The bread and circuses work, apparently. Congrats on being purposefully ignorant to the sheer ridiculous amount of past, present, and future suffering your first world living standards require from moment to moment. All so you can keep your bread and circuses, no matter how much blood soaks through the tent.
I won’t even get started on how that’s not even true within the first world, but our first world conditions are built upon and kept alive by oppression of the third world/global south so yeah a cruel system of oppression is exactly what it is.
My first world living standards aren’t exactly a cruel system of oppression.

Me, who lives in privilege but isn’t closing their eyes and ears in deliberate ignorance: “You should try thinking about others too sometimes”
