I'm asking this because in all societies there have to be a certain percentage of the population that actively support their goverment for that goverment to exist. Repression alone would not make it work. You need people to repress other people.

I'm 100% sure they believe it gives them money and power. What more do you need to believe in (at least, from their perspective)?
