I believe this is why high level politicians and the wealthy get out of trouble. They know the system is a sham, so there's no point in going along with it.
I might understand that it’s a sham, but I’d be miserable and powerless to push against it. So it’s a pointless belief to have.
But after that, it becomes a bit chicken and egg: Is it a sham only because you have power to make it a sham or was it a sham all along?

I disagree with this point. It was a sham all along. I think the chicken and egg problem is that people feeling like the system is a sham makes the system into a sham. Which came first? A system that's a sham or the belief?
