Who do you think the free donuts and $10 gift cards were for?

They weren't for pilots, doctors, nurses, EMT, etc.

They were for the poor people.

But even there, poor people are typically the largest group of idiots and subsequently the most gullible. They don't require special coercion, they simply need to be told something then hear about/see 1-5 other people do it and that's good enough.

That's literally the basis of how propaganda/idealogies are spread in a civilization. You start wit the lowest common denominator, AKA the biggest group of idiots, then go from there. Why? Because social proof is the most powerful tool a propagandist has against humans.

From there, they drag along the next group with a large percentage of useful idiots, the blue collars. Then so on and so forth. As you get higher up, you require stronger and stronger propaganda, but it's ALWAYS rooted in that original social proof. "look, these 100 people did it, why won't you? Are you afraid of a needle?"
