i think it's more hubris than lack of education. "oh sure every wannabe tyrant in modern history met a grisly death once they took one step too far... but they weren't like me! :) i have teams of attorneys, and a golden mansion, and i'm not even a tyrant! those peasants are out of their minds, they signed the agreement to sell me their soul, it's their fault, how could they ever blame me?"
