Again, I'm not saying there shouldn't be accountability, and I am also saying there shouldn't be checks and balances in power structures. I understand that given how corrupt the world is these days, it's hard to trust anything at face value.

Maybe that's actually the reason behind people going over the top with their complaints. The power structure is not equally balanced, and only is if everyone treats it that way. In the pre-World-War 1 Germany, there was something called "Der Staat als Ehrenmann", the state as man of honor. Meaning, nobody had to even question the state because the state was inherently good and would do all in their power to serve the people. BS, of course, but that's the ideal of a democracy. Having the three pillars keep each other in check. But as you state correctly, the world is corrupt and becoming more corrupt, so who to trust? Yourself. I wrote a post about that just yesterday, if you'd like to read.

Then, as well, there's the tendency of society breaking apart, individualizing and rewarding instinctual/egoistic more than value/socially oriented behavior. If someone cares mostly about them, they will rant to everyone at once, hoping that someone will solve their problem, without considering the amount of resources that takes away from others.

Oh, and of course the kick of feeling like being better. The ego-boost of ranting about someone, making them small to feel bigger. Never underestimate that.

I'm sorry that you have to see the decline of humanity first hand. Children are the mirrors of their parents, and that must be very frustrating sometimes. Thank you for doing that job.
