You've done this "Show me your sources" routine so many times that by now the script has become predictable. No matter what my source, you'll find some reason for rejecting it, and when confronted with evidence you cannot deny, you'll simply move to a new and different reason for deprecating the thesis. And I'll have wasted precious hours throwing evidence at you that you're predisposed to reject. Yesterday, your comeback was that the connection between Soros and Antifa is solely in the imagination of Alex Jones. If I showed you the 990 from AGJ or OSI, you'd simply come up with some other reason to reject my point. Maybe it would be that the relationship between Soros and AGJ is too attenuated, or that a handful of Republicans have provided funding to similar organizations, or that Antifa is not representative of the Left. I'm just not interested in going through this again. You've simply lost your credibility with me at this point.
The reason I repeat my "show me some sources" routine is that 1) you've barely provided any, 2) the few you have are weak or mixed-at-best, 3) none of them supported your new arguments about Soros' supporting too-far-leftish groups, and 4) even if he does or your other sources are correct about a few points, it doesn't deductively follow that there's a vast left-wing conspiracy.
Your "arguments" are just a bunch of anti-leftist question-begging. I'm trying to hand you a damn olive branch here and allow you to support your claims rather than looking like hotbed of right-wing conspiracy theories.
There's gotta be someone out there that writes articles that support the same arguments you would, right? Anyone? Any journalist or commentator that doesn't mind posting sources in their articles or takes a deeper dive into the issues? Give us ONE NAME and I'll do the digging for the 90% of us that aren't already wallowing in your fact-patterns & analysis? It takes a lot more than a 990 to prove a vast left-wing-only-but-still-establishment-corporatist-liberal-communist conspiracy.
If there isn't even ONE public analyst that is mostly on the same page as you on broad topics, maybe I am not the one who is "predisposed to reject" certain ideas.
