Cancel culture gossip on lichess. Well why not. It is everywhere else.
We are at war with Eurasia. We have always been at war with Eurasia!

So war is good and politics is good in sports as long as it serves the western agenda like Us invasion like homosexuality and lgbtq support
Like Israel invasion and war crime against palastine
Like china's oppression against Uygur
Or American invasion of afganstan and Vietnam
Where were the sanctions back then
And where it today against Israel
Hypocrisy and double-standards that is the west
Appointing themselves the ruler of the world and the source of its laws believing in the diversity that only appeals to them on their conditions only

So now russian under russia's flag will play for the World Champion title. A huge win for russia and a shame for the game of chess. Somewhat expected though with a russian still ruling FIDE. Yeah, earlier we could at least root for Magnus against future z-fascist. The choice is harder now, any person winning this will be a huge present to totalitarian propaganda...

maybe westerners feel that a Chinese or Russian champion is not so "marketable", but Ding winning would only be beneficial to the development of chess culture in China; not that it isn't important, but the anglosphere is not singularly important to the game. I doubt that so many would be lamenting American human rights abuses if for instance Nakamura was playing, not to mention the fact that things like the SLCC/US Championship are funded by a right wing billionaire oligarch. Perhaps we should demand that USAmerican players denounce the rollback of reproductive rights, militarisation of the racist police force, and the state of LGBT rights (wouldn't be opposed to that!). Ultimately it's a contest between two individual players and their teams, political situation notwithstanding.

"Prior to this, the undisputed World Champion in 1948 failed to defend his title, but Alexander Alekhine had a rather convincing reason, having died two years earlier."

That's funny.

ding is noob so is magnus

win lots of games and have fun!
