Public Nostrich Announcement via grok:
The meme portrays George Soros as a shadowy “puppet master” using billions to secretly control media, elections, protests, and a radical leftist agenda to undermine America.
Key claims and reality:
• Wealth ranking (“27th richest”): False. As of December 2025, Forbes ranks him ~#495 globally with ~$7.5 billion (after donating >$32 billion lifetime).
• Quote (“main obstacle… is the United States”): Real, but from 2004–2006 criticizing Bush-era foreign policy (e.g., Iraq War unilateralism), not a call to destroy America.
• Funding network: Partially true but vastly exaggerated.
◦ Soros’s Open Society Foundations (OSF) and PACs have donated hundreds of millions to progressive causes since 2016: major support for ACLU, Planned Parenthood, racial justice groups, voter mobilization (MoveOn, Color of Change), immigration reform, and reform-minded district attorneys (~$40–50M, influencing dozens of races).
◦ No direct funding/control of major media (CNN, NYT, WaPo, etc.), the Democratic Party, BLM’s main organization, or defunct groups like ACORN.
◦ Indirect ties exist through grants to allies, but most “tentacles” in the chart are fabricated or wildly overstated.
• Overall “puppet master” conspiracy: Overreach. Soros is a transparent, major progressive donor (comparable to conservative billionaires like the Kochs or Musk on the right). His spending legally advances open society goals—criminal justice reform, democracy, civil rights—but does not amount to omnipotent control, election rigging, or paying protesters. The diagram style and scapegoating echo antisemitic tropes, even if unintended.
In short: Real influence on left-leaning causes? Yes, significant. Sinister global cabal imposing a radical agenda? No—meme mixes facts with distortion for conspiracy appeal.

And the irony: they think they’re outsmarting the managerial class when they are being drained like batteries of good will and potential.

So a multisig? That’d be quite progressive for a bank.

As long as you agree with yourself on a principle, call it a value, like gifts (acts of love) are good if given without the condition of a future favor or control, I would claim there’s no point to worrying about how your gifts (or those of anyone else) are received. Receivers receive and senders send.
Control yourself, the only thing you can control. Like the Stoics.

We are shaped by our ideals and ideals are so easily directed by cultural industry managers.
What do you mean that’s not funny?

He thinks he’s playing the community for undeserved attention. It’s worked. He’s just a one-idea talking head wearing his limiting benefits on his sleeve.

Thought experiment: what if nodes are where/when the observable flux action “knots” axiomatic/math-based probability with the heretofore unknown. The edge of spacetime on the blockchain.
And maybe anonymous decentralization (of nodes but also of spender-receiver) may be figured as spooky action at a distance still enmeshed/entangled with the social contract underlying the relativistic “inherent value” of any tokenized truth-exchange.
Hum, but what is the QT parallel to the free market?

They don’t see it as a lack of courage. They see it as alliance to the right side of history.

It’s exactly the outliers that consensus checks, whether with violence or math.

The guiding question still seems to me this: who owns your ideology, whether a charismatic strongman or a secret intelligence agency? Sub-question being implied is this: can any political movement ever be pure, un-manipulated at the narrative or financial level? If not: fuck the sponsors or war and fuck their fucked incentive structures.

The state is just another kind of religion but with service instead of God and bureaucrats for saints.
