generation of movie and supervillain cliches building up this idea that being good at chess requires and/or unlocks some kind of deep mental super power but its all just pattern recognition and puzzle solving right? That’s obviously not nothing and requires a degree of mental acuity and discipline to become a master at but imagine seriously caring about what Daigo Umehara thinks about Israel/Palestine or something and you can quickly see how ridiculous it is.
Less actually. The gimmick of chess is modeling and memorizing lots of plays. In fighting games you have to be humble and train to get stronger then be able to deeply understand your opponent to outplay them. Bonus because of historical accidents fighting games are heavily poc and working class. So you can get some terrible takes there but bet your average pro fgc probably has better politics than your average pro chess player.
Very fun to see the reactionary shitheads like LTG just get routinely clowned on over the years when they spout hateful shit. There’s a lot of problematic trends/culture in the FGC but you’re spot on about the make up & attitudes of the community. When one of the most popular players is a black nonbinary furry then there’s at least something good there
Video games are actually fun
Yet another proof that learning chess makes you skilled only in… chess.
Chess does have transferable skills like most games though, it just doesn’t make you smarter at everything
How one acquired power by fighting for the powerless was never explained
