I'm not sure how, with modern surveillance, anything else is possible.
People in power are always going to tend towards deviance because having power over others amplifies bad behaviors and desires to dominate in other ways etc. There is no better way to prove your power to yourself than by fucking a couple prepubescent trafficking victims while doing hard drugs at some fancy party on a private island. That's not something regular people get to do. And indulging in behaviors that aren't accessible to regular people is the whole motivation behind competing for positions of power.
And with modern surveillance, every single deviant act is captured, stored and recorded. And used for blackmail.
Normal people don't do these things because they have no DESIRE to, because they think raping chidren is revolting, not because they don't get to do it.
Normal people in power don't necessarily abuse their power. But psychopaths are more likely to rise to positions of power because they have no qualms about doing whatever it takes to get and stay there, whereas normal people aren't that ruthless because they have empathy and a conscience.
IT'S CALLED A "MORAL COMPASS"...these deviants don't have one and ANYONE in power should be checked from their asshole to their last brain cell to find out. AND OUR intelligence agencies failed us in that aspect, including the FBI!!! who does the damn background checks!!!

COVID has shown us that the vast majority of people don't have a moral anything and just do whatever to comply.
What happens when one of these compliant people reach a position where they no longer feel like they have to comply?
