How do you instill loyalty and obedience into people?

I prefer understanding and conditioning. Demanding something without just cause only serves to lower myself.

It tends to be easier to control the situations people get into rather than the people themselves.

 Exactly this. You can instill it through fear, or make them think it's their own choice. They won't want to turn on you if it's their fault to begin with. People who try and force this on me are the ones I turn on the first chance I get, but if I choose to be loyal for them, I will likely take it to the grave and beyond. 

Create the illusion of choice and make sure they decide to choose the right one. (:

But there are situations you can't control life is unforeseeable, you need ground to stand on. Shape the ground through loyalty.

You have to give something they find valuable. With some people, that's really nothing more than a customer reward program. Air miles, or the tenth coffee free. Others you have to prove yourself with ethics or principals, providing them with something they can trust. And so on.

I thought you were supposed to be a smart gen Z, OP.

Fear mongering works I guess, but I doubt you can instill obedience, without law enforcement. Punishment is required for that, right?

 

It isn't easy, but typically this is the way the human mind works.

"What's in it for me? What's in it for me?"

So, it's rather difficult to start thinking in terms of.

"What's in it for them? What's in it for them?"

 

 

Fear mongering a God fearing society, that puts all it's faith into a church might be easier as you might not need law enforcement, and I am unsure if has to do with putting faith in a God, rather than the more Satanistic view of putting faith into the self. That's rather passe though these day, I mean that Satanism and Christianity thing was a 1950s/1960s thing, right?

I guess nowadays, or even back then, putting faith into others is very common.

What do you want? For people to have faith in you and give you a chance to show them what you are worth?

That works as a type of loyalty and obedience as well. Depending on the institution and the type of ambitions they are able to fulfill.

Like what kind of fear are you talking about?

I don't bother with instilling obedience or loyalty. 

What catches my eye, is if it's given willingly. You'll find some people will open up because of who you are and what your actions reflect. To be honest, these people are the most reliable and are the make up of my social circle entirely.
