  Appeared in multiple deranged conspiracy theories.

    Well, the answer I was going to give was "he's Jewish^H^H^H^H^H^Han international globalist financier", but that's the same thing really.

      There is plenty of hate for the Koch Brothers, and they are Jewish too. It's just fashionable to hate a billionaire who finances "the other side" imo. And it's hard to deny Soros is very politically active with his money, probably more so than your average billionaire, just like the Koch brothers are.

        The Koch brothers aren't Jewish... That would have been an awkward meeting when their father went to Hamburg to meet Hitler to build an oil refinery. They don't practice but were loosely affiliated with the Catholic church for a time.

          Oh wow, you are absolutely right. I don't know how I made that mistake, but I think I got confused with Sheldon Andelson as I saw him on the news due to his recent passing (the cheering by some people is probably what made me see some parallels with the George soros obsession). To be fair, it's hard to keep up with all of America's billionaires!

    That's more like being the target or victim rather than being the bad guy. I do not specially like or dislike Soros but do not think he is part of any conspiracy other than being an oligarch.

      > other than being an oligarch. How on earth is Soros an oligarch?

        Neoliberals today are trying that on as a term for anyone who they believe is too rich after seeing how it’s been used to demonize the Russian upper class (who in most cases are oligarchs). As usual the actual meaning of word doesn’t matter, they’re after the feeling the word evokes.

    Ah yes, how nefarious - openly funding candidates that favor criminal justice reform to lower the prison population. Very 'bad'.
    • gadders 5y ago
      >>Ah, yes, funding DAs that let people out on cash-free bail so they can continue committing crimes that the people who donate aren't affected by because they are living a privileged life. Fixed that for you.

        I'd love to hear a moral argument for having two people arrested for the same crime and keeping one of them in pre-trial detention because they can't afford the bond, but letting the other one out because they have access to $1k.
        • gadders 5y ago
          I don't know about moral arguments, but there is certainly a practical one for having 50% less potential criminals on the street.
