We're not playing Monopoly. We don't all start with an equal chance at taking the board and we don't get to restart the game after one person "wins".
We live in a society heavily predicated on private patronage. And yes, people who work their entire lives to achieve the rank of Chief Crony (or even Assistant Deputy Minion to the Chief Crony) and enjoy a comfortable middle class lifestyle as a result, absolutely believe that the Lord In His Castle is working in your best interests by protecting you from the Vikings at the gate and the Angry Starving Peasants rioting in the fields.
Maybe you don't believe your Lord is a divine agent serving the will of the heavens. But it's your job to build giant statues and frescos of him with a big golden glowing crown. So of course you're not going to suggest that work is meaningless (or outright predatory) in public.
Also doesn't hurt that the Town Crier has been saying "All Hail Lord Buffet! Kindest and Gentlest of Royal Souls! He is far better than the disreputable Lord Musk or Lord Koch who live in the evil castle on the other side of the river" since the day the Berkshire Hathaway Committee to Promote Public Information hired him. Are you going to disagree with the Town Crier? What? Are you allied with the Lords on the Other Side of the River? Fuck you, then.
