content: I just found a nice comment explaining the mentality behind it, on this article: Deep State America. Neal says:  There is a basic consensus in this country (among educated professional white people anyway) and we enforce it collectively whether we realize it or not. Is it the same what we also call “culture”? I’ve worked in large multi-national corporations for some time now and those of us working there are almost all exactly the same. We operate the bureaucracies of these organizations the same way from one company to another because we just know that’s how it works. We implement without question whatever policy the company wants us to. Managers fire or discipline the rogues seemingly without thought to the consequences for the individual involved. It is, I suspect, that fear of the consequences that keeps most people from acting out. Who can afford to buck the system? The “system” doesn’t need a secret, conspiratorial cabal. It has us.
