The right to criticise George Soros - this arrogant and destructive oligarch must be held to account.
Why has the political establishment become so devoted to Soros and the idea that he is some kind of secular saint? What has changed is this: much of the Western political establishment and its supporters in the media have become acutely aware of the erosion of their authority and legitimacy. The context for the media vilification of Roger Scruton, and of anyone who criticises Soros, is the raging culture war.
In
this conflict, the values promoted by the political and cultural establishment
are being openly challenged by what they contemptuously dismiss as the forces
of populism. Their fear of populism has led them to take a hard line towards
anyone who questions their moral or political authority. And in this climate,
Soros becomes a kind of anti-populist hero whose reputation needs to be
affirmed and celebrated, and whose critics must be damned.
