RE: To be fair...

Yes, exactly. The ancient Romans called this "give them bread and circuses". So as long as we are not starving and have football games and movies to watch, most are quite content.

According to the Meyet-Briggs personality inventory the two largest quadrants comprise 80% of the population and they are quite content with bread and circuses.

The rest are kept in line with the famous "divide and conquer" - Democrats vs. Republicans, black vs white, Christian vs Jew vs Muslim - the list is endless. That was perfected in 1924 as shown in the BBC documentary "Century of the Self". (linked earlier)
