If you are wondering how the degenerates managed to get unnoticed in Roman empire, think about Hollywood. We have beautiful movies, made by talented directors and actors, who from time to time happen to be dangerous degenerates. The first problem is that degenerates are aware to be degenerates and are able to understand how normal people think. The second problem is that normal people are incapable to understand how degenerates think, therefore unless a degenerate has been exposed, normal people will believe and trust these degenerates.
