In György Soros' book "In defense of an open society", the most prominent idea is "making the world better". There is no doubt about it, he wants to help the world to become a better place, to reduce suffering, and the improvement of humanity occupies a central place in his thinking. He is the philanthropist who has a "selfless foundation" spanning the entire world, as he explains in his book. What is the problem with him then, why do we find his name there, among the enemies of our country?
The main problem is influencing the world through foundations and money taps, in the spirit of the godless liberal benevolent philosophy of our time. Another thing that is closely related to this is the continuous interference in the internal affairs of the whole world. When the Soviet Union collapsed, he said, "I so wanted to play some role in history . The problem is that this aspiration has remained ever since, as an imposition on the world of the "values" of a civilization built without God.
He wrote his book because he feels the foundation of the Open Society is in danger, mainly due to the rise of "mafia states". In this connection, he mentions Putin and Trump (he was still in power at the time), but also includes Hungary and Poland, the two states that protect Christian values.
In relation to these two latter states, he sees the strengthening of "nationalism" as the main source of danger to the open society. He says "nationalism is the main driving force today". Russia is on the rise, the EU is afraid to give up its values. Today's generation sees an enemy in the EU. "There are governments in power in Hungary and Poland that stubbornly oppose the values that form the basis of the EU. "- writes. At this point, the main problem emerges between the philosophy represented by Soros and the EU and our country as long as it is governed by a right-wing government. Soros does not see that this nationalism is positive, for the first time in world history. It is not directed against other nations, it even seeks an alliance with them, which is best seen in the cooperation of the V4. This nationalism strives to preserve sovereignty, preserves national competences in important topics, while Soros and the EU want to impose their globalist, devalued liberal philosophy on us. Moreover, under the influence of Soros, he is planning sanctions if we do not bow to him.
Unfortunately, the EU long ago lost its values, the national and Christian idea that the founding fathers still had. Hungary and Poland defend the values of the EU most vehemently, because they fight to protect national and Christian values, even at the cost of depriving them of resources. According to Soros, these countries are now being “regulated” and this is indeed what is happening to this day. It is likely that they will close the money taps until the elections and, as they know, help the left to come to power, because they bow to the EU's measures that take away national powers and apparently serve them. Gyurcsány and Márki-Zay want to abolish the child protection law, which protects our children from the violent LGBTQ lobby and homosexual propaganda. The Basic Law, which declares the marriage of a man and a woman, is condemned to the same fate, leaving cohabitation to same-sex couples. It does not allow the adoption of same-sex couples, on which issues Péter Jakab of Jobbikos took the same position as the government. The question is whether this will lead to a coalition, in the event of a possible victory, because Márki-Zay, who calls himself a Christian, represents the liberal, i.e. EU, position on both issues. This is a watershed, because anyone who supports same-sex marriage and adoption is not a Christian, only in name. The depletion of resources is also related to this, because, as Soros says, Hungary and Poland must be regulated so that they do not live according to Christian values - according to the philosophy of the liberal, good man.
The definition of an open society in Soros's book: the rule of law, as opposed to the rule of someone, the protection of human rights and individual freedom, discrimination v. to pay attention to the victims of social exclusion. This is apparently perfectly fine, since we all want the rule of law, no discrimination and racism, human rights and freedom. Unfortunately, these beautiful goals have now come under the influence of the godless philosophy of ultra-liberal valuelessness, which lacks the good-bad, true-false categories. "The law is twisted," as the Old Testament prophet described moral corruption. The law was put at the service of the liberal dictatorship, which now protects gender, the LGBTQ lobby and same-sex people, sex-change surgeries. Today, parents in the West who say that God created male and female or oppose their child's sex change face prison terms. This resulted from the rejection of discrimination, which is otherwise accepted by all sensible people. Freedom has become freedom, and all of this is supported by the Open Society Foundation. The protection of the Roma became Gyöngyöspata and the disciplining of the Greek Catholics because they wanted to help the Roma children with their programs. Soros's foundations bring the charge of segregation before any improvement intention.
Apparently, all noble intentions can be spoiled if the basic philosophy is wrong, no matter how it advertises a "selfless foundation", no matter how it says that it "keeps the well-being of humanity in mind", no matter what the stated goal is to "make the world a better place". Today, the world can be thrown into chaos by being a good person, positive nationalism that does not attack others can be misunderstood, saving children can be misunderstood and the intention to protect values can be called homophobic.
By the way, Soros also expresses himself in the issue of migration in his book. Interestingly, in many respects he says (2019) like Viktor Orbán. The distribution of refugees should be done on a voluntary basis. He says migration is a serious problem, support should be taken to where there is a problem, and then fewer people will leave. Anyone who sets out despite this cannot be considered a refugee. In any case, a distinction must be made between political refugees and economic migrants, only the former should be helped. Those who are brought in as workers also have the right to live in Western countries because the country needs workers. Europe must protect its borders but leave them open to genuine refugees. Member States, on the other hand, cannot close the borders. Of course, we do not agree on this again.
The most important dividing line is between "pro-European" and "anti-European" forces. "The anti-European forces have principles, although they are repugnant," writes Soros. He considers the Greens to be the only consistent party in Europe. Pro-Europeans must protect EU values. "Hungary's prime minister openly disregards European standards and has created a mafia state," reads the statement. We know that this false mafia claim was invented by a Hungarian SZDSZ politician and spread around the world.
Anti-European forces really exist, except that they are the ones who have plunged Europe into a moral crisis today and have deviated from the original Christian roots.
On the contrary, Hungary and Poland are not anti-European forces, but defenders of Europe.
