All I am saying bro is, you linked a snopes article that says he is not a nazi, then I showed you a video where he literally says he doesnt feel remorse for being a nazi and I just want to hear you say that snopes is wrong and that soros is a nazi.

I dont care about him either but I aint going to go around saying people who are nazis, arent nazis.

Right. It took me all of 2 minutes to type in "snopes.com" and then "soros nazi". That's as much effort as I'll put in, because I respect Snopes and they have a long track record of being impartial (and also I don't care about this Soros guy).

It's possible that Snopes, either intentionally or not, got that one wrong, and I admitted as much. But if you really care about convincing me that some dude I don't care about is a nazi when Snopes says he isn't, you're going to have to do more than just throw a 13 min video at me. At the very least you have to give me a timestamp of the good parts, and really you should also give me some sort of respected 3rd party source that backs up its authenticity.

Too many people on the internet are full of shit and anyone who blindly trusts any random internet site (Youtube video or otherwise) is a moron. The alternative to trusting everything is either to trust reliable 3rd parties (eg. Snopes), or investigate everything yourself, and I certainly don't have time to research every crackpot idea on the internet.

You.. Ok lora, dude, idk if you're trolling me but:

This link you provided only discredits wiether a picture is him or not, not if he is or isnt or was or wasnt a nazi.

Yet you use this to say, at best that hes 'probubly' not a nazi and at worst 'this link says hes not a nazi' which that link does not say at all.

OK so, we're at the 'worst' case scenario.. you actually think the snopes link proves hes not a nazi, while a video of him saying he was a nazi and he feels no remorse for it, isnt enough for you to change your mind from flat out wrong, to right.

You arent even reading the link you provide, you arent watching the one where it clearly in real time eradicates any argument you have, and you're blindly trusting that Snopes is right and the link I provided of video footage that shows soros saying was a nazi is wrong.

Sorry man but you're just flat out wrong on this one, you are 100% what you say is the problem in this post and I am 100% what you say the solution is, people not blindly following a website and believing.

This isn't some sudden revelation, Soros has been on the radar for a very long time as he does his thing. And that has been a LOT of things over the years.

Dude, you're posting using a questionable anti-semetic Trump avatar, yet Soros goes under the radar as being one of the main culprits of ZOG? ...if zog actually existed anyway. (((Long cat)))) has a new friend I guess. (((They're))) coming for you, poke's, run!

Of course Soros is all about himself, really.

/sigh

From that link I provided ...

....
As hoaxes go, this one was neither plausible nor hard to disprove. Given that Soros — born in 1930 — was only nine years old when World War II began and 14 when the war ended in Europe in 1945, he couldn’t have joined the SS, whose minimum age requirement was 17, even if he had wanted to. Moreover, Soros would never have met the SS requirement for pure “Aryan” heritage. Quite to the contrary, Soros grew to adolescence as a persecuted Jew in Nazi-occupied Budapest.

So nevermind that this guy is supposed to have been a nazi at age 14, despite being Jewish; Snopes was only talking about one picture, they're totally wrong!

But again, I have no dog in this game, and I don't care whether Soros was or wasn't a nazi. If Snopes said he was a nazi I'd believe he's a nazi (until proven otherwise)

That seems like a disincentive to watch it; why watch it when I can read your transcript?

... but you (blindly?) believe in a 14-year old Jewish nazi?

By your logic we should sterilize libturds since their beliefs stifle innovation that would improve and prolong lives

most should be sterilized along with most[ everyone else, though I find their transgressions no more egregious than those of conservatives of the developed world. ordinary man embraces lunacy with wild abandon be he of the left or the right. his love is the bastard of profound loathing for the mental labor demanded of reason and the effortless gratification of placating his own conscience with convenient falsehoods. verily no man is beyond the beguiling idiocy of emotional validation.

True. The world would be a much better place if some really smart person decided who was worthy of procreating and who should be sterilized. But the world is full of the progeny of morons, so I don't trust any elected official, or strongman who forced their way to power, to make those kind of decisions in an enlightened way. Just like I don't trust government to do much of anything, and that goes for Obama, Trump, Putin, Assad, Castro, Chavez, etc etc etc.
