And chess isn't good vs evil. It's kings vs the rest of us
well, queens really, the kings are useless
Almost as useless as billionaires, don't you think?
You might point out that queens are part of the ruling class, but they are still oppressed by patriarchy hence they have to do all the work while kings just hide away.
No one is free until everyone is free.
At least kings can castle if a rook is there to help, it isn't that cool, but you can say kings know how to get the fuck out of the way of the people who do actual work when they need to, which is something you can't say of any billionaire ever.
