The Soros-Nazi thing is subject to interpretation. No, he wasn’t an SS officer or anything of that sort, but this is what he said in the interview:
(from a transcript and yes I have watched the interview)
Interview cont’d
You’re a Hungarian Jew who escaped the holocaust by posing as a Christian.
Soros cont’d
Right.
Host cont’d
And you watched lots of people get shipped off to the death camps?
Soros cont’d
Right. I was 14 years old and I would say that’s when my character was made.
…
Host cont’d
My understanding is that you went out with this “protector” of yours who swore that you were his adopted godson.
Soros cont’d
Yes.
Host cont’d
… went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property of the Jews.
Soros cont’d
That’s right. Yes.
Host cont’d
That sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. Was it difficult??
Soros cont’d
Uh. Not at all. Not at all. Maybe as a child you don’t see the connection but it created no problem at all.
Host cont’d
No feeling of guilt?
Soros cont’d
No.
Old ex-Nazis were hunted down and sentenced to jail for just doing their jobs. Helping Jews escape was not an option, and they did what they had to do to survive in that time. Same thing as Soros.
You didn’t post his entire response. And many Hungarian Jews posed as Christians to escape the holocaust.
Those nazis who committed crimes against humanity had a choice. The idea that you would equate what an adult did to kill people with what a child did to survive, is ridiculous.
You want the entire transcript? Go look it up yourself, it’s long.
The fact that he has no remorse is something to take into consideration.
Anyway, I’m not here to debate Soros, you guys already have a thread for that so let’s get back on topic. Regardless of what he did with the Nazis, I don’t like anything else he does either so that’s the end of that.
Again, you didn’t post his entire response. Why should he feel remorse? He didn’t commit a crime let alone murder anyone. I guess I don’t think I’m special enough to judge someone faced with a situation that I have never and probably will never be in. I do know that if I were a father back then I would want my son to do whatever he had to to survive.
I read the second one. It just interprets things differently.
Oh great, another strawman argument. I never said any of that.
I posted the video. The transcript is from Reddit (first one that popped up) so I can’t link it but you can find it elsewhere if you want.
So what about Nazis who just did their job? They had no choice either, and maybe they feel bad about what they did. That’s what makes Soros look bad, he feels no guilt at all and says it made his character.
The German soldiers and Nazi leadership did have a choice. No one forced Hitler to start the Final Solution. Also, German soldiers could refuse to murder Jews. Comparing the idea that a soldier committing murder is somehow the same as a Jewish child trying to survive is sick.
“If there is a conspiracy he’s one of the main suspects…”
But it should read if there is a conspiracy and you’re a right winger he’s one of the main suspects. Like you said zero evidence so we can agree Clarke’s comments are moronic?
@zecarlo and @H_factor - you guys love arguing too much. Just drop it and move on because this isn’t going to go anywhere, and is not the topic of this thread either.
Actually no need for the mountains of debunked conspiracy theories the right sends out about him. That’s why people who read right wing websites exclusively have these knee-jerk reactions so often about him.
I’m not looking at any sort of conspiracy theory about him. His own words and his admitted actions through his foundation are why I don’t like him. Of course if you are a left winger then he probably does a bunch of stuff you like, but again that is yet another reason why there is no point in debating this here because it just becomes a left vs. right argument and we already have a thread full of arguments about that.
The idea Chris, if nobody further down said so, is that if you flatten the graph such that you don’t have a large number of sufferers quickly the health system response will be able to manage the number at any given time better without being overwhelmed. Better care is theoretically better for survival outcomes.
Fucking hilarious that you post something substantive, but everybody wants to argue bullshit, because, busy winning on the interwebz man, who cares about your stupid test kits?
