I’ve been attending a chess club in my city for over half a year now. The guy who runs it has done fundraising events before including some for Palestine-related charities which I was very happy to support.
I knew he had done fundraising for Ukraine before, and assumed it was for civilians impacted by the war, though I did not attend myself.
Now, they are running an event fundraising for an organization that explicitly provides equipment and weapons for the Ukraine military. In promoting this event, the organizer said the money is for vehicles, but on the organizations website they literally have fundraisers specifically for weapons and describe their intent to kill people, including drones.
I’m so sickened and disturbed by this. I don’t understand how people can be so happy to support this war and contribute to the killing and death, as if they have the pure moral high ground because they support Ukraine.
I’m too young to remember it, but it reminds me a bit of what I’ve read on America’s support of the Mujahideen in Afghanistan–painting them as resistance fighters, proudly showering them in equipment and weaponry.
snitch to the uni lol. if they even care about such things.
show them the org and basically what you said here and tell them it makes you feel unsafe or something
You would think chess players would know that you don’t make sacrifices for the sake of pawns.

the us only supports resistance fighters if they’re on their side. otherwise they’re “terrorists”
Especially so when they [the Mujahideen] are so adept in pedophila and illegal opium trade, lol.
If they have a mailing list, maybe you can e-mail everyone anonymously with pictures of all their nazi shit and articles from before 2014 talking about all of the nazi shit.
