Public indoctrination and social media coupled with pointless work just to survive does most of it, for everyone else there is the nearly endless layers of control even for their own as those up high who've wanted to keep humanity as slaves have been doing so for eons. These same dark entities/souls are like locusts moving from one world to another from one universe to another until they are pushed out or the energy gets to where it is too low to sustain them. One of their favorites is through conforming populations to exist with in AI controlled hive minds that dull out the personality, the emotions, and any sense of connection to nature for which they've been softening this world up coupled with using fear to make it all the easier. As for the people down here making it possible in the physical they are slaves themselves though some are probably more aware than most. The good news is that this won't be going on for too much longer despite what we'll be going through as the decade plays out.
