My understanding is that Soros (Sauron?) is an ideologue, which can be more dangerous than a power player with ill intent because he genuinely thinks he's working to make the world a better place for everyone.

I have to say, @dollarvigilante I think it is a bit much to assume or even suggest that Soros is filling buses with angry, violent black men by telling them that they will be able to loot. Black citizens are being slain in the streets - not too hard to get them on a bus to go protest. If anything, those "protesters" are just as manipulated as anyone else.

I think the most powerful thing we can do is, as you mention when referring to the National Guard, build social capital. Get to know people, spread good will. I don't mean give away money, even just acknowledging a homeless person makes them feel so much less like a complete pile of shyte - because everyone else is averting their eyes. United we stand, divided we fall.
