How Soros can (and perhaps does) easily manipulate the anti-Soros crowd

Many people here follow a firm rule: "If Soros is funding something, then I'm against it."

This makes it extremely easy for Soros to manipulate you, because all Soros has to do to get you to do what he wants is to throw some funding in the opposite direction.

If he wants you to be opposed to OWS, all he has to do is provide some funding to OWS and you will blindly do his bidding. In general, if he wants you to be pro-X, then he can simply fund an anti-X group or movement; if he wants you to be anti-X, then he can simply fund a pro-X group or movement.

You've given him a frickin' control switch over you.

I don't know whether he's good, bad, or what degree of what, but I know that giving him a control switch over you like this is completely idiotic and contrary to your actual intent.

So since you can't know whether Soros is in fact playing you like this or not, you must always do your own thinking and resist the urge to use Soros's position as a way to determine your own.

The height of ignorance is thinking that the people who are smarter than you are dumber than you. Don't underestimate Soros by thinking he's too stupid to realize how to manipulate you.
