I don’t know how much we disagree here. A lot of people use accountability as a euphemism for punishment, but I literally just mean accountability. I agree that moral competence is the core issue, although I think Plato was either naïve or self-censoring about the causes of moral incompetence. His description of tyranny as coordination around transgressiveness comes close, though.
Could you please explain more exactly what you mean by accountability? It is not obvious to me. (I apologize if you have already explained it and I just missed it.)
