Gailey's Evil in Authority

From Sarah Gailey's excellent and insightful essay on Dolores Umbridge over on Tor.com:

We trust, often, that those in positions of power will use their power more for good than for evil. We trust in our systems: that those who do use power for evil will be removed, punished, pushed out by a common desire for good.

But then, we forget, don’t we? We forget that not everyone agrees on the definition of "good." We might think of "good" as "everyone equal, everyone friends" while others think of "good" as "those people gone."

The whole thing is well worth reading...
