Gonna mix up my memories and say this guy lost to that IBM mainframe because his remote vibrator malfunctioned. Makes things a little easier on me.
this is the guy who thinks history from like 300ad to 1000ad is fake because of um.... reasons
It's so cool how chess invented weirdo gamer chuds long before before CoD was a twinkle in the CIA's propaganda department's wallet, but it gets treated as something prestigious instead of just antiquated nerd shit.
Surely chess stopped being impressive when Paradox grand strategy games were developed. Kasparov couldn't revive the Roman Empire while balancing an economy.
Grand strategy slop is genuinely better than chess (because it's actually fun) and I say this entirely to drag chess down without elevating grand strategy beyond its status as nerd slop for the trough. The only thing chess has going for it is that its comparatively simple rules have been tweaked for centuries by nerds arguing about them until they were all happy/equally unhappy with them, but this also goes along with centuries of established meta and and literature that give the most insufferable nerds a huge advantage if they do the reading.
Chess is like poker without the element of chance, and sucks for all the same reasons poker does.
Chess being perfect information makes it extremely different from poker and it's kind of a weird comparison to make.
The "warmth of individualism" is to freeze while those with heated mansions tell you how inadequate your work ethic is.
Ask a capitalist what they hate about communism and they will describe capitalism.
This is Texas every year. Except the rich people don't even have the good taste to live in mansions, they all live in ugly McMansions. But at least the states' electrical grid can take pride in its rugged individualism.
It is funny how we consider being good at Chess a sign of general intelligence. "This guy is good at a board game, he must have great insights into politics"
Maybe it was in an earlier era, but at this point it's pretty well established that to be a top chess guy you basically have to forsake all other mental tasks.
"This guy is good at a board game, he must have great insights into politics"
"This guy is good at video games, he must have great insights into politics"
"This guy is a comedian, he must have great insights into politics"
"This guy is an influencer, he must have great insights into politics"
Many such cases 
Uneven development is why capitalists hate socialist countries. This is a very sincere concern. Why didn't everyone automatically get a heated dacha? As we all know, there are no limitations or competing needs when allocating resources. I'm not the idealist, you are. THAT'S WHY EVERYONE IN THE CAPITALIST WORLD HAS A HEATED DACHA.
What I really love about this is that a dacha is a 2nd home for hanging out in on vacation or days off. They're very common in Russia. A legacy of the Soviet Union. People love to get out of the city on the weekend, do some gardening, foraging for mushrooms, and grilling. A couple generations of Midwest industrial workers have them too. Auto workers have little cabins all over Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. It's extremely rare now for an American to have a fucking dacha, even without heat. The lack of universal heated dachas in the socialist world is the most out of touch complaint I've ever heard. I would gladly have an unheated dacha. My friend showed me her parent's unheated dacha in Russia, and it looks awesome.
"not everyone in the USSR had a modern heating system in their second or vacation home" just doesn't hit the same
last time i looked it up wasn't it like 75-80% or some mind blowing number that second home? god i would trade some shitty cheap western comodities for a second home in the country and like 8 weeks of vacation time
In Scandinavian countries some labor unions will up and own a bunch of little summer cottages and timeshare them as a union benefit. 5 years of service with the union? Free week in the country 
Some Soviet unions would have resorts on the Black Sea for their members.
the benefits the average worker was given blew me away when i first read about them. retirement at 55 for heavy labor jobs 60 for everyone else, more vacation time then soc dem governments. i guess some people got complacent and then came that lust for shiny new things instead of appreciating how much of your life is yours
IF WE EVOLVED TO BE SOLITARY ANIMALS THEN WHY DID EVERY POPULATION OF HUMANS EVER LIVE IN GROUPS, GARY?!
WHY DID HIGH DENSITY POPULATED SOCIETIES POP UP ALL OVER THE PLANET INDEPENDENTLY?!?!
IF THE WAY FORWARD ISNT COLLECTIVE ORGANIZATION, THEN HOW OR WHY DID WE MAKE CITIES YOU ABSOLUTE RUBE?!
