One of the strongest aspects of the control system is that it controls people via their sins and vices Ala Brave New World. All of the seven deadly sins have been glorified and renamed in modernity.

Pride the foremost of these, gets a whole month. Lust (Sex sells, porn, etc), Greed (is good, is capitalism, etc), Gluttony (body positivity, foodies, plus adulteration to bypass satiation), Wrath (violence glorified, racial/class hatred), Avarice (money makes the world go round, usury), Envy (socialism, worship of Equality as a false god)

People love their sins and so become enslaved, typically first by Pride then others according to their weaknesses
