There other reasons of course.

Like what? It's all covered in that quote.

Incentives, social psychology and conformity, sheer ignorance and an unawareness that fields of knowledge or chains of cause and effect exist. Knowledge is very conditional and contextual,

especially when a public relations narcissist is feeding them stories that purport to explain things.

" They want villains to hate and heroes to cheer "
