> you can't sell that as a sport to people and foment tribal thoughts as easily Panem et circenses. My niche theory on why we've become so politicised, is because it's become entertainment. Trash reality TV. Today the circenses are not the gladiators fighting for their lives, but the Orange Man vs Old Geezer sitcom on dinner time TV and in the front page of your newspapers. One will find there is little difference between the trashy TV fan and the person avidly following political debates. Meanwhile those reality stars keep stealing and making their friends richer, disregarding any laws because they're the ones making them.
