The "comfortable" Western world is largely populated by frightened cowards. It takes bravery (a sense of humor is also real handy) to be a real leader and agent for positive growth and change. For the most part, the brave and humorous do not typically seek positions of authority, and that vacuum is filled in most organizations by the insecure, the sociopaths, the personality-disordered, the neurotics, etc.
I have commented many times that this vile thought repression can ONLY exist in systems where those in authority have abdicated all responsibility for principled leadership. College presidents, CEOs, clergy, and even an occasional politician used to actually take pride in the parts of their jobs that required a steady moral compass, but no more. The twin evils of careerism and corruption now reign most everwhere. There are always going to be bad actors that take pleasure in causing problems for others. It is only because they are allowed to run the store that any of this exists.
