I’m pretty confused at the responses here. Is the quirky chess guy that known for having weird political opinions? These comments are making him out to be some outspoken white nationalist, especially with “Western Civilization” in there not helping. I appreciate more critical eyes on the madman at this helm but I don’t even know how to interpret this news.

EDIT: I read that headline catastrophically wrong. This is in fact not about the Norwegian chess guy.
