His Open Society Foundation was inspired by Karl Popper's Open Society and its enemies. Popper was also a founder of the Mont Pelerin Society (basically the genesis of neoliberalism). He is mischaracterised as a left-winger, but he was an admirer or Popper and founder of Mont Pelerin! If your allegation that he helped Nazis is correct, does that mean he is a left-winger?!

Why is that? Do you feel inconsequential or lowly? I’m fortunate enough to be insulated from a decision that has already made our country and its people poorer and will continue to make our country and its people poorer. I’m lucky and acknowledge it. It’s still a stupid idea. I don’t want our country and people made any poorer, particularly not at the behest of wealthy foreigners. Did...did you just quote a MFing IEA report as a source for “news” on lobbying? Exactly. Many people, particularly on this forum dedicated to the fact that an essential requirement, housing, is too expensive, seem to have a weird subservient bent which comes out when rich people are caught manipulating the rules/tax/laws/government etc. As long as it’s the ‘right’ rich people (in this case foreign libertarian conservatives) then shrugs abound. Weird. Lazy google... The LEADER funding is a massive slush fund for crap councils pet projects. EU is still spending 30% of its budget on farming slush, neglecting projects for younger more productive people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 12 nations in the world where being gay is subject to the death penalty and 70 where being gay is illegal. Russia isn't one of them.

China probably does as much interference if not more - but as is the case with the Saudis, Malaysians, Qataris, Emiratis - we need their cash to buy our prime London housing and fund our infrastructure projects.

nothernsoul Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 When boris johnson gets his majority and hard brexit, there will be much hand wringing from the liberal establishment, The Guardian, Independent, Libdems, blair and alistair campbell, sections of the parliamentary labour party. Yet by failing to even grudgingly get behind the only thing they well know can prevent that, Corbyns labour, they will have played a major part in delivering it. Just as the Democratic party in America deep down preferred trump to Sanders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odakyu-sen Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 What is "Right Wing" anyway? Is it "to the right of Stalin"? What is the defining feature of the "Right Wing"? Is it synonymous with "authoritarian"? Does it conjure up in your mind images of men wearing Hugo Boss-designed uniforms with peaked caps and polished leather boots? Does a "Right Winger" respect the individual, or is he a collectivist who hunts in a pack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simvastatin Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/zmjjey/ukraine-fascists-hong-kong-protests What the Hell Are Ukrainian Fascists Doing in the Hong Kong Protests? “Nobody here knows who they are. Nobody invited them.” Hong Kong's pro-democracy activists were initially welcoming to the burly young Ukrainians who arrived on the front lines of their protests Sunday. Then they noticed the swastika tattoos. In photos that swiftly circulated on social media, it was clear the visitors’ political allegiances were radically incompatible with Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement. One of the men had two swastikas tattooed behind his ear, while another had the white power symbols “14 88” tattooed on his shoulders and the initials WPSH (white power, skin head or sieg heil) across his stomach. As the photos spread, so did the questions. Who exactly were these Ukrainian fascists, and what the hell were they doing wandering around the protest front lines in Hong Kong?

He openly admitted to it in a TV interview that anyone can track down online, yet you claim some newspaper article proves that what Soros actually said on TV is ********. To save you the effort of tracking it down, here it is from the transcript: Krost: My understanding is that you went out with this protector of yours, who swore that you were his adopted godson. Went out in fact and helped in the confiscation of property from the Jews. Soros: That’s right, yes. Krost: I mean, that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. Was it difficult? Soros: Not at all, not at all. Maybe as a child you don’t see the connection but it created no problem at all. Krost: No feeling of guilt? Soros: No. Edited December 15, 2019 by MarkG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothernsoul Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Soros was 14 when he went out occasionally in the van with his protector. They made inventory lists of items confiscated from Jewish people. He didnt choose to do this as a job, nor did he financially profit from it. I dont hear jewish groups, or holocaust survivors, making claims of war crimes against him. It is breitbart nut jobs and perversely anti semites who do this. As already mentioned, he isnt even really leftwing. As somebody who lived under both fascism and communism, extremist ideologies must appaul him. He gave money to help fund Hilary Clintons campaign, not Sanders. I reckon the real reason alt right types hate him, is they see billionaire funders of political groups, like the Koch brothers as their preserve.
