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).

Those who are running the LC seem completely convinced that the "formula" provided by WL is going to always work for them. They don't seem to be able to take an objective look at the current state of the LC. The current controversy that the LC finds itself dealing with is related to people on the inside who spoke up. In fact, most of the past controversies have also been internal ones.
That by itself should be enough for people in the LC to want to stop, take a step back and figure out what is going on. Maybe some try to do just that. But LC leadership will swiftly block all such attempts. The whole culture that exists within the LC just feels normal to the people who are in it, especially the leaders.
