it's the peasant effect. the peasants try to emulate the life style and attitude they see the aristocrats lead, but in reality, the aristocrats do whatever pleases them and don't actually care about outward appearance.
it's like cursing in the modern day. fucking rich fucking people don't give a fuck how many fucking times they fucking say fuck. but someone pretending to have higher social class might refrain from exercising such vulgarity.
it's like how elementary schools are run like prisons, which make way to secondary schools that are more relaxed, but still controlled like nazis (as in this case), to tertiary schools (college/trade) which are run on a do what you please model because you paid and it's your education, to adult life where you can pretty much do whatever you want as long as you don't impose on someone else's rights to do what they want
