I think it’s possible media’s attention to scandal has made you cynical.
Most politicians do not do shady, illegal shit. Most “elites” (do you mean billionaires?) do not torture and rape people. Most law enforcement officers are just trying to do their job.
My perspective is from the USA. I understand many other places internationally have a culture of corruption and naked power structures.
So, maybe a good question so answers can be in context is, where are you from?
I'm from India. The shittiest of the shittiest third world country to exist in my humble opinion.
Here politicians do all sorts of shady illegal stuff starting right from natural resources smuggling (like sand, gravel etc.,) to human and organ trafficking.
The elites over here are literal pedophiles and rape and torture children and women for their own crooked pleasure (Here's are some news article regarding Nithari serial murder case from top of my bookmarks for your reference. This case revolves around pedophilia, necrophilia, cannibalism and sexual trafficking. The businessman Moninder Singh Pandher involved in this case was regarded as "India's Epstein". He said in an interrogation that he knows powerful ministers and actually named a few. It is regarded he "supplied" children to powerful politicians.

And don't even get me started on the Indian police! They are the most powermonger police force you'll ever meet in your life! Those mofos will try to do any vile thing which is in reach within their powers!
Oh wow. One time a former neighbor of mine was telling me that India is so great and the culture so old and they've already worked through all the bad forms of government, and on and on about how enlightened the people of India are.
Well, that wasn't true at all
