See: absolutely constitutionally legal slavery. You'll work once the pain is bad enough and you're not allowed to die. Also see: neofeudalism.
Even yallqueda has a tipping point when they realize they are on the menu. Unless you gradually lower the quality of life and human rights over many generations to normalize it, suddenly locking up the people of today would cause such a shock I'm sure chaos would ensue.
Isn't that what's going on right now? For a certain definition of "gradual". From the Boomers, through Gen X, the Millennials and the Zoomers, slowly stripping away rights, liberties and privileges until everyone's a renter living from penny to penny and absurd wealth like Elon is normalized alongside militarized police, daily school shootings, homelessness and unaffordable healthcare/college. Arrest 10-year-olds and put them in solitary, train them through the prison system to work for absolutely free (see: constitutionally legal slavery). Use "war on crime" and "war on drugs" as an excuse to do mass arrests and put people to work as actual, literal slaves in for-profit prison camps as "punishment" for the most petty and double-standard "crimes". Normalize 24/7 surveillance, so your masters know where you are and what you're doing at all times. Normalize random killings of "suspects". Normalize rigged "elections". Before you know it, suddenly locking up the people of today is not so shocking anymore.
It is, but look at the timeline. Boomers are still around. Gen X is still around. The scale at which this operation would need to execute is so massive that the elites who planted it wouldn't stand under its shade. Therein lies the problem, the socipaths in charge want everything for themselves. They don't care if their descendants rule the ashes, they want to. This insatiable need, coupled with their narcissistic brain patterns from a life of self-service, and where we are makes sense. We never left the jungle, we just plastered it in concrete.
