Fortune magazine behaved like George Soros dumping more of his wealth than others into “philanthropy” was somehow some kind of an altruistic flex. No, we’re not kidding. YouTube Fortune associate editor Sydney Lake beamed in a July 22 item that “George Soros never signed the Giving Pledge. He’s given away more of his fortune than the billionaires who did.” As if the $32 billion he’s poured into his Open Society Foundations to fundamentally bend “the arc of history” in “the right direction” away from American exceptionalism and towards his New World Orderish utopia is something to celebrate. Lake snorted that “many” of the 250 wealthy signatories to liberal billionaire Melinda Gates’s Giving Pledge have reneged on their commitments. “But one philanthropist has gone above and beyond without even signing the Giving Pledge: George Soros, the 95-year-old Hungarian-American investor and political donor.”Indeed, Soros has given new meaning to going “above and beyond” and practically most of it would send chills up the spine. This includes the following: Spending $618 million towards buying a climate utopia, spending $131 million across 253 media organizations around the world to increase leftist influence over global news coverage, pouring $77,663,316 into 20 leftist nonprofits to coordinate and control soft-on-crime prosecutors he’s helped elect across the U.S., fueling 30 organizations pushing Big Tech censorship ahead of the 2022 midterms with $80 million and fueling another $80 million into pro-terrorist organizations. Take your pick, and none of them are good. But according to Lake’s spin, Soros is just the bee’s knees when it comes to philanthropy:He founded Soros Fund Management and the Open Society Foundations, a network of international charities supporting democracy, human rights, and social reform. He’s committed more than $32 billion to philanthropy since 1984, and is one of the most generous philanthropists in the world … But many billionaire philanthropists haven’t given away nearly that much money or that percentage of their wealth.Maybe because other billionaires aren’t as consumed with becoming the “only man in the United States who has his own foreign policy and can implement it,” as former Carnegie Endowment for International Peace President Morton Abramowitz once quipped about Soros. In fact, as Soros said himself according to late New York Times reporter Michael T. Kaufman’s 2002 bookSoros: The Life and Times of a Messianic Billionaire, “ Yes, I do have a foreign policy, and now I have it more consciously. My goal is to become the conscience of the world.” If that sounds like a god-complex to you, it’s because it is. But don’t take our word for it. Soros has no issue making himself look like he belongs on Mount Olympus, as this 1993 quote cited by The Independent put it: “It is a sort of disease when you consider yourself some kind of god, the creator of everything, but I feel comfortable about it now since I began to live it out.” But you wouldn’t get this vibe reading Lake’s blatant, proverbial lipstick smear on Soros as if he should be anointed the patron saint of philanthropy. Vomitous.
