So maybe it’s a pot and kettle situation here.
At least for the first two points, Soros does the same thing:
1) George Soros also tries to manipulate how the public thinks and feels with his media campaigns
2) he manipulates people’s attention to focus on his political interests
Not saying either are particularly in the right for doing these things but it’s a little funny that this is so alarming for him, a major political donor and influencer
- bhouston 9y agoI guess I am not currently litigating whether Soros is evil or not. I think his points are real and others also endorse them. I guess this is sort of a weird article, just saying what others have said but this time repeating it because the source, Soros, is unique and for some has more authority because is very wealthy. Basically nothing is new in the criticisms.

- thithi 9y agoHis points are real, but so they apply for him. The evil part is he first start public misinformation campaigns in mainstream media. Now that social media does the same thing effectively in a decentralized manner which he can't control, he is crying wolf.

You can (could?) kind of get away with influencing people anonymously using Facebook: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/01/us/politics/russia-2016-election-facebook.html https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/01/us/politics/russia-2016-e...
