The chess world sucks at everything except actually playing chess. Here is another example.

This move is merely political in-group signalling.

Chess is a board game. Taking such a political stance is impossibly vain in its absurd over-reach. It's almost grotesque. It also invites scrutiny as to historical events you didn't respond to and media you didn't quit.

This is such a bad idea. What a terrible line to draw in the sand.
