I think you underestimate the intoxication of power for its own sake - but for Soros, it's spending his billions to "make a difference". Utopians don't think they will make a hellscape. It may be ignorance, but it's willful ignorance. The desire to be king over the earth is adopted sincerely as being in the best interests of the peasants. It was always thus. Behind this pride is a spiritual evil that seeks the destruction of all that is good and holy. Jesus Christ called him the Father of Lies. He is the author of humans seeking power over the earth, and he often manifests his control over others as 'higher wisdom'.

Maybe I just don't get it, because "power" sounds awful. Spiderman was right, with great power comes great responsibility. Eek, who the hell wants that? I'd much rather focus on me and my own and make my own space greater, as well as those around me. I'm an atheist so the religious angle has no bearing on me (other than render onto Cesar what is Cesar's).

But I do think if Soros is so unbelievably myopic to not be able to see what his influence has wrought (which should be clear in any inner-city) than the guy is either truly evil or beyond stupid.
