Yes, I agree: we tend to be hypocrites.
And, yes, if you are up before a judge in a court, the judge decides how to dispose of you; although if you have the money, you can file an appeal. Yes, "them what has the gold seem to make the rules." {That is the cynical version of the Golden Rule.} ...But who needs cynics!!
However, note the subtitle of Simone Weil's best-known book,
The Need for Roots: prelude towards a declaration of duties towards mankind . Obviously, she would not settle for your view, and I quote: that "everything is as it is." She would strive to reform the status quo; she would fight for social justice.
Before her untimely death at age 34, and ever since she graduated college, she wrote about what she spoke of as "the patriotism of compassion." As a political activist, who spoke out forcefully against Franco in the Spanish Civil War, she advocated the abolition of political parties. {Franco was the Trump of that day....}
She devoted herself to political activism, work that would see her assisting in the trade union movement; she spent more than a year working as a laborer, mostly in auto factories, so she could better understand the working class.
And notice that the theory for the Science of the Moral Sense, as seen in Katz - Basic Ethics, also recommends, as an implication of its findings, that we engage in political activism - at least in our selection of candidates for political office, and for whom we are going to vote.
