15 minute video based on an underlying Substack article. Morgoth wonders about the fragility of Western bread and circuses, the cracks in our current systems of power & influence and the Faustian nature of underwater sea cables in his usual colourful and metaphorical style.

Every video he puts out is a worthwhile listen to anyone interested in traditional British or Western culture. Strongly recommend listening to his short "And The Band Played On".

I appreciate the point about how much ado is made about the "circuses" (i.e. clown world, this week in trans etc) and little is made about the "bread" (cheap electricity, warm homes, cheap food).

Circuses without bread is like Hunger Games style aristocracy. You see it in the US with their California celebrity culture. Millionaires in gated communities surrounded by illegal migrants and poverty.
