I've wondered this too. It's like they really want him to fit as a Koch equivalent or something.
He's Jewish and gave a lot of money to refugee relief groups. He may or may not have given some money to Black Lives Matter, which racists consider an anti-white terror group.
For the far-right, he's the poster boy of a Jewish conspirator trying to destroy western civilization and the white race.

Exactly you can not search this man's name without bringing up some 80s Cobra Commander style villainy

It's because (((George Soros))) is a (((globalist))) and a possible founding member of the (((illuminati))).
It's because he's a Jewish billionaire

I thought that was gonna be an answer.
So he's just a nice rich dude. These people tend to like mean possibly rich dudes. Holds up.

Well..he says he wants multicultural societies, treats national borders as obstacles and supports mass migration. And while having all those views he's also willing to pump money into supporting what he thinks is right.
So if a heavily nationalist group looks for enemy Soros is the perfect pick.

Honestly, fuck anyone who uses their millions or billions to buy an oversized role in any democracy. He's a popular boogeyman - but I'm not going to be sympathetic to his plight.

Why don't you like him, though?
I don't care about him one way or the other. What makes you dislike him?
I believe the thread was about why racists in particular disliked Soros. This does not imply that ONLY racists dislike Soros, or whites for that matter.
Remember having this discussion a while ago.
On the day to day with general right leaning talk shows, the man is basically the Koch brothers of the left. They'll rally against him for obvious reasons of him funding initiatives that they obviously oppose. Fair enough.
Online the more extreme right picks up on these criticisms but takes it like 20 steps further thinking he's some Jewish illuminati overlord hell bent on a number of conspiracy theories. Nutjobs.

Well he is a Jew, pardon me, a person of the Jewish faith and owns a hedge fund. That's more than enough to feed into the whole "jews control the worldwide financial system and thus the world" conspiracy for right wingers.
real talk globalist is one of the most hilarious dog whistles. It is like the new Social Justice Warrior.
"He is a goddman globalist"
"What he collects maps or something?"
"No he wants nations of the world to be more connected"
"And the problem is?"

You could write a lot of words about the excuses the right wing use, but basically, he's Jewish and that's enough for them.

AFAIK he's actually non-observant.

Easy to pronounce name and yell "SOROSSSSSSS!" and he sounds foreign.

Funny since in France, Soros is seen as part of the right wing propaganda machine by the left.
The irony is that globalism is what helps American far-right dipshits find far-right dipshits in Britain, Germany, Sweden, etc and come up with dipshit conspiracy theories together. If anything it's their biggest tool.
But then again, these guys aren't really known for their thinking skills.
He provided funding to MoveOn.org in 2004.

Russia today has been painting him into this evil person for a long time now, every 3-4 months they come up with new accusations against him so he must be doing something right to get RT to attack him on schedule.

He's:
- Jewish
- "Elite"
- "Globalist"
- Doesn't like Putin
etc...
More than enough to throw any any alt-right dude into a fit of rage.

There's some rasist extension for browsers which adds () on "suspected" names etc.

Yeah, funding various NGOs that have incited violent revolutions against democratically elected governments. The man is a menace to democracy, regardless of what he claims to be actually doing.
It doesn't matter that much that he's jewish, it's enough that he's a rich liberal guy involved in influencing politics. No one likes that... unless it's their guy.
Hence Reid will go on about the Koch brothers while never mentioning Soros, and the conservatives treat Soros as a boogeyman while the Kochs are just exercising their right to political speech.

Right. I think George Soros is using his power for good, but he's still a ruthless plutocrat who should not be able to dominate politics.
He was a major supporter of the oligarchical Davos Pact who most likely rigged the 1996 Russian election to keep Boris Yeltsin in power and leftists out of office. This election directly enabled the rise of Putin and furthered the privatization that devastated post-Soviet Russia.

Trump supporters/internet nazis use three parenthesis around the names of Jewish journalist/activists/normal everyday people as a way to easily identify them. I think there was a chrome extension that linked to a database of prominent Jews that automatically added it.

Anyone who equivalates George Soros and the Koch brothers has no idea what they're talking about
It's an online anti-semetic thing. Basically, the "echo" symbol ((( ))) is supposed to indicate to other in the know anti-semetic people that the person inside the echo is a Jew.

I think it started back when Glenn Beck was on TV. He basically copied all of Alex Jones' conspiracy theories and replaced "The Illuminati" with "George Soros".

It didn't start with Beck, he just hangs out with the same kinds of people who perpetuate these (((globalist))) conspiracy theories. The fact that he says he's "too principled" to vote for Trump is a joke.

There are sources that say he did and some say he didnt fund BLM. I believe he funded them .
There are protesters in Ferguson , Darren Seals for example (RIP) , black men and women who distrust and are against that organization because they feel it is corrupted by outside influences aka George Soros and also feel they are very anti black male.
Keep in mind these are black men and women who are pro black and who where in Ferguson long before BLM caught on who they feel hijacked their movement
You mean to tell me it's not a joke from an old Simpsons (or was it South Park?) episode or something?
new?
e: quick google search after some wikipedia links :
