Thats whats "funny" about all this. People pretend like average citizens in the past were those hardcore badasses that ate nails for breakfast because they had tough lifes. Yes they had tough lifes, but at the end of the day they would do the exact same thing that most people do today. If they got food in the fridge and games on the TV then they won't dare rebell against the crown.
Sadly for us, the bread and circuses of the modern age dwarf what was available then, making it exponentially harder. I don't see why it won't continue and get far, far worse.
Yes, sadly you are very right on this. Bread and circuses is something I always tell people about because it is the most basic human nature and can be seen all the way back to ancient Rome and Greece. Today it is so much easier to entertain people and so much easier to feed them and for most folks that is all they truly ask for.
That is why Jordan Person says of you where in germany in the 1930s you would shut up and sit down like the German people did, or you would be a NAZI your self.

I think we all know a couple take charge people who are truly scary. I imagine that's what TJ, GW, PR and the others were like.
