Who the hell even is George Soros. I've been told for years that I idolize and revere him but I don't even know what he's famous for, or why.

Can somebody give me like the Cliff Notes summary of Soros?

He donates to just causes. Pretty simple.

@Human1000 He does no such thing. He supports far-left causes, many of them violent and very destructive of even the people they claim to support.

@SW-User Give me an example if a far left group he supports. Because it seems like he is as hostile to leftism as he is to rightism, making him a corporate centrist.

@BlueMetalChick Look at the big example I gave - the movement to release thousands upon thousands of criminals, end bail so that criminals are kept awaiting trial (and I don't mean misdemeanors), who go out to kill again, and to literally end any and all incarcerations of violent criminals.

This article is just one example. Simple searches will find many many more. He may oppose certain leftist parties that don't want to be under his thumb, but he's no centrist. Not even close.

@SW-User That's...not a left wing cause, you do know that, right? Take it from a lefty, the only criminals we want to release are nonviolent drug offenders, and people who are in jail for prostitution or solicitation.

@SW-User Like the wingnuts who finance OANN and the Epoch Times?
SW-User
@Crazywaterspring Finally you mentioned some legit news sources. Be open-minded, and the truth will eventually dawn on you.
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@SW-User You consider OANN to be legit?

Yeah, I think you showed your hand enough here lol.
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Crazywaterspring What's Epoch Times? I like their name, I admit.
SW-User
@BlueMetalChick I expressed logic based on facts and reality. Thank you for noticing.
... and I'm done listening to propaganda sources seeking to portray themselves as news.

You're not agreeing with their political slant - is no reason to diss them.
SW-User
@BlueMetalChick Epoch Times - I've only read them a few times... they are a right-leaning newspaper. A lot of opinion, but I do tend to agree, and they do limit themselves to facts when accusing their political opposites.

But of course the left hates them - as they do any opposing opinion. Hopefully - not all liberals do.
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@SW-User No you didn't express logic based on facts and reality. You just...y'know, lied. You lied about the Iraq War having a congressional declaration, you lied about collateral damage, you lied about torture, you lied about Cheney supporting SA. And you got caught.
SW-User
@BlueMetalChick I never lie. I may make mistakes but I don't lie. Typical left - makes up facts when they need to. US Congress authorized both operations, and continued to fund it for multiple years. That's a simple fact. Since I know what happened with the torture allegations, I know I told the truth. You know nothing but what you've been propagandized to believe. I actually feel embarrassed for you - cause you're otherwise a good person. But you should know better.

@BlueMetalChick Haha... no you didn't.. You're still in denial that US Congress authorized both wars. Really... you need new sources.
I do feel embarrassed... for you. Because you literally know nothing about what you speak of. Nothing. You won't admit to facts that were clear decades ago, you continue with arguments the left doesn't even use... decades ago... because they were debunked. Since what you say is factually incorrect... it's odd that you claim not to follow the corporate news, though of course you parrot their long-debunked assumptions. As for Cheney - he doesn't say that was torture - and it certainly didn't meet the definition thereof. You made a circular argument - and you're still defending it, as if it had any validity.

Typical left. When confronted with reality - claim that others are lying. You're too grown to behave like this.
