BuzzFeed News just republished this article by a Swedish economist...interesting read. I had no idea that most of the anti-Soros agit-prop could be sourced back to a Hungarian presidential campaign that is the brainchild of 2 Jews.

Not sure if anyone caught the "Brexit" movie on HBO this weekend, but I did and that along with this article made me think about how "Propaganda 2.0" and information warfare campaigns have led rising right-wing regimes across the world. When will people wake up and realize they've been played? What do you think of the Birnbaums, Finkelsteins, Manaforts, AggregateIQs and Cambridge Analyticas who profit from peddling these campaigns? The fact that they think so callously about the repercussions and unintended consequences of their work?

These are not unintended consequences of their work. This is the desired outcome.

As for unintended consequences, I was referring to anti-Soros sentiment breeding anti-Semitic sentiment in Hungary. I don't think Finkelstein and Birnbaum, being devout Jews, would have intended that. But they were so focused on winning, they didn't care. And even now, they think they aren't responsible.
Finkelstein and Birnbaum created a Frankenstein monster that found a new life on the internet. In that stew are the resentments for his assault on communism, and allegations that he’s a communist; anti-Jewish slurs and charges he’s a Nazi; and above all the old mix of European anti-Semitism.

If you search today for Soros, you will immediately find images of his head with octopus tentacles, another classic anti-Semitic motif. Even Netanyahu’s son Yair posted an anti-Semitic meme in 2017 showing Soros and reptilians controlling the world.
...
The allegation that he was responsible for anti-Semitism pains Birnbaum. He just doesn’t see it. He decided to speak primarily because he wants to refute it. He is, after all, an observant Jew and member of many pro-Israeli charities.

“When we planned the campaign,” he said, “we didn’t think a second about Soros being a Jew.” Birnbaum claimed he didn’t even know it back then, and that he never worked with anti-Semites.
...
“Anti-Semitism is something eternal, indelible,” said Birnbaum. “Our campaign did not make anyone anti-Semitic who wasn’t before. Maybe we were just drawing a new target, not more. I would do it again.”

The term you're looking for is Moral Depravity. That's what it takes to formulate & execute campaigns based on fearmongering, lies & dishonesty. Being that way just means that they can't possibly see that they are that way.
 
Looks like it's been going on a long time.

"George Soros is Donald Trump without the humility."

From here (13:04):

Character assassination! 😉
 
So once upon a time someone compared Soros to Trump therefore everything the OP is invalid.

/facepalm

Where did I disagree with the OP? The opportunity presented itself for me to share a funny video I uploaded months ago which shows where people once thought Trump had some notable level of "humility."

You've really been going off the handle a lot recently.

Well, I don't know about you, but I stopped watching 60 Minutes after the Audi hoax was exposed.
