Their minds aren't developed right either. Most people grasp that a kid who grows up in a dysfunctional / abusive home will have issues as an adult. The adult person can still make a choice to try to go with healthier and functional coping mechanisms as opposed to unhealthy destructive ones, but they will be coping one way or another because alcoholic daddies and psychotic mommies still damage brain development in their kids. Well at some point all these demented fucks scheming over the world were babies, grew up as young and then older children raised and surrounded by adults in those same circles, with unnatural lifestyles and brainwashing from before they could even count their toes. Same type of reason that old money and new money don't get along. New money is all woohoo I'm rich life is wonderful and lucky for me. Old money has been brainwashed from birth that they are part of the natural order of things, not only intrinsically superior but that their superiority is a noble burden that society needs, and they are all kinds of weird as a result. Seeing new money openly suggest that no it's just fun and lucky but has no deep meaning sends old money into an existential tailspin. Every cult is like that, people born and raised in the cult environment who are permanently compromised mentally.
