Karma, retribution, vengeance, payback time, deliverance and freedom is/are rendered impotent in a situation where the oppressed and their oppressors are exactly the same.
If whoever is oppressed by those above him is also an oppressor of those below him, he will remain under oppression until he stop oppressing others.
Those who loot public treasury easily get away with their criminal offences in a society where everyone has taken to the path of corruption and injustice at all levels.
To curse and protest against unjust and corrupt people in position of power changes nothing having collected bribe from them in exchange for your vote at the poll that brought them to power. You don't need a priest to reveal to you that by taking a gift from contestants to vote for them during election, you have given them immunity to freely commit atrocities in power and nothing you can do to check them out.
When those at the grass root are as corrupt as those at the top, divine intervention is hindered by the very people at the grass root who suffer the most because they are also guilty of the atrocities committed by those at the top. In a situation where the victims too don't have clean hands like their oppressors, it is 'elemi lo ma last' (i.e survival of the fittest) between them.
Prayers of vengeance offered by a wicked person against the wickedness he suffers from another don't reach the roof of his own house. When the wicked begin to suffer for his wickedness in the fullness of time, he is facing the consequences of his wrong deeds which is not caused by the prayers of his non-innocent victims. Only innocent people win God's defence and fight against their oppressors. If you are also guilty of the same evil you are crying to God to avenge for you, 'you are still on a very long thing'. That is why a lot of people are still in bondage.
To gain freedom from your oppressors, do not oppress anybody.
To have/enjoy a just and fair government in your society, be just and fair.
To rid out corrupt and bad leaders at all levels, don't indulge in corrupt and evil practices.
To a very large extent, the way many people are (in mindset, conducts, attitudes and character) is exactly the way their leaders are. You cannot demand accountability and rightfulness from anyone if you are not accountable and righteous.
