Trust is created through mutual understanding of what their objectives is, and that is survival. Trust is created when you both knows that each wishes the best for each other. Trust is not created when you make your assistance transactional. Perhaps that would be how it works if the two people is in equal footing but when one has an obvious advantage over the other (which is what they mc is) trust would be easier to build by this way.

It seems like you didn't factor in the emotional vulnerability of these people. What the mc provided is an easy way to get to their hearts and to make them dependent. Its a tactic commonly used in this world: give people too much until they are dependent on you, then take it away from them. Those who have forgotten how to live without depending on what you gave them will do everything for you. They become your slaves. This is how drug addiction/dependency works too. You give them a "freebie" once, they will come back for more. By then they wouldnt care if they pay for it now so long as they get that high. And now you got a loyal customer. Its also a common tactic used by mega corpos to exploit cheap labour in impoverished communities. Best part is that if you play it right, they wouldnt even realise that their dancing in your palms. They'll even be grateful and would work harder as if you're the oh so good saints that they think you are.

That trust would be harder to build without the image that he's the good guy here. If your life is in the hands of someone you haven't even met, you would be more on edge, and it would be harder for you to fall into this dependency sinkhole.

You'd be the first guy that everyone would avoid in an apocalypse. A society built on an ideology that makes it as if punishment is necessary for failing to do tasks will crumble on its own weight. Punishment should only apply when you do bad things, not when you fail to do something.

Just search it up and you will find a lot of them. "Human experimentation" isnt even the worse that they did, you know why? Because they allowed the public to know about it. Imagine what else they are hiding. (Im not suicidal btw)

But the power of the people is in numbers. Building trust with everyone is just as important if he wants to manage them much more effectively. Trust is very important if you want to lead a group of people, lest they end up choosing their own self-interest over yours in critical moments.

You just don't get it do you? Punishments are not necessary in this scenarios, but the reward is. There's no need for a balance when what they have in stake is their survival. Their punishment is living in that hell and trying to survive there. That's enough for people to keep moving and to take their tasks seriously.

Its all a conspiracy to make people less religious... it sounds like Im being paranoid but if you look into things that the CIA had done its not even the worse one.

(This is a joke btw and Im not suicidal)

The true answer is that it's been that way for a long time. People would do bad things in the name of religion or using religion as if its a shield, and people would blame the religion for the bad things the bad people did. Now of course, that doesnt mean that some other (((people))) doesnt use this trope for their own agendas but its just how it is.

Doesn't matter if it's funny to you or not, ffs the world doesn't revolve around you, a joke is a joke. It was funny to me, and even if it wasn't, I can immediately recognise an attempt at humour instantly. The fact that you can't do that says a lot about how dense you are.
