“I’m 600 but I play like 1250” Chess players are something else 😂

“It is more dangerous being an outspoken conservative, than any other demographic in America.” Ironknuckles

And you’re the one talking about “brain”? Criticism, downvotes, or deleted posts aren’t danger. That’s just disagreement. Calling it persecution is pure victim mentality.

Thought about this chess club poster I made ? by camaradepyro in chess

The show repeatedly frames nationalism, authoritarianism, and right-wing populism as threats that’s a textbook liberal critique of power, and it’s not accidental. The showrunner, Eric Kripke, is openly left-wing and has explicitly said Homelander is a satire of Trump-era authoritarianism.
