The difference is stark. When a swear word is good, it's a swear word. That's exactly what swearing is. Usually it's when someone does something stupid and mate comes out - as a natural process of dealing with stupidity. So it turns out that in Russia, one and the same stupidity happens - but no, mat flies, fights with stupidity and while the country is still hanging on. But when people talk on the mat, it's a constant attempt to fight for no reason at all. It's already from the lack of own strength of a stupid person to change the situation in relation to the other - that's why he is attacking. With time it becomes a habit so there's a culture of being uncultured and fighting with your own self.

Ask a real fighter Fedka Gavnyukov, he is on the board every day on weekdays! He'll explain!
So that's why he's good news, to be better than foul language.
There are people who use foul language to cover their inability to think and their closeness to animals. Pushkin, on the other hand, wrote verse that was good mate.
good checkmate is analogous to good intentions, but the road always leads to the same place - to hell -ha.
