#garrykasparov — Public Fediverse posts

Oof, this doesn’t seem like it was that long ago.

30 years ago, February 10-17, 1996, Garry Kasparov beat the IBM supercomputer Deep Blue 4 games to 2.

Confusion isn’t always about misinformation; it's also about exhaustion.

When urgency, outrage, and contradiction never let up, discernment weakens. This is part of what unlearning asks of us — to notice how tiredness, not ignorance, shapes our sense of truth.

#Senators #MarkKelly (D-AZ) and Peter Welch (D-VT) joined Renew #Democracy Initiative founder #GarryKasparov for a conversation on combating #authoritarianism in the U.S. The two senators also criticized President Trump and others in the Republican Party for participating in authoritarian patterns, and they suggested ways the public can resist

@EugeneMcParland A #MUSTREAD; unless you insist on pressing snooze again so you could later claim "how could this happen. I had no idea..."

The lede: "Confronting the new Axis now might save a lot of lives later."

I've been arguing against empowering hostile dictatorships while ignoring developing democracies since the 1990s... 🤷‍♂️

Democracies: "Let's send all the money, technology and manufacturing to the 'People's Republic' of China to help its regime to survive and foster a global alliance of despots...!" 🥳

And guess what, our democracies *are still doing it* !! 🤯

"Today, a new Axis is coming together in plain sight."

I tried using the hashtag #AxisOfDespots here among few others... That collaborative axis came together years ago, with emperor-for-life jinping as its central sugardaddy.

Kasparov states long list of blindingly obvious historical facts which the vast majority of people seem completely oblivious to these days, but please read, learn and weep.

「It’s 1939 and we have Charles Lindbergh (note: a firebrand nazi sympathizer) in the White House.

Leaders in other free countries can’t force the current occupant of the Oval Office to change who he is. For now, they will have to defend their eloquently-espoused belief in liberty on their own. Individually, none of the modern democracies in Europe or Asia can face down China, but collectively, they would stand a chance. If they stop Putin in Ukraine, they might even convince Xi to back down from some of his more ambitious plans. A little leadership now might save a lot of people later by nipping the global conflict in the bud before China and Russia grow too strong.」
