The cultural Roots of fanatic Despotism

Despotism can be defined as the limitless punishment someone is willing to inflict on others.

To prevent the society from getting out of control, the elders responsible for governing have devised a system of reward and punishment which they teach to children at a young age, and impose on adults to encourage them doing the right things while discouraging them from doing the wrong things.

Whereas this is the normal state under which most members of society live their daily lives, it happens at times that individuals succumb to temptation, and choose to behave in a manner that defies the norm. This is what causes the governing authority to intervene, it is where the despotism of the authority reveals itself if it exists, and to what extent the authority has become despotic, if at all.

But how does it happen that a despotic system gets installed in the governing authority of a modern society in the first place? Well, there is Murphy's Law which says that if anything can go wrong, it will go wrong. And when you have something as complex as a modern society, there is always the chance that something in its system of governance will go wrong. When this happens, its internal immune system may or may not be able to rectify what was broken. If it fails, and if someone at the helm is inherently disposed to act despotically, that society will in time careen toward despotism.

If that society is a small country, the consequence –– of being governed by a despotic individual dominating subordinates who act like stooges –– will be felt internally, rarely spilling beyond the country's borders. However, if that society is a big and powerful country, the chances are that the despotic tendency will be felt beyond its borders. In addition, if the despot at the helm is driven by a messianic complex––which is likely to be the case––the consequences of meddling in the affairs of other jurisdictions can be calamitous.

Stripped of local particulars, this would be the path taken by a society on its way to a despotic rule. But societies are different from one another and so, each one follows a variation of the path that is proper to it. In fact, this is the case with the United States of America, which is a big and powerful country showing signs that something has gone wrong in its system of governance. It is currently seen to careen toward a despotism that is playing itself out both locally and internationally.

Hanging on fiercely to a system of liberal democracy which demands that governance must be exercised with the consent of the majority, America was nevertheless spirited into a dictatorship –– not of the majority or that of the proletariat as it happened in other places, but –– of international wanton destruction designed and commanded by a minority calling itself Jewish.

One of the horrific consequences resulting from the 2003 Jewish-designed American invasion of Iraq, continues to be felt today 17 years later. Because despotism inflicts limitless punishment, you see it operate in Syria with relentless determination to this day. You can feel the anguish of an independent observer who is pleading for an end to the madness that has already caused a million dead and millions of refugees who fled to the neighboring countries or walked as far away as Western Europe where they settled. The independent observer is Christopher Mott who wrote: “New sanctions on Syria risk empowering extremists,” an article that was published on June 28, 2020 in the Washington Examiner.

Here, in condensed form, is what Christopher Mott had to say with regard to what he observed:

“The US announced new sanctions on Syria. The government there is expected to stop fighting the war. No mention is made of reciprocity on the side of the rebels. These policies are sour grapes by those who lost the bid to topple Assad. The US spent eight years funding and training Assad's opposition. The effort showed that Assad's support was larger and more robust than assumed. The US efforts turned Syria into a battleground for a regional conflict. The bite of sanctions is felt on the poorest in Syrian society. The blockade will heighten extremism and radicalism. The waves of migrants and refugees will increase, spreading instability throughout neighboring countries and Europe. This harvest of NATO policy dates back to the invasion of Iraq. To increase the economic pressure on Syria is to sabotage that nation's rebuilding efforts. Assad has won the war. Attempts to undo this outcome through economic warfare will punish the Syrian people for being victims of circumstance”.

Would a normal human being that is not driven by the sense of limitless punishment do such a thing? No. No one with an ounce of humanity in them would do this. Only those that punish innocent men in their nineties for being in the wrong place at the wrong time as teenagers, would be so despotic as to relish the sight of innocent people being punished so hideously for doing nothing worse than being non-Jewish.
