George Soros invests in Activision

Their win has nothing to do with scaremongering. The opposition realized that they most work together to win so several candidate stepped down so another member of the opposition could win. That tactic failed spectecularly as people decided to vote Fidesz instead.

It had everything to do with scaremongering.

Opposition may have effed up, however do not underestimate uneducated working class, poverty and perfectly designed propaganda.

Also, keep in mind Russian diplomats make frequent visits to Budapest and the doors remain closed.

Iā€™m not saying Russians are bad, mind you, in geopolitics good and bad are vague notions depending on which side of the border you live.

Mate, Iā€™m Hungarian, I know what happened during our last election. The opposition is made of the Ex-Communist party, the party of our corrupt ex Prime Minister and the ā€œfar rightā€ party ( and a few smaller ones that are now even worth mentioning). In 2015 the first two of those sent representatives from the parliament to the border, where they cut a hole in our fence and posed with it for the news stating that they support open borders.

They dug a hole so deep under themā€¦

You just described most political parties in Eastern Europe.

At that point they handed over the election to their counter candidates.

Kinda sad.

I personally really like Soros, but no, 45 million wonā€™t get him anything close to controlling the company. :slight_smile:

Speaking of rich peopleā€¦ xā€™D

Anyhow, from what I understand the man does A LOT of hedging, i.e. small-scale investments all over the place to secure other investments. Since it doesnā€™t matter which ones it is as long as theyā€™re stable, he tends to pick companies that he likes.

So what does he like? Well, heā€™s a progressive and heā€™s not afraid of showing it. So heā€™s going to like companies that have behaved in a progressive way. Blizzard, being in SoCalā€¦ well, itā€™s an obvious pick.

I donā€™t think heā€™s trying to assert control over Blizzard.

Well to start with, what politician is actually concerned with the well being of their countrymen?

None are to be quite frank. Its more of a ā€˜how can i line my pockets to the detriment of my countrymenā€™ with the current crop of politicians.

Trumps taken 130m+ of tax payers money to go golfing at his own course. Boris Johnson and A few other UK politicians have shorted the pound and made 10ā€™s of millions all while shifting their assets to the EU so they dont get devalued via Brexit.

Murdoch is the guy who enables these. He runs the biggest media empire in the world and has generally , over the last 4 decades, brainwashed most via sensationalist media and lies to try to plant idas such as the EU as evil, that coal lobbyists in AUS are the best and that migrants are the enemy of the USA.

You are alt-right conspiracy theorist and I claim my Ā£5.

No, Iā€™m just reacting to something that is said to me. Thatā€™s not the same thing.

The reasoning behind my first post was to hopefully be enlightened why this news deserves a thread and why I should care. What I did not want, was for someone to say: google him. :upside_down_face:

That Tahra is disappointed in and bored of 8.3 WoW and desperately wants some Shadowlands alpha/beta action. :blush: Sheā€™ll be back!

Sorry, remind me. How old are you again?
I havent seen such a cluster**** of an argument since kindergarten.
Not only is it a strawman, a bait and switch, a red herring, whataboutism, it also inherently makes zero sense.
Congratulations. Get off the net while you are drunk or underage.

You made no sense twice now. Is it a skill or talent?

Telling one to google isnā€™t an unreasonable response.
Dudeā€™s a politically charged figure, everyoneā€™s self-moderated take on him is going to go through that ā€˜filterā€™ and paint him within their own political biases. If you want an honest take, googling ā€˜what he doneā€™ is prolly going to net you the clearest picture.

Besides, you did get a brief description of his status/occupation before the google quip.

As for the article, someone invested. Not something Iā€™m personally going to get excited about.
