As a matter of fact, Chess in the soviet union was not prohibited, and the game of monopoly is very similar, except that it relies on luck, and not skill, like gambling, unless of course you are making a comparison to the game of poker, where the dealers learn to rig the results from the start.
The official response would be, then, that people on the internet like to manipulate results, because they think that some golden shiny officer, or shiny algorithm, is going to bless them and their bourgeois livestock forever until the sun stops shining.
In that case, I give you the full benefit of the rising sun. Do you agree with the sun? I heard once that someone stared at it, and that was all they could think about for the rest of their life. Talk about persuasion. Should have stuck to Moon Jae-in, president of the South, so that the sun can freely rise in the East.
