It seems that a lot of people actually believe holding a certain position is just a performance that requires no real skill or knowledge beyond the performance itself. There seems to be a serious lack of belief in reality outside of human perceptions. And it makes sense that if your entire focus was just to always look the part & do what you are told you could likely make it pretty far. So in their eyes the sort of person who questions anything or points out anything that is uncomfortable is just playing their part wrong or being malicious or trying to attack others to get ahead.
