The open society and its enemy, Soros.
While he named his Open Society Foundations after Karl Popper’s “The Open Society and Its Enemies,” his project stands as a philosophical inversion of everything Popper defended.
Popper’s open society rested on critical rationalism, the recognition that no one possesses final truth, that institutions must remain open to criticism and piecemeal reform, and that democracy functions as a method for removing rulers without bloodshed.
He rejected historicism, the belief in iron laws of history that justify sacrificing present generations for a utopian future, and warned that such thinking inevitably produces closed, authoritarian societies.
Soros has repurposed the label to advance a grand project of engineered demographic transformation.
Through mass immigration, multiculturalism as official policy, and diversity mandates that prioritize group identity over individual merit and assimilation, his foundations actively dissolve the cultural continuity and social trust that make rational criticism and incremental change possible.
Popper understood that openness requires a stable framework, a shared language of reason, basic cohesion, and institutions citizens feel they collectively own.
Soros treats those foundations as obstacles to be overcome in the name of an abstract, borderless openness.
The concrete results are visible. Parallel societies that operate under different norms, public spaces where debate on the scale and selection of immigration is treated as illegitimate, and the rise of identity based hierarchies that close off dissent in the name of equity.
These are certainly not expansions of the open society, but new forms of closure, tribal in character, enforced through institutional capture rather than overt dictatorship, yet hostile to the very critical spirit Popper placed at the center of civilized life.
Philosophically, Soros replaces Popper’s falsification and humility before reality with a new historicism, the conviction that global multiculturalism and open borders represent inevitable moral progress, and that resistance from actual existing communities constitutes the new enemy.
The machinery funded in the name of openness does not test its own assumptions against evidence, it suppresses the questions.
Those who still value the ideal of an open society should read Popper on their own terms.
They will find that Soros has not extended the open society, but has supplied its most sophisticated contemporary enemies.
@archer_rs Climate ‘change’ isn’t real, never has been. First it was global warming, then it got cooler..
Now it’s climate change because now you don’t even have to specify what direction, all you care about is it changes and it has been changing for a long time.
You’re close with jews
@LibbyTard17 Globalist bullshit, what you are experiencing is the result of chemical spraying, yes it reflects sunlight but the energy it lets through bounces between the earth and the clouds, like a hot blanket. A climate scam pushing globalists wet dream.
Support for communism is the ultimate low-IQ filter.
• Rewards mediocrity
• Punishes excellence
• Ignores basic economics
• Delivers poverty and body bags
Every single time.
High performers build. Low performers complain and vote to loot the builders.
Which side are you on? Be honest in the replies 👀
Just 100 years ago, England was the greatest empire the world had ever seen.
A few generations later, they are a deindustrialized welfare zone unable to stop third-world men from invading on rubber boats.
Decline happens fast.
Weak leaders and suicidal empathy.
John Lennon wrote a beautiful song about socialism.
“Imagine no possessions” he told us.
He also:
– helped write his band’s anti-tax anthem, Taxman
– incorporated his IP holdings
– moved to a lower-tax country
– fiercely protected his royalties
- drove two Rolls Royce’s and had multiple luxury homes.
– made sure even the royalty cheques for Imagine were kept safe for his estate so his family would remain wealthy in perpetuity.
If he believed it, he’d have lived it. The trouble with socialism is that even the people who love the idea won’t run the experiment on themselves.
John Lennon writing Imagine while owning two Rolls Royce Phantoms and later having a law suit to protect his royalties tells you all you need to know about socialism in practice.
It doesn’t work outside of the imagination.
Okay, screw it.
Equating ethno-nationalism with Nazism is absolutely incorrect and frankly offensive.
I think England should be 90% + ethnically English. I am not a Nazi.
It's so obvious that these positions are not the same because there are ethnonationalists for Israel.
🚨🇬🇧#BREAKING: Keir Starmer resigns as Prime Minister of the UK and gets called out by Andrew Tate for corruption and destroying the UK.
"You are worse than a communist. You're a sc*mb*g."
"EVERYBODY HATES YOU. EVERYBODY."
Young communists: “Real communism has never been tried!”
Reality: It’s been tried ~50 times.
Every single time: tyranny, poverty, mass graves.
At what point is it not the “implementation” but the ideology?
