Can "Bread & Circus" be seen as an informal fallacy?

"Bread & Circus" could be seen as an example of a Red Herring fallacy, a type of informal fallacy. The Red Herring fallacy is employed when someone presents irrelevant information in an attempt to distract others from a topic that's being discussed, often to avoid dealing with an issue directly. The diversion can seem relevant but is actually off topic. In the case of the government or people showcasing thriving infrastructure and technology while diverting attention from extreme poverty and lacking basic human rights, they are indeed employing this kind of fallacy. However, it's important to note that while a fallacy indicates flawed logic or deception, it doesn't necessarily invalidate the positive things being showcased.
