Mysticism here is the problem, of course.

That's right, it
doesn't make it correct. But correctness is a goal to be strived for, no?

I am not a conspiracy advocate. I think it is more a matter of inertia. People prefer their ignorance because it is easier than asking the hard questions. Especially of themselves!:shrug: "Leaders" tend to take advantage of this inertia, and use it to achieve their agenda. Hitler is a perfect example of this.