In the Grundrisse, Marx has some fun writing about Robinson Crusoe as a founding myth of liberal individualism that was at odds with the entirety of human history.
Rugged individualism is the path of freedom and prosperity, America proved it.
Oh word, how's America doing lately?
"You don't kill the goose because not everyone gets the same number of eggs" yeah try telling that to the people who never get to have any of the eggs. If they get no eggs whether the goose is alive or not, why would they care if the goose dies or not.
Why is this goose giving out all of its eggs itself? This is a strange goose.
Kasparov is a CIA asset
Edit:
I don't intend to kill the goose. I intend to kill the few hundred people that are taking 98% of the eggs
We shall make no excuse for the terror
I want to hug the goose, give it better a better quality life so it is strong enough to provide eggs for as many people as it wants.
The hypocritical oligarchs made foie gras out of it rather than see regular people having eggs 
20 million people just lost health insurance. Thats rugged individualism for ya.
Kasparov praises welfare capitalism and thinks Mamdani is a communist even though he just wants to do welfare capitalism
I really wish anti-communist arguments were better. They're so bad, it's almost makes me feel a little anti-human sometimes, like "seriously? You're actually falling for this stupid shit?" Why can't they ever try a little harder beyond just pointing to a thing that happens in capitalism and insist that socialism will do that instead. And why does it have to work on so many people despite being the most obvious bullshit?
They don’t care that the arguments are bad. They only respond to tone and the smug desire to feel like they’re the Serious Adults In The Room
Genius Kasparov who promoted the new chronology conspiracy theory that says most of premodern history was invented to hide how Russians are actually the ubermensch
lol wut tell me more
Edit: I guess you're talking about this
Wiki page for it I think Kasparov has distanced himself from it but I've never seen him fully deny it, though nobody calls him on it. If you've heard of the 'Tartaria' or 'mud flood' theory I think they share the same conspiracy roots Mia Mulder video on Tartaria
On the creator of the theory:
He also claims that Jesus lived in the 12th century A.D. and was crucified on Joshua's Hill; that the Trojan War and the Crusades were the same historical event; and that Genghis Khan and the Mongols were actually Russians, that the lands west of the Thirteen Colonies that now constitute the American West and Middle West were a far eastern part of "Siberian-American Empire" prior to its disintegration in 1775, and many other claims that contradict conventional historiography. As well as disputing written chronologies, Fomenko also disputes scientific dating techniques such as dendrochronology and radiocarbon dating
that Genghis Khan and the Mongols were actually Russians
I'm pretty sure I've seen libs say this in a derogatory manner
First, if mamdani actually said that, based
Second, that last tweet is a fucking bongcloud of an argument. He could see the opponents side of the board and he still played himself. Google en pissant you has-been.
en pissant
:kelly:
bro lost a game to a machine 🤣 maybe they should just make mr roboto the grandmaster 😂😂
Rugged individualism is the path of freedom and prosperity
Cool, so I'll play you chess, but you get one individual piece of your choice, and I get a full set.
Checkmate Kaspy
It's such a brain dead take and the man clearly has the ability to reason about some topics the only conclusion I can come to is that he's running out of money and gets paid by the word for any bullshit anti-communism he publishes.
He also believes in the New Chronology conspiracy theory, which is comparable to QAnon in the way that it completely rewrites history and says that almost all modern knowledge of history is wrong and has been manipulated by various nefarious actors. IMO he's just as bonkers as Fischer but in a less socially unacceptable way.
Being good at a game doesn't make you a good person, news at 11
Avoid catastrophic inequality? Apparently his head has been up his ass so long he only sees the visible Ayn Rand tears of his intestinal tract. 
Brother that is literally happening right now under the 'greatest economic system on earth'
"we can't be welfare queens because we're white"
American rugged individualism props up European collectivist social safety nets?
American atrocities and the USD system props up European social safety nets.
I hope someone forces this guy to eat a huge pile of dogshit at gunpoint
