ugh, you're right. This is the problem with the spiral into fascism - people increasingly demand accountability, but that energy doesn't lead to actual in-system reform but rather just more differentish corruption, which then drives even more increased demands for accountability.
A similar dynamic is at play with Luigi. Someone finally pierced the corporate/legal abstractions of the healthcare cartel with some extrajudicial punishment on one of the more-visible cogs. We can all understand that, and it's downright cathartic...
But when Krasnov calls Bezos and tells him to discontinue publicizing how much Krasnov's new import taxes are costing everyone, Bezos knows how popularly hated his corporate ownership class is. If Krasnov ends him tomorrow most people won't be horrified, rather there will be throngs cheering it on - the rule of law no longer protects him. And so he has little choice but to lash himself to the fascist's power and comply.
I wish I knew how to reverse the trend.
