Honestly, the whole story is filled with people that could have exposed things but instead chose roundabout ways or inaction.

Arima and Eto formed this complex plot dependent on finding this chosen champion after more than a decade of helping maintain the status quo. Even Aogiri was just a sacrificial lamb, never intended to actually accomplish anything and just wiping out a bunch of ghouls.

Yoshimura spent a decade sitting quietly in his cafe, never reaching out to his daughter in spite of having the chance to do so. He made excuses, and wallowed into things until he finally just basically let the Washuus come for him.

Marude blew open this huge conspiracy, then just.....ran off to play terrorist with Hide and waited months to finally act after the CCG had long since gone off the rails.

Kaneki as the King just kind of.....sat around, either avoiding making choices or trying to avoid conflict. He drove his people into a corner, left them starving, and then repeated his past mistakes.

Juuzou and Ui are so emotionally dependent and tied up on the hope of this miracle that they are willing to blindly do what they are told. And are being used to destroy what little they DO have left, if they would just stop to think for themselves.

Hirako and the Garden Kids could have also blown open things, but have just settled on following Arima's last order to support Kaneki.

Urie and Kuroiwa realized shit was wrong, and instead just.....went through formal motions instead of actually DOING SOMETHING. And now Kuroiwa is dead.

Amon, Akira, and Takizawa all signed out of the whole thing and went off to mope. Amon and Akira have very much chosen NOT to confront their own hypocrisies and crimes, as part of the CCG.

No one is willing to actually make choices, and act. Everyone is so emotionally constipated, and just keeps repeating the mistakes they watched others make.

The Washuus and Furuta have been winning basically because those capable of challenging them have been unwilling to really fight.
