All anyone has to do to live without trouble is to follow the path designated by the system. People enter society under the illusion that everything will be fine as long as they simply do what the system tells them to do, hence the reliance on the Psycho-Pass and the Dominators. As a result, the ability to make decisions is gradually eroded away. As Senguji puts, all that's left is to mechanize the human brain, so that even the act of thinking will be directly controlled by the system.

It's people's own choice to be so dependent on the technology and the medication. That's not oppression or suppression.
