I once read the following words by Aldous Huxley: ‘And they will love their slavery.’
That describes it very well... and these words of his are also very insightful: ‘The perfect dictatorship would have the appearance of a democracy, but in reality it would be a prison without walls, where the inmates do not even dream of escaping. A system of slavery in which consumption and entertainment create a love of servitude.’

I would add to that unseen system, "welfare and security."
With a large dose of irony.
