Excellent piece. This has been my lived experience in several institutions over these last many years. The extension I’d make is that the institutional immune response does not merely suppress correction; it isolates the corrector. That isolation is psychologically powerful because it makes the target experience the conflict as private and singular: maybe it’s just me; maybe I’m the problem; maybe I’m the only one seeing this. But that same isolation also has a social function, because it demonstrates to others what happens when someone keeps pressing on what is wrong - and, social animals that humans are, most get the message. Getting shunned by your peers out of their fear of association with an institutional contaminant, and getting caught in the blast radius, is much harder than being sidelined by management.
