The problem of figuring out whether and to what extent people acquiesced to tyranny is an important one. It is complicated by accumulating evidence that the government worked with tech and media, and therefore with the main way people get their news, to actively suppress contrary voices, even when they came from recognized experts of great credibility.
The people at the top of this industry are among the super-rich.
The corporations supplying this industry with its materiel conduct advanced, highly technical research that is far beyond the understanding of the average citizen.
The operational side of this industry is emphatically top-down in its structure and function.
The "Grunts" even significantly forfeit some fundamental civil liberties for the privilege of working in the industry.
If you answered "The medical industry," you would be every bit as right.
Other mega-industries - the medical industry in particular - have generally fared better in public perception than the military-industrial complex.
Covid taught us that the medical-industrial complex and military-industrial complex are deeply connected.
