I’m making this post, because I’m contemplating reporting a guy with username like that on lichess.

    I thought he was “just” psychotic? How serious can you take the political statements of someone like him, is he accountable?

      He chooses not to take his prescribed medication to help with his symptoms, and then makes it everyone else’s problem. Should Kim K have not divorced him because they’re just his mental health problems? At a certain point, you do have to hold people accountable and they cannot use mental health as an excuse for acting like a piece of shit. And I’d argue that as a celebrity with a massive following, he has a much larger responsibility to keep his shit in check than the average person. Trump is psychotic and delusional too, does that mean no one should take his political statements seriously? No excuses for Nazis or Nazi sympathizers.
