Started it yesterday finished it today, unlike everyone else it feels like the Masquerade while awful is going to lower the child mortality rate, feed the average person better so they are not malnourished, and provide stability. It felt like the reason so much of the inquisition poo poo was going on was because they were a colony and in the capital the thought crime was a lesser issue, but in the wild colony it was a tool of control to bring them in the fold. Same reason the head of the faith was a Masquerade agent that may have kept the faith personally but still informed on it allowing it to continue instead of dying out completely.

Well at least the trains ran on time.

It's more like the only reason Baru's army was able to succeed is that she used the hygiene for waste, dead bodies, and food to lower the scurvy and limit sickness keeping her army alive. It did horrific things but so has just about every real life nation. Look at what happened to Alan Turning in the UK, or plenty of other places. People would be willing to put up with a lot of poo poo if it meant if they had a kid it no longer had a 1/3 dying during winter, your children grew up healthier, and you had free access to medical care. While reading it seemed like doctors and dentist were part of the government and paid for with taxes. People are willing to put up with a lot of poo poo for a stable and "safe" society. They are evil and for the greater good but for a lot of people that good is great because its not evil to them. They make human carriers for diseases but also inoculate the citizens and teach hygiene to prevent disease making people want to be more hygienic so they don't get sick. Super evil but I can see why people deal with it.
