    I suspect that it is mostly unconscious. There's no deliberate attempt to keep the proles out, which is also why they let a few people from the outside into the elite once Ia while. Instead you get hired for those kind of jobs based on "qualifications" that includes graduating from prestige institutions, having good chemistry with the posh people doing the hiring and then of course good old fashioned nepotism/networking. Even a thing like confidently acting like you are a very important person deserving a very important job, something you learn if you grow up posh, helps make you look like a good match.

      The scholarship students get in because they realize their inbreeding produces incompetent people, and to keep the system healthy they need to allow certain handpicked people of high talent in. Of course they get indoctrinated and become part of them, and there are never too many that they get out of control.

      I am sure, however from the bit behind the curtain we cna see from like people sharing more than they should okay social media there is at least a part that is self conscious about it. Parts like royalty fans that can only be in on the fact that they are running a scam and winning. But I am sure even like some chirpy finance bros are aware they only got saved from being a poor by luck and mean to keep it going.
