cryptoecotheocracy

A form of government similar to ecofascism which is run by ecofascists for ecofascists at the exclusion of non watermelons, motivated by quasi-religious Gaia worshipping with the task of preventing an imagined future ecological catastrophe via mandatory human sacrifice, secretly controlled by a green-left oligarch, whilst consistently pretending to the public that it is a reasonable capitalist democracy and that any contrary accusation must be hysterical conspiracy theory. Signs of cryptoecotheocracy include: * corporate greenwashing driven by the desire to appear friendly to a cryptoecotheocratic government, whereas an admitted ecotheocracy would see through the greenwashing and make obvious interventions. * imposing taxes of greenhouse gas emissions based on an unscientific rationale whilst pretending further progress in climate science is either not occurring or not needed. * government propaganda which glorifies the required sacrifices whilst insisting the "science is settled", whereas an admitted ecotheocracy has no need of science and a democracy has no need of propaganda. * an officially non-Greens government which in practice cannot pass legislation without Green Left support. Since the combination of duplicity and scientific ignorance that creates a cryptoecotheocracy cannot be sustained for much more than a decade, a cryptoecotheocracy is likely to rapidly evolve into one of three different political systems: ecotheocracy, democracy, or a Green State.
