> George Soros > holds some culturally progressive views This made me laugh. Your attempt at implying anti-semitism is misguided (putting it generous), since Bill Ackmann, David Sacks or, gasp, Curtis Yarvin and Costin Alamariu are all prominent jewish figures of the right-center. Also I do not think you have any idea what "neoliberal" actually means.

I don't have to imply anti-semitism, he is very regularly pointed to as an example of the so-called "jewish question" many MAGA-types believe in, refer to the previous page I linked. From this very page: > Also in 2023, Tesla, Inc./SpaceX CEO and owner of social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) Elon Musk compared George Soros to Jewish Marvel Comics supervillain Magneto and accused him of wanting "to erode the very fabric of civilization" because he "hates humanity". He later alleged that the Soros organization wants "nothing less than the destruction of western civilization” in reply to a X user speculating about a “George Soros led invasion” of Europe by North African immigrants. I saw from one of your other comments that you believe Raegan's policies were left-wing, so whatever you think neoliberalism is, I think my definition is closer to the truth. Soros is still very much pro markets, pro free trade. This is not a value judgement, simply something you can read on his wikipedia page.

  We can agree that there are unfortunately a lot of not very bright "rw" types that engage in dumb anti-semitism. Not every criticism of Soros is that. There are also a lot of simple-minded lefties engaging in anti-semitism, for obvious reasons.

    You're doing a whataboutism. Neonazis are voting for Trump, that's a fact. Anti-semitism on the left is nowhere near as mainstream as it is on the right. Regarding Soros, he is the target of a unique amount of hate, much more than other billionaires, when he is far from the worst of them. And it's coming from the right, from the aforementioned reasons.
