You don't see that there's a distinction when the behavior in question involves abuse of a position of power?



No, I don't think it's uncommon that incompetent assholes end up in positions of power and aren't pushed out.


This isn't "a position of power" in an office sense. When a person is in a position of power in an office, those the power is over can quit. Still quite a different thing.

And beside that, it's certainly the case that incompetent assholes should be pushed out in other circumstances. It is simply far less crucial when it's not as likely to end people's lives.
