One major reason why the Roman government instigated the gladiator fights and like entertainment was to distract the empire from what the government was up to. Think about it: citizens going to the Circus Maximus for free? Does that sound like something the government did out of the goodness of their hearts? No. They knew people were less likely to rebel against a poorly run system if they were kept entertained and focused on something else.
So your question is: is our current government distracting us with anything today? What might it be, and what might they be trying to draw our attention away from? Answer using RARE.
