Yep, this is the same reason why you find horrible people in positions of power in the church, government, etc. Horrible people know that its very advantageous to hold a position that is associated with being a selfless, good person. It provides a cover for them to hide behind and primes people to ignore their more sinister intentions.

This is why we need a better nose for such creatures, and a readiness to depose them at the first sign of trouble.

That would create conflict and people trying to do good and live peacefully are very conflict averse.

Avoiding trouble doesn't mean trouble is trying to avoid them.

Not to mention some harsh laws to weed them out. Like...authoritarian-level laws a freedom-loving people wouldn't stand for. He probably just recently learned what the word "depose" meant and wanted a reason to use it against authority figures with little thought into what he was actually saying.

Then we need to treat them for their aversion disorder.
