The bigger villain

 It occurs to me that I am pursuing the wrong criminal. Certainly, the Zionists are rebels against God and even the so-called RZs care little about HaShem or Torah observance. The land was what they first claimed to care about, then the state, and as we are learning now it's the state no matter what it does. It has nothing to do with morality or even saving Jewish lives. It's ours. That's it. They like it because it's theirs, like a sports team. I once made a sales call to a guy who might have misunderstood why I was calling since he barked out "You gonna take what's mine!" I guess he meant his business. The comment struck me as not that of an evolved person. 

I knew immediately that Zionism was ridiculous. As soon as I got to Israel and saw what a dump it was and how crudely the people acted, I couldn't take Zionism seriously. The only thing that affected me was people telling me that the Torah obligates me to live there, which it doesn't. But they said it did. Why should that matter?

It matters because the bigger villains are the Yeshivists who break down baalei teshuvah. They fill them with fear of the world and train them to bifurcate the world into the mythology -- we good, they bad. They take the world away from you. They mock your college education and all of your interests.

Then they mock you as they depict you as a walking yetzer hara. Chabad tells you that your soul is a portion of Elokus. The Yeshivists tell you that you are evil.

Then they prevent you from earning any money and use up all your money on their institutions. Then they shut down your sex life. 

Then you they rob you of decision making ability. You must go to the rabbi, who is 35 years old and knows nothing about you or the world. He will decide your future.

All of this is sprinkled with shouting, insults, mockery, and public embarrassment.

They push you to live in places that you can't afford and don't feel comfortable. Then rob you of a chance to find a parnassah that suits your nature.

In sum, they break you. That's when Zionist programming, which once upon a time seemed so silly, can take hold of you. Your mind isn't functioning properly anymore, and you are desperate for a breath of air, something to believe in, something that's positive. When you get to Israel you see that Zionism is a negative as anything else, but in America you were drenched in fairy tales. 

Worst of all, the yeshivists rob you of spirituality, steering you from kabbalah and Chassidis and Torah u'Maddah and Torah im Derech Eretz and old time Litvishism that cared about mitzvos and musar and even old time Gemara study as they trade in all of the Torah for pilpul and svara on the yeshivish mesectos. They fill you with terror and present mitzvos as "you gotta do what you gotta do." These readies the soil for Zionists who come along with their false presentation of aliyah as another thing that you gotta do even if it doesn't make sense. If you are already residing in Israel because the Yeshivists ordered you to study there, that makes you vulnerable too.

So yes, aliyah evangelists are reprehensible con artists who care only about themselves and their ideology for which you are a tool. But you were as unlikely to be suckered by them as you were Xianity, another fairy tale. Although some people are so broken by Yeshivism that they fall for Xianity or other forms of shallow religion.

The Zionists are like the Christians. They peddle foolishness, which is somewhat dangerous. But the Yeshivists are like the Romans who toss people to the lions, crucify others on crosses, stab rib cages with their gladiī, and burn down cities. They are far more dangerous to the BT and they give the Zionists their opening to con you into moving your family into their insane asylum.
