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.
I disagree. These people didn't believe the authorities in media, government, medicine, worldwide, would lie to them about the dangers of COVID or the vaccines. They were convinced they were saving themselves and others, and those who weren't going along with it were believing crazy conspiracy theories and not caring if they put others in harm's way. They were preyed on evil people, terrorized to lower their rational response, and subjected to one of the biggest psyops ever pushed on us.
While that is certainly dysfunctional, it's more naivete than evil. Many of these people could not comprehend that so many people in power would go along with it if it weren't true, and they didn't realize the extent to which the media and social media were controlled by the same people pushing the psyop.
That's very different from raping and torturing children for fun.

I used to think that, but COVID has completely opened my eyes.
About 70% of the population, the normal people, don't think anything is revolting except what authority figures tell them to think is revolting.
If they're told to hate people who don't want to put experimental genetic therapies in their bodies, then that's just what they'll do.
Now imagine one of the people gets a position they are the authority figure. What do they have as a tool to orient their behavior?
Nothing substantial
