Roachboy, isn't just an issue of characterization? Cultural milieus can explain a lot. But at some point, following your logic, what you end up with is a variant of "false consciousness" as an explanation for a lot of people's views, and I tend to resist that because it denies agency to individuals while simultaneously recognizing some select priesthood that through some alchemy is able to see through what the rabble can't. It's not Marxian exactly but has a lot of the same overtones.
