Just because it didn't prevent rebellion 100% of the time doesn't mean it didn't work often enough, nor that it wasn't the intent from the start.

Thing is, America thinks giving us bread and circuses is "Socialism"

[–] Funkytom467@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (22 children)

Circuses isn't socialism, it's a pretty useful tool of capitalism, even though it ruins it in some cases.

Bread though, no capitalist will ever share their bread. Or anything for that matter.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

No, but the tyrants are so insane that they're writing off ciruces and bread as socialism

One problem, Rome actually put effort into feeding the populace (ie the bread part).

[–] Rodeo@lemmy.ca 9 points 9 months ago

Both the bread and the circuses used to be free.

Now people pay out the nose for all of it, and think it's a great time.

Yeah and it's cheaper to fly to Europe to see a concert than to get tickets in the US these days.

Or circus? I just see a dumpster fire.

[–] i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

A clown show is a type of circus, I guess.

The composition is bothering me. Like, it's asymmetrical and there's probably an angle down the centreline of the coliseum that would work better and...

It's Bill O'Reilly's only positive contribution to our culture. And it's from an out-take where he's at max toxicity.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It's real? Or am I being wooshed?

[–] Weirdfish@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

It's real, and you owe it to yourself to watch it.

I’m 13 and this is deep.

Our standards have changed we now want garlic bread and video games. Fail to comply and we shall become unruly.

I bet OP is way too smart and interesting to watch sportsball, and instead spends his time on more intellectual property pursuits like watching anime.

He reads ancient Roman poetry, that's where he got this quote from.

Just watched “Blue Eye Samurai,” it was really good.

Careful with that edge; you might cut yourself.

I've always wondered the context for this quote, because why would fed people revolt?
