What really puzzles me is why people are surprised by all of this. Study your history.None of this is new.
"Absolute power corrupts absolutely" John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton, first Baron Acton (1834–1902).
Lord Acton, expressed this opinion in a letter to Bishop Mandell Creighton in 1887:

"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men."

So nothing changes then.
