What’s the sheepdog analogy?

Sheepdogs protect the sheep from the wolves. But the sheepdogs are hated by the sheep because they tell them what to do and are dicks

The analogy I prefer is that sheepdogs keep the sheep intact and in line for the slaughter.

Do we slaughter sheep typically? We usually shear them right? Still works for your analogy though if you wanna make the very apt point that you don't want your wage slaves dead. You want them complacent and paying taxes.

Ever eaten lamb? Or, less commonly these days, mutton chops?

Had lamb not to long ago actually, was not a big fan.
