when you learn about historical forced labor institutions and how they sometimes allowed for more freedoms and upward mobility than modern wage labor but rather than coming to the conclusion that wage labor is a particularly abhorrent and insidious form of slave labor you go "oh I guess slavery isn't that bad though"
Gonna spoiler this because it involves kink discussion.
NSFW kink
I've noticed a parallel to this in how (in my experience) it is extremely common for people who enjoy the slave role in master/slave play to be people who feel alienated from a society that is indifferent or actively hostile to them. In that sense, I can understand how a master who knows their name and gives them personal, individual attention (however perverse the form) can be infinitely preferable to an enormous machine that looks at them and sees only a faulty gear.
