Corruption vs Corruptionism
MY TURN America is plagued by two similar phenomena, corruption and Corruptionism, and it is important for voters to distinguish between the two.
Corruption refers to when an individual does not play by the established rules. The isolated councilmember who pockets a bribe to approve a building project or the financier who sets up a Ponzi Scheme to rip off the elderly are examples of corruption.
Corruptionism exists when a system violates society’s norms.

She did not name certain Jews like Soros and Jeff Bezos (Bezos says he’s not Jewish but he’s wealthy and his name is “jewie.”) It’s just Jewish space lasers (no doubt invented to perform long distance circumcisions.) Greene believes that Jews, as a group, are some dangerous cabal with secret space lasers.
