Naturally, Soros took a swipe at Trump when announcing the program.

Forbes reports:

Billionaire George Soros Pledges $1 Billion University Fund To Fight ‘Would-Be Dictators’
George Soros pledged $1 billion to fund a new university network to tackle the spread of nationalism in a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where the financier and philanthropist also condemned President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping.
The Hungarian-born U.S. billionaire announced the Open Society University Network (OSUN) as an international platform for teaching and research that existing universities all over the world would be able to join.
Soros said the OSUN is the “innovative educational network that the world really needs,” adding that his Open Society Foundation will be “contributing” $1 billion to establish the international platform for teaching and research.
Soros said the network was “the most important project of my life” and would build on the work of his Open Society Fund, which has invest billions into pro-democracy and human rights projects around the world.
The billionaire also had stinging remarks for President Trump (calling him “a con man” and “the ultimate narcissist”), Facebook and the leaders of China and India in his annual speech at Davos.

SOROOOOOS! 😡

I can tell this will end swimmingly, more defences from one side of how he is just a scapegoat due to his wealth and authority while on another it is just another tally on the list of "fuck this guy and his bullshit."

SOROOOOOS! 😡

My sentiments exactly. Soros is one of the great villains on the world stage today.

The opposite of nationalism isn’t a world of everybody singing Kumbaya and holding hands. The opposite of nationalism, which is the ability of people with a shared sense of identity and history to government themselves, is imperialism. Soros would enslave people to a non-representative group of plutocrats like himself, with no nations or cultures that might undermine their rule.

True evil.

Lol, India becoming aware of British rule of their land and being unhappy about it and wanting to kick them out is nationalism but this is bad now for some reason.

 

[Husky_Khan]

Why does Soros have a hateboner for the leaders of India? Is it related to the Kashmir issue?

 

[Cherico]

Soros is currently banned from

Pakistan, Poland, Turkey, Russia, Hungary, the Philipines and Israel has said he's not welcome there which isn't surprising considering the fact that he collaborated with the Nazi's.

So it might be the case where we end up with a 7th country officially banning him soon.

Lots of Gibs huh?

 

[Terthna]

If I had more money that sense, I'm sure I'd try to use to support whatever cause I felt was right as well; so I don't really begrudge Soros for doing just that. That said, I look forward to the day when he's no longer around to serve as a piggy-bank for the regressive left.

I’ve seen people try to say he’s just a boogeyman being used by the Alt-Right before

Thing is, I doubt you can deny he has great wealth and influence and sway over things, so you can’t say it’s illogical to suspect him of having plans

A boogeyman that certain countries hate for dumping money in schemes they don't approve of.

A boogeyman whom SJWs say doesn’t exist or isn’t causing any harm and stuff

Honestly god, that gaslighting tactic is somehow the most effective way to beat competition and arguments

Soros got his money by blatant and highly destructive currency market manipulation targeting the Southeast Asian economies in the mid/late-90s, which led to a massive economic downturn there which stalled that market out at a critical time for lifting their people out of poverty. I have driven past lines of abandoned factories in Thailand from those days, which still exist and reflect a still-current legacy of lost opportunities for those countries. He is absolutely an evil, wicked man, who promotes his leftist ideology using money he savagely plundered from developing nations using methods that are probably illegal in today's tighter international regulatory environment.

And are they in positions of government?

Nope, see em on forums and the internet comments though

Any chance you think he takes great pleasure in it all?

Wants to pretend using Leftist ideology as if he’s some defender of POC Non-LGBT Minority types & non-rich, whilst wrecking the latter or those who share being part of any of said latter

A twisted feeling of accomplishment and the exertion of power

I personally am very offended at the man as I am still in a labour dispute over my unpaid soros protesting bucks

Absolutely true. In fact, it’s ironic that Soros is exactly the kind of rich person that the leftists claim to hate. He is a rich person who has become rich by making lower, middle, and working classes poorer. The Koch brothers get their money through industry. That is to say that their businesses raise the standards of living of nearly everyone by providing goods that are in demand. Soros, along with numerous other filthy rich leftists in fact, plays a multi-billion dollar shell game where many of the marks don’t even get a choice not to play.

I see it too and that's where they'll remain unless Soros gets his eye on them to throw funding at or fuck them over from one of his ideas for the industry they work in.

You're having a lot of fun with this aren't you?

Is that Vulture Capitalism?

Honestly, I think people are more used to the idea that industries are bad because they use labor, specifically ones they wish are cheap or something

This shell game is something much less obvious or out in the open where money is actually being used to build working businesses

Soros bux is my favorite rightie meme, I ain't been paid for any of my activism and I am so disappointed in the man

I can agree. Some Soros bux would be nice.
