I’m confused, doesn’t the way this is written imply that none of that is true, but rather that their newspapers are sensationalized? why is everyone going “same as it ever was”?
edit: yes I’m aware corruption existed 100 years ago just as it exists today, I was just confused about people ignoring the written words of the post
Or that the people of 1923 were not as informed as the people of 2023, so they could self delude enough to believe corruption was the exception and politicians were generally well-meaning except for a few profligates.
In 2023 we can actually do some research and see that by far the majority of them are rotten to the core and the few left have to condone it to some degree in order to negotiate with them. Much like law enforcement, in which there are violent, corrupt officers and those who are willing to lie in court to protect them. Everyone else has long since been ousted.
The non-white neighborhoods in the 1923s (including the Irish and Italian neighborhoods) would be able to tell you from experience that the corruption is through and through.

Yeah, just poor reading comprehension across the board, I guess.
