I cannot answer that question, except to say that when the people themselves have sunk to new lows, the people who lead them will soon follow close behind.
So what if it's true that the majority of people of a nation are systemically corrupt and unjust?
I don't mean all people or everything they do is unjust and corrupt. I do mean have we crossed a threshold, where so many of us are, that there's going to be no stoping the injustice and corruption - too many people uphold the injustice and corruption.
Is it all being done in the name of the people, with wealth and power merely following our lead?
It's no use saying "well I'm not corrupt or unjust, it has nothing to do with me, its them over there". You are not the democratic majority who in the final analysis, decides. And when the waves are lapping at your door what will you say then? The waves are lapping!
Topping that it does not even have to be a majority who decides. It just needs to be a collective group of people large enough to swing power. That might be as low as 10% of the electorate. Especially if the electorate is systemically selfish, ignorant and lazy, which is highly likely.
This is why its been so easy for medieval political gangs masquerading as religions to gain large tracts of power across all pillars of state.
Do not worry. If it only takes 10% to swing it one way, it only takes another 10% to swing it back. And in the unlikely event that weak and obedient white men decide finally to act like honourable and strong men it will be all over in days.
I do not believe it will be that easy. The people on the whole, especially weak and obedient white men are too large in number. It will run and run until the cold civil war already under way turns hot.
And then the nation will be restored. But at enormous cost.
