    I find this “retribution” thing very quaint…

    “Retribution” for being held to the same standards as the rest of us. “Retribution” for being punished for violating the rules we’re all under. “Retribution” for being called to account for acting like awful people.

    There is nothing that has been done to them that does not stem from their own, poor behavior—a completely self-fixable concern.

      It’s projection. They do witch hunts against others, so naturally they assume any investigation of them is a witch hunt.
