I think you're on to something, but like anything, it can be conditioned out of someone, or a population.

Feed someone a steady diet of "you've been cheated", "it's not fair" and "those people are the cause of your problems" and all of a sudden, you have a very self-confirmed conclusion.  He could be rich or poor or educated or a moron -- if the individual believes their problems exist because of someone/thing else, they'll attack it.

Utter lack of self-awareness and responsibility -- it can be taught, and passed thru generations.
