I don't think it is, but I think I understand your point. Of course there is no denyng there is a huge amount of cultural blurring of lines, primarily through the common language, but what I'm talking about goes far beyond just "but a few aristos have ties so why would they hate us" and more towards the systemic setup that has created much of the current mess we are in today. For example, there is a strong body of evidence supporting that Wilsonianism, which I credit as the primary turning point of US foreign policy, was very much entertwined with the upper establishment types in the UK. I could cite many similar examples (the banking system) that continue this narrative. These arent inherently bad per se, but the naive way Americans think of them makes them vulnerable to manipulation and deception. Carroll Quigley's Anglo-American Establishment is a must read for background knowledge on this topic.
