“This is the way to rule the people. Did you see how that chicken followed me for food, even though I had caused it such torture? People are like that chicken. If you inflict inordinate pain on them they will follow you for food the rest of their lives.”

Too many don't shake the boat, because they know where their bread is buttered.
They'll vote for/follow anyone that keeps the gravy train flowing
You can throw in cognitive dissonance as well

We must become masters of self, not masters of others!
Memes, Sigma Empath, stoic, whisky, beer God is omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent; so what does God lack ... limitation -J. Peterson
Correct !
Man cannot serve both God and Mammon
Mammon aka Mephistopheles/Ahriman
Being the prince of Tempters; the Demon of Avarice, wealth; but that's another story
Wealth, especially monetary, is the master of others through the self -indirectly- since it corrupts similar to pride
One could say a 'service to self'
Becoming masters of self through a service of others that reduces excess (that is key) pride, avarice, envy, etc
