Actually, of course, it's not such a bad thing that institutions like the EU are necessarily corrupt. If you take the things the EU is supposed to stand for seriously, you're an ideological fanatic who thinks it makes sense to bureaucratize equality, administer freedom, and force tolerance down people's throats. So isn't it better if they're all in it for themselves, with the talk about human rights and European values mostly a smokescreen? Then people can pay them off and get on with their lives.
