Most people already don’t pay attention to almost anything going on in the world.
The government bureaucracies and bureaucrats don’t need to do anything to distract people.
Bread and circus isn’t even needed by the state. The freer market has already created so much prosperity and entertainment that most people already have all the sports, music, whatever entertainment…. Readily at their finger tips, endlessly.
This idea that the government needs to have distractions makes me laugh because even without any distractions most people wouldn’t be paying attention anyways.
Part of me likes that most people don’t pay attention to statism anyways…. I want more people just living their lives and ignoring the government politicians and their goons.
