It seems there is a fairly broad sentiment that George Soros is pushing to discredit or steer the pro-democracy demonstrators into alleyways of slaughter. The idea being that by controlling the protests and organizing them into dysfunctional groups they don't get anywhere.

If that is the case - would it make more sense for those here complaining about that to go out and protest themselves?

This 'outlet' is a good forum for people to come and learn they are not alone in their burgeoning understandings of realpolitik. However after a certain point this is just an echo chamber, or perhaps a circle jerk.

Go do something about it. I am.
