I've heard it described as the "super tribe" effect. We form surrogate tribes around ideas, rather than blood. It's the same thing that holds football fans together, or nationalism.

It's hard to overcome, since it's not a rational effect. The best bet is to subvert the entire group identity. Unfortunately, that's exactly what the billionaires have already done.
