Cruelty is the point. Keep people subservient, keep them worried for their own life and the lives of their loved ones.
You're less likely to complain about work requiring 20 hours of unpaid overtime if that means you can't put food on the table for your family.
But which people directly involved in any of these things went to the convention or training seminars about cruelty maximization.
Painting it like that makes it seem deliberate but that's not what the real problem is, it's a broken systems that needs to be carefully unpacked and constructed in a way that works - as much as we want to imagine heroics unfortunayely just going in and beating up badguy goons like we're batman isn't going to help
Greed and cruelty are inherent traits in some people, no seminar necessary.
Yes it is. The system isn't broken, it functions perfectly to benefit those greedy cruel people.
Problem is those people exist in every system. Bad apples and all that.
