[Sons to Glory!]

This reminds me of how companies get in trouble, because they have a culture in place that covertly promotes certain things (like sexual harassment, bigotry, etc.). It's not just one person - it's a whole system of thinking that's been built up over a period of time. Then certain people in a position of power just start falling into that pattern, since that's the norm and they think it's all just sort of think it's just "business as usual." They almost don't know it is happening themselves (i.e., abuse), because there's a justifying atmosphere to the whole thing within the system. And it's not so easy to prove that the whole organization is like that. If the abuse by a person of power is proven, just one or two offending people often take the hit. But the system that created the abuse is still intact, so it will likely happen again and again (until there's a serious reckoning & overhaul).

The fleshly system/kingdom that's been built up will always strive to protect and perpetuate itself. And if solid evidence of abuse by a certain person comes to light, the system will do its best to distance itself in some way (or bend/hide the truth) as a protection mechanism. Organizations (which are of the flesh) follow this self-sustaining pattern.
