Corruption via Complexity
KISS
- Keep it simple stupid
- Baffle them with Bullshit
A technique used by evil people to create corrupt systems or enact evil rules is to complicate methods or issues so the average person struggles to realize they are passively or actively supporting evil.
Spin
Once evil people attain positions of power they have no qualms being dishonest in order to perpetuate the system they have taken control of and/or to perform acts of evil.
Spin allows evil people to have a goal that is evil but come up with a plausible good reason to justification the act.
Present systems
The representative democracy system of governance creates arbitrary time periods and multiple levels of disconnect between the population and enacted rules that govern them.
The corporate/military/religious and other non-government systems of power have next to no input by the majority, so evil easily raises to prominence.
Additional layers of complexity or lack of public oversight create pathways that are exploited by the evil to concentrate power.
