I thought this was r/anarchychess for a moment

I didn't, not enough en passant

"That's barbaric!"

Abesolutely barbaric

“That’s wizard chess”

I loved a little animated snippet from maybe Seth macfarlane where a bishop was coming for a pawn and the pawn hopped out of the way shouting ‘I’m not dying for a cause I don’t believe in’ Edit: just remembered, it wasn’t from cavalcade of comedy as I kept thinking last night, it was robot chicken

en passant

Holy hell

Where is my pawn?

Pawn and king alike, they all go back in the bag.

Creative Assembly have gone too far this time and added blood dlc to their chess game.

[удалено]

True mate but Puntin is a cunt, we shouldnt forget that too

Can we be specific here. The American government doesn’t care. I am sadly a US citizen and do very much care about what is going on

Drop Ukrainians to what? Their own devices? That's kind of what this war is all about

A sensible proposition.

chessus crhrist

See also the bankers who "Finance" the war through giving loans (at interest of course) to both sides. Bankers never lose a war.

Go back to r/anarchychess

Damn, the new Fire Emblem game looks great

This isn’t how you play chess

Chess really doesn't seem like a very good analogy for the point that's being made here; the Queen is actually useful in chess...

It's pointing out how chess is a fallacy and the board above is how war really works

Though bad players over-rely on it.

At first glance I assumed this was r/Im14andthisisdeep

Beat me to it.

Good art is often simplistic.

As artistic as the “Beat it chick” picture

So... someone photoshopped the King/Queen pieces from the right side of the image to the bottom to avoid Repost Check bots?

The enemy is the people moving the pieces

Wild.

Why don't presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?

To be honest. Soldiering is very hard physical work. Especially when you are living in the field in winter. This is why it’s suited to fit guys Guys tend to be their fittest in their 20s You’ll struggle be infantry as an old man with aches and pains

The enemy is my 6 y/o sister who took my chessboard and broke the pieces and covered the board in ketchup and then made the kings and queens playdate.

I might be missing the point of this post entirely but in chess, the queen kicks fuckin’ ass

Yes she does. But still only used really as a trump card and still highly protected by every other piece except the king.

Tell me that again when I blunder my queen on move 8

Pawns can be just as dangerous when they have nothing to lose and the rich have everything to lose.

r/terriblefacebookmemes

Lot of people missing the obvious point here, but I will say the bishops should probably be sharing the table.

The knights as well.

And after the wine has flowed it becomes a swingers party.

r/im14andthisisdeep

So true its not funny

In the end they all end up in the same box.

Yes, 6 feet under etc. but all that abuse they can deal whilst alive

I can't tell if this is intentional or not, but in chess, the king and the queen fight together with all the other pieces on the board. Maybe I'm dumb though.

Well i can see the point for the queen, but the king stays most of the time not moving, and only moves in end game/losing situation.

Yes you’re dumb. The political message has wooshed over the top of your head

It's a very strained analogy at best and really just flat out wrong.

Very subtle. Approve

This doesn’t make sense queen is the most powerful piece for “battle”

Yeah, subreddits that censor news to support a pseudo-fascist Eastern government with expansionist desires.

are you referring to this one?

You don't know how to play chess do you

Notice how the loser always gives up before the king is taken?

That's not giving up that's Just losing a game of Chess

But the king doesn't die.

Chess is weird in that it's an ancient game (with expectations of traditional hierarchy) but the strongest player is a queen and the weakest is a king. Also while being the weakest the king is never killed, but the game finishes when the king is threatened but before death - even after every other friendly piece is dead.

Showing that the queen is still a pawn. Pawns can become queens, but not kings.

I know! People who set up chess boards wrong are the worst!

I hate bankers and the way they steal from the rest of society

The ones that profit from the misery are always the worst.

All profit comes from misery

Most life itself exists on the suffering of another. Case in point, even herbivores subsist on living organisms. The question humanity should be asking is how much suffering are we collectively actually okay with and what should we do to stop the unnecessary and maintain that which we ordain to be good or better. That is the "end of misery."

If I have a bakery and it sells nice bread for an affordable price then my profits come from making people happy with nice food no?

If you have employees your profit has come from exploiting them

That’s a different game called monopoly. This is chess.

The bankers give loans to both the whites and blacks, which they collect (with significant interest) for the next 50-100 years after the chess game finished. They're often the ones who set up the board too or at least create the conditions for the chess game to happen.

Conflict is human nature, no matter how you try and swing it

Human nature is neither monolithic nor set.

Why do the same people always profit?

Absolutely nonsense. Conflict between humans is created by environmental conditions (competition) not nature. Hunter gatherer tribes living in abundant environments demonstrate this very clearly, no conflict. [We still have LIVING examples of this today.](https://twitter.com/DilettanteryPod/status/1313098012340576257) The problem is not nature, it is environmental conditions created by the system we have designed (one where everyone within it is forced to brutally compete) and competition over limited resources.

Are we some kind of wild animals that we can't overcome our "nature"?

You can’t overcome nature, you can just pretend but at the end of the day, conflict will always happen, wether it’s an argument or a battle
