In the past couple of days you may have seen me using this term, and I want to explain what I mean by it. Because lately we have been witnessing the emergence of a new and previously unknown system of government in parts of the world known as The West.
You see, in most Western countries today, you are allowed to hold pretty much any set of beliefs you want: you can be an atheist or a deeply religious person and it's ok. You can be an anarcho-capitalist or a communist or Maoist, and it's ok. You can be the most gender-fluid or the most traditional family values, and it's ok. You can be an environmentalist or drive a huge truck, and it's ok. Now, if you think it's a brave act for a player to take a knee during the national anthem before a football game the right will hate you, and if you think transgender people should not be allowed to play in teams of the gender they identify with the left will hate you, but in those cases, and others like them, it will be the other side that hates you, not the system. Even if you are very close to an open and declared Nazi, the system will tolerate you. Even if you are an anti-vaxxer, a homeschooler, a conspiracy theorist, a pacifist, a doomsday prepper, or a polygamist, the system tolerates you.
There is only one set of beliefs that you are not allowed to hold - not because the other side detests them, but because the system will punish you for them. This set of beliefs is anti-Zionism. - When a system allows you to think almost anything but one thing, it states quite openly what us the one thing that is really really important for it. - But Zionocracy goes further than that. It not only pertains to freedom of thought, but to the democratic process itself. As we have seen in recent years, the system will tolerate even the dumbest, most useless and corrupt politicians to run for office and keep it. Politicians in the US, UK, France, Germany and anywhere else were caught lying and cheating, reneging on promises and colluding with corporations and interest groups against their citizenry, and making millions of unexplained monies. It's all good.
There is only one hurdle no representative in the West is allowed to hop over, and that's support for Israel. It is not a matter of political sides, it is the system itself. Because the system does it and behaves like it, it deserves a name of its own, as it is a form of government of its own; one that is definitely cynical, corrupt, and exploitative, but one that nevertheless focuses all its might around a singular point: Zionism.
I don't know how this form of government came to be. I think that it is destructive for the West, and even more destructive for Jews (or Israel). Because it is ok for a political side to be identified with an ideology: but when the system does it, it is perceived as ominous, and it creates anger, rage, and fear that would not occur if it were just politics.
When the system itself does not allow you to think something, you immediately want to think it. When it does not allow a debate to happen, it has to rely more and more on force, it is automatically hated, especially in things related to ideology, and particularly in societies where people are used to thinking of themselves as free.
The funny thing is, if I can call it that, that the more the system is exposed, the harder its tentacles clench and do more of what it's used to doing, thus creating a reality that is constantly more absurd (because we expect out seeing something to change the behavior of the person or body seen). That's where we are right now. The West feels like it lost its way completely and has no idea where it's going. Still, in its confusion and disarray, there is one thing it holds on to tighter and tighter.
If we only read about it in history books, we would find it hard to believe. Anyway, that's Zionocracy for you.
