Even if an influential rich man would instigate an act to override masses with his position and power, another masses will be a tool to use in executing that so I kind of reckoned with what he said.

I've said this different times, that the problem we have is majorly ourselves. The bad leaders we complain of use some elements from the masses to do their bid. You can't do these things without human resources, and so the masses aiding them could just be the major problem.

To the topic in particular, the abuse of power doesn't have to be with high and esteemed positions, but even those small ones. There, you see a lot of that. For some, that's how it started, and so the need to address this issue as you've mentioned. It's a sad reality.
