You see, a gram beats a damn. Huxley foresaw this in Brave New World.
We must be made to enjoy our servitude. Right now, beer, sports, TV, and what is called "entertainment", (which really means distraction from what is being impinged on you through exploitation) are a means to comfort the masses and avoid any messy revolts or public confilcts about the enforced policy of Oligarchs.
We have those who are willfully participating in their own subjugation in a way that allows them to be fully exploited by those who are capitalizing on their efforts, dreams and labor in order to amass wealth at the expense of those who have been trained by a system of education that presents them to these exploiters as nothing but manipulated fodder. Never are they really exposed to ideas or skills that would lead them to question the problem of how huge amounts of technology and amassed wealth do not translate into an across-the-board realization of tangible benefits realized by everyone. No way. The system of exploitation requires that people dream, imagine, hope for, pray, petition, expect, vote for, think positive about, etc., etc. It is all about an almost religious, (or is that how religion also works) paradigm where we get what we want while the rest of you live in our fabricated way of keeping you from realizing how we actually use the delayed gratification to keep you working hard for our wealth.
Notice how delayed gratification sound reasonable and good while you watch the people who want you to subscribe to that "value" get what they want and get rather antsy, nasty and pissed off when their noble, expected, deserved gratification is prevented, delayed, etc. In other words, if you are the servant, practice your deserved, delayed gratification, but god help you if you expect the one who tells you it is a virtue and that you should practice it, to give you a break if you delay theirs. Yes, that's how the whole system really works and slave and Serfs know how greed, capitalism and control are nothing more than a noose, a prison, and a slave holder's dream no matter how you want to portray it and slice it ... your odds are, you lose.
