I want to walk you through what I think is being alluded to here:
This is the fallacy of composition: some A are B; therefore, all A are B. Some B are also C, therefore all B are C. Therefore, anything that is A, B, or C are all three.
- (((SOROS))) funds some groups that support [position I find repugnant]
- [Group I despise] supports [position I find repugnant]
- Therefore, [Group I despise] is funded by (((SOROS)))
- Therefore, they are (((THEM)))
Interesting.. I find the opposite to be the most common intellectual shortcoming in the west. The shortcoming where group trends can't be discussed even if they're huge and overwhelming. They should even be possible to be discussed even if the differences are minor, because even a couple of percentage points can result in quite meaningful differences between groups.
I think the "you have to judge people as individuals" is an intentional fillibuster. While undoubtedly the highest ideal in a court of law, it is a terrible lens if you want to detect either cultural or genetic differences between groups, of if you want to make national policy, for example.
If it isn't clear to how it relates, take this example.
Majority of muslims consider homosexuality immoral. It is no accident that maps of countries with laws against homosexuality and maps of countries with islam are very similar.
Now it's perfectly reasonable on its face to say, you can't judge every muslim to be against homosexuality.
What you should realize is that any given muslim is likely to think it immoral and also that if you have a large amount of islamic immigration, you will put gay rights under threat. Particularly since there is only one country in the world where muslims don't outbreed non-muslims (let me know if I missed one). I think the country is easily guessed considering the topic: Israel.
To summarize; you have to look at group trends to make accurate guesses. It is a modern sin to view everything through the lens of the individual. When people say muslims are anti-homosexuality, that doesn't have to be parsed as "every muslim is anti homosexuality". When someone says muslims have more children they don't mean every muslim does.
And similarly when someone criticizes jewish interest groups like aipac or the hundreds of irons soros has in the fire that can be very valid, accurate and necessary criticism.
