Overt slavery was hard, and got harder at scale.

The owners figured that out after Jim Crow fell. Overt slavery leads to resistance, and gets harder to maintain at scale.

Since then, they stumbled upon a solution born of modern technology.

Just propagandize your labor pool using the media you own and the education system you inform through your captured government into enslaving themselves and believing it was their idea, and just as importantly, propagandize them into hating and blaming the minority of peasants who didn't fall for that propaganda as the reason for all their owner caused misery.

"If you work really hard and do everything we tell you, you will prosper!.. At some undisclosed point in the future. Just keep working our machines, it'll happen, you'll see! You stupid fucking sucker peasants🖕🤑💰"
