What you're saying seems to be that noone having political beliefs has skin in the game, or how do capitalists have SITG supporting capitalist ideas per your analogy? Someone supporting x economic policy has SITG in the sense that if it works, they benefit since the economy does better, and if it doesn't they lose. Isn't that the same for any belief?
