>It's like our generation has no desire to hold people accountable.

I don't think that's it at all, it's that capital has no desire to hold people like Epstein and company accountable. That's an uncomfortable place to be in, and so it doesn't get talked about.

Capital has plenty of desire to hold it accountable, to sustain the system. Capital is not a unified group of interests; many of them favor justice.

The people do have significant power at the ballot box, and chose to give more power to corrupt leaders out of fear of the alternative.
