Collier & Hoeer (2004, 564): \Misperception of grievances may be
very common: all societies may have groups with exaggerated grievances. In this case, as with greed-rebellion, motive would not
explain the incident of rebellion." Collier (2007, 18): \So what are the causes of civil war? Rebel movements themselves justify their actions in
terms of a catalogue of grievances: repression, exploitation, exclusion. Politically motivated academics have piled in with their own
hobbyhorses, which usually cast rebels as heroes. I have come to distrust this discourse of grievances as self-serving."
