How Vilification of George Soros Moved From the Fringes to the Mainstream
What disturbs me, is I had never heard of Soros in my life, which isn't surprising to me, but the first place I did hear of him, was in conspiracy theories trafficked HERE in this forum. As far back as early 2016, maybe earlier. Posters I have since ignored, claiming he backed Black Lives Matter, and that Deray Mckisson lived with Soros in a rented mansion. All sorts of insanity.
Not to mention the Rothschild conspiracies I first heard here, I don't have Facebook or IG, so much of the filth of the internet I see filtered through here. Now, I have heard several educated friends spouting the same nonsense, gleaned from memes shared on Facebook.
