The more hierarchical a society is, the more people feel helpless and this leads to fatalism and apathy.

This is the predictable outcome, when you have a one-party "democracy" run by and for corporate interests where the people are apathetic and disengaged, and have long since surrendered aspirations for civil rights, democracy or self-realization for a job that forces them to expend all of their psychological energy avoiding putting a foot wrong or causing offense, and a vague promise of things not getting too much worse too fast, as long as they toe the line.
