DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: George Soros is a merchant of migrants and an exterminator of cultures

SUMMARY

George Soros transferred the last 18 billion dollars of his fortune to his own Open Society foundation, with the same goal as always: imposing the wildest version of capitalism and erasing any identitarian element. Under the alleged goal of defending minorities and refugees, this philosophy requires that there are no borders and that the differences between nations disappear. If there are no borders, people and goods can enter without control, and if people from countries where salaries are lower enter uncontrolled, that will be much more effective for capitalism without borders. This is also related to the idea of converting all citizens of the world into the same consumer, without different tastes, histories or roots. And for this, nothing better that a tycoon that has influence in many governments in Europe and the world, to create universities, think tanks, institutes of international relations, while selling to the world the idea that he is a philantropist that only wants freedom and welfare for the world. Extirpating every trace of difference between countries and cultures is the great crusade of Soros.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation and conspiracy narrative about billionaire George Soros, frequently portrayed as an evil puppet master behind current events.

In this case Soros is portrayed as a leading force behind irregular immigration. Although some projects backed by the Open Society foundation support migrants, refugees and asylum seekers, the claim that Soros wants to encourage immigration in order to erase cultural differences to promote “capitalism without borders” is disinformation not backed by evidence despite being frequently repeated by pro-Kremlin disinformation outlets, aiming to exacerbate anti-immigrant feelings and promote social divisions.
