About me:
"Bread and Circuses" is metonymic for a superficial means of appeasement. In the case
of politics, the phrase is used to describe the creation of public approval, not through
exemplary or excellent public service or public policy, but through diversion; distraction;
or the mere satisfaction of the immediate, shallow requirements of a populace.
The phrase also implies the erosion or ignorance of civic duty amongst the concerns of
the commoner.
In modern usage, the phrase is taken to describe a populace that no longer values civic
virtues and the public life. To many, it connotes a supposed triviality and frivolity that
characterized the Roman Republic prior to its decline into the autocratic monarchy
characteristic of the later Roman Empire's transformation about 44 B.C
“It’s amazing how much panic one honest man can spread among a multitude of hypocrites. ”
