          I doubt they'd care either way, the average fascist thinks that being a jew who says trans rights is several orders of magnitude worse than wrecking a small handful of Asian economies for personal gain.

      he's a politclly active prominent Jewish rich guy and as such is a lightning rod for antisemitic conspiracy theories. He also is a billionaire and shitty guy but they hate him for being a Jew not anything he did

      He's a fucking sicko who makes money from misery. He's an actual demon in human form. I do think he does stand out from other capitalists simply because he's far more politically active and actively fucks over other country's economies.

      Dumb fucks are like "he's a Jew!!! :frothingfash: ".

      Though I'm sure some is natural I'm not against suggesting some of that may be planted anti-Semitism as well. What a better way to cover your nasty schemes then by saying that anyone who dislikes you is a Nazi.

      The only time I've seen leftists defending Soros is when right wingers accuse him of committing the Holocaust. That's a low bar for loving the guy.

      I still have no clue what the guy actually does but apparently he's every leftist's lord and saviour who pays us to attend anti-police protests.

    What are the odds that Soros is basically senile and has a bunch of ghouls working for him bc I feel like it’s pretty likely

    It might cheer him up if someone here makes an account called ElonFootSoldier

    I've never heard George Soros speak nor read a single word of his. I had never even heard of the guy before Qanon fascists kept screaming about him.

    And yet he's supposed to inform my entire worldview? I've read all of Capital and I sometimes have trouble keeping all the Marxist stuff in my head, but Soros is the one truly controlling me. Ok.

      This is overly arrogant because propaganda is everywhere.

      There are thousands of people who call themselves "socialists" or "Communists" who absolutely parrot Soros' world view without even realising it.

      You're not different. You're not immune to propaganda. :garf-troll:

        I doubt Soros has a worldview beyond "George Soros should have a lot of money." The only propaganda I know he was part of involved funding anti-soviet labor unions in Poland. If that's what you're talking about then sure, he's probably been involved in a lot of anti-USSR propaganda.

        But I doubt as individual actor he's any more influential than the rest of the billionaires and imperial states spreading the same anticommunist propaganda. There's already a ton of propaganda around me that doesn't have Soros influence, so why even point to him in particular?

        And I entirely reject the idea that George Soros somehow as an individual tricked me into being a leftist.

    I don't actually know or care who George Soros is but i'll gladly act like he's the GOAT if it'll let me piss off more right wingers

      He's an investor who fully embraced Popper's anti-communist rhetoric layed out on "Open Society and its Enemies" and ended up making a foundation named after that book to piss away his money he made through blatant financial speculation. The Open Society Foundation pays lots of lip service to social justice causes to launder Soros' image, so nazis think that its the source of "progressiveness". In reality, the OSF is just a hedge fund that captures public funding barely disguised as an NGO (and as such, it's a disaster to third world economies). It's also an anti-communist think tank fighting the fight against "authoritarianism". As mentioned below, this is so 2010 it hurts, online is a circle.

        Yeah, sounds mid. One of those cases where the name and reputation go a lot further than the actual person does, from the sound of it.
