Its because the title of your post sounds like you presume we keep winning, and therefore are implying that it’s not true that everyone in power is xyz etc.
The second paragraph of the body of your post reveals that you don’t actually think that, which means the title is misleading.
The first paragraph is naïve, but that’s fair given the community.
Exactly! If you offer even a hint of varying from locally accepted gospel, the teeming masses immediately click the down arrow to do their bit for social justice without bothering to read further. OP might have done better with something like, “In a system that’s undeniably evil, how do occasional good things slip through the cracks?”
My original comment was just a meme, it was intended postironically as I was trying to play off the obvious ambiguities in your post. I didn’t mean it seriously one way or the other, sorry for any emotional harm done

Odd way to admit that you’re the one being disengenuous and not me.
