Oddbean new post about login | logout George Soros openly admits he’s funding BOTH Joe Biden, AND the protests on college campuses AGAINST Joe Biden’s Israel policy. Poll: Why? a) Create a need to censor speech, with the “Antisemitism bill” b) Just create chaos in general, to crackdown and control c) Push Joe Biden’s buttons to get something d) He actually cares about Palestine e) [insert your own reason]
Divide + Conquer
True, but in this case it would be conquer joe biden through funding his enemy?
Conquer the greater population who have been divided against one another on numerous levels. Divide the individual, divide the family, divide friends, divide the neighborhood, divide the town, on and on until the world is divided and unable to take greater collective action against the people fucking us all over
fair enough. create chaos
This is the issue with left/right mainstream political groups
Call me crazy lol but I happen to think George Soros is just a genuine dude. I've seen him do interviews, I've read one of his books (his magnum opus as he stated when he wrote it) and looked at some of his activities, I've never seen a lie or any dishonesty. He believes some things I disagree with, strongly even, and he puts his resources to work furthering those things which I don't like. But I don't think he's a liar or trying to hurt humanity or anything like that.
Oh I forgot, the entire reason for my reply: 1) he prefers democrats and agrees with some of their politics, probably is donor to a lot of them and so gets what he wants better from them, 2) genuinely dislikes what's going on in Canaan.
He’s pushed ICANN for domain name censorship of misinformation. Your position is that he genuinely believes in the value of censorship?
Yes. He does all kinds of stuff like that. I think he genuinely believes that his ideas, which often go against individual liberty, are good for humanity. I don't think so, but yeah, I believe he does.
E: he is just bored and wants something to do
that is actually a solid reason
He has a god complex so you can’t just rule out pure hubris and malevolence
