The thing is, they view it as a fair trade to support that in exchange for the opportunity to be a part of that system. They might not be the galactic emperor, but they don't seem to mind being a stormtrooper. Everyone else is just peasants and rebel scum in their eyes.
To them, they're high enough on the social hierarchy to have plenty of people to look down on, and that's all they need to feel better about themselves.
True, but they shouldn't act so surprised when they find themselves thrown under the bus. They probably always will, but again, it's because they're too ignorant to recognize their own exploitation.
They figure as long as they're the ones driving the bus, they won't be the ones getting caked in the tire treads...
