It's kind of like mass shootings or massive wealth inequality. If you just ignore that it happens, then it looks like a normal way of life and doesn't shock you anymore. Then you can finally relax.

I'm curious what you mean by corruption. I've seen a few examples of corruption (paying for election votes if you post a photo of your vote on Facebook, paying a school fee to pass a course even if you don't do any work in the course) but that was a poor country with lots of corruption.

well the most basic corruption is profitting from their position in such a way that it misses opportunities to govern for the people in general, and fail to make improvements. also, what they call "conflicts of interest" where they choose was benefits them personally over what would be better for the public good. this is very basic and ongoing, and awareness is necessary to even chip away a little at this kind of shit.

people even at local levels can be fucked. there are towns where they deliberately profit from arresting people and collecting fines. there can be crooked zoning. such a case drove a man to make an armoared bulldozer and smash shit around town.

Corporations and various professional organizations regulating their own industries through lobbying. Locking out new competition while reducing the regulations on already established players. Government subsidies for themselves and no one else. etc etc. This has been going on since Carnegie and Rockefeller and is still alive and well today.
