Bankers are the true thieves who got away with it. They own the police so they don't have to worry about force being used against them. All petty crime throughout history combined can't even match a tenth of what the bankers steal from society on an annual basis.

I struggle to understand why the right hates soros so much, guy who made billions from investment who did not have to murder anyone or destroy the environment, who has given 18 billion to charities, surely there is a better target for all this hate.

They're just doing classic projecting.

The right has actual billionaires funding every faux grassroots movement for their own economic gain and often against their own actual political views (Kochs claiming to be libertarian but funding every southern right wing authoritarian they can) so they assume the left does it as well.

The difference is that Soros doesn't fund these things for his own economic gain. He doesn't expect a return on investment the way the Kochs and other ring wingers do.

Werent you making fun of the Koch brothers eight years back?

Also George Soros has links to antifa, which would be sedition. Not the same as philanthropy

Only people who need to fear Soros are enemies of open society. In the philosophy of Soros those who use ultimate history or objective truth as a justification for their personal ideology are the most dangerous people. The people who he has targeted who do this are the Communists are the fascist and the free market Fundamentalist.

In this sense he is anti-Hegelian. His mentor was Karl Popper, a famous anti-nazi philosopher. This is why the right-wing does not like him.

Opposing tiki torch white supremacist and breaking up clan rallies is patriotic.

But that is Antifa not Soros. But I know you are slow to understand things.

Those "links" to soros were a pretty big stretch.

You shoulda been here. Everyone that was slightly further to the right of Obama was accused of giving the Koch brothers fellatio. Now that Soros supports the left, the dems love rich people

Did you catch the dumb pun?
