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.
Ok, but where's my bread?
$37.99 at your local Kroger
Or circus? I just see a dumpster fire.
A clown show is a type of circus, I guess.
It's been replaced by now entertainment

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...
I quote this every day
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.
It's real? Or am I being wooshed?
It's real, and you owe it to yourself to watch it.
I did watch it back when it was new, but I thought it was a skit. I am grateful for the edification.
Our standards have changed we now want garlic bread and video games. Fail to comply and we shall become unruly.
Careful with that edge; you might cut yourself.
At least I’m not dull :)
Yo, best response ever

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.

Great ideas are timeless.
Thing is, America thinks giving us bread and circuses is "Socialism"
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.
No, but the tyrants are so insane that they're writing off ciruces and bread as socialism

Are you anti clown Tokenboomer? Are you really against big bun?
It's all fun and games until the German(ic)s invade.

Tfw no bread
And we are running out of bread, though clearly the Tay Tay ruining the circuses is more important right now.
bread, circuses, and a neighbor to hate.
Quick. Copyright that.
I've always wondered the context for this quote, because why would fed people revolt?
