It is indeed unfortunate that too many citizens are too easily distracted with modern equivalents of 'bread and circus' to question the status quo. True democracy is a difficult responsibility that too many people fail to appreciate - until it is gone! And even then - in an effort to grasp control of the vestiges of 'a good life' they cling to the illusions The Powers That Be (TPTB) propagandise.

Thank you for your insights. I can only hope that more and more citizens take heed and act with louder and louder shouts, "Not in my name!"
