That’s the problem though, like we’re in this spot specifically because the masses can be placated with a scapegoat. In such a massive system as a government or major corporation, 1 person did not make the decisions alone and it absolutely took way the fuck more than 1 person to enact them. Humanity has never taken things far enough to punish the most heinous of crimes, look at how well things went for so many former Nazis…their surviving rape victims were literally treated worse and received the hatred from the masses that should have been directed at the people making decisions and carrying out the orders.

This is incidentally also the reason CEOs get golden parachutes. They take the blame and a nice big check and the corporation keeps doing the same shady shit after letting everyone know the CEO at fault is gone. Though even that happens rarely nowadays.
