"From a time long ago when we sold our vote to no man, we have abdicated our responsibilities. The People who, once upon a time, handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now sits in craven silence, and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses."
Juvenal, Satire X
Perhaps that would better be translated for the modern mind, smartphones and reality shows
