What is the spectacle?

You're in it

It's spectacular.

DUDE I CAN BE ANYTHING I WANT AS LONG AS I BUY THE RIGHT PRODUCTS LOOK AT ME I AM A WRITER NOW CANT YOU SEE

maybe read the book and discover the author's meaning for yourself instead of having it transmitted to you by a nigerian plastic recycling forum

it is a object placed on the nose and in front of the eyes to compensate for poor eyesight, allowing the reader to take in outdated manifestos from the sixties that helpfully remind him that there's nothing they won't do to increase the price of boredom.

to increase the price of boredom: wear the spectacles and read the manifesto.

bonus points: understand that the founder of the sitationalists officially disbanded the group 46 years ago.

To understand Debord you need to place him in a broader french ultraleft revisionist intelectual millieu- read up on intellectual luminaries unknown in the US such as Robert Faurisson and Dieudonne M'Bala M'Bala, and you will understand how SoS was actually a coded work about Jewish power. The lie of the holocaust is the secret powerhouse that lies beyond the scintilating and illusory images of the spectacle. Counter Semitic is the only serious threat to spectacular power. Wonder why revisionism can still land you in jail in most European countries?

>intellectual luminaries
not quite

the spectacle which can be named is not the true spectacle

How can anyone be so fkin stupid they can’t understand Debord

Before he died, Debord adopted Dieudonne as his son and successor, the franco-cameroonian comedian being the only man capable of continuing the SI's struggle against international Jewry.

The Spectacle is the result of capital.

>the spectacle is not a collection of images; it is a social relation between people that is mediated by images.
>the spectacle is capital accumulated to the point that it becomes images.
>the real consumer has become a consumer of illusions. The commodity is this materialised illusion, and the spectacle is its general expression.
>The spectacle is a concrete inversion of life
>the fetishism of the commodity attains its ultimate fulfilment in the spectacle, where the real world is replaced by a selection of images which are projected above it, yet which at the same time succeed in making themselves regarded as the epitome of reality.
>In the spectacle, a part of the world presents itself to the world and is superior to it. The spectacle is simply the common language of this separation. Spectators are linked solely by their one-way relationship to the very centre that keeps them isolated from eachother. The spectacle thus reunites the separated, but it reunites them only in their separateness.

DUUUUDE EFF CRAPITALISM

demands change over time you dumb leftist

I think commies are right about certain things.

Semiotics.

And I guess the point is that capitalism is pushing its own semiotics. Marketing and so on tricks you into associating certain lifestyles and products with a certain meaning. Since this guy is from the left I bet his thesis is only about the cultural side and not the biological one. What is happening is that marketing that fits our biology the best works, because hey, it sticks.

It represents the ideological domination of cultural capitalism, which was only in its formative stages when Marx, Engels and Lenin wrote about it. There is no escaping or opting out of the logic of capital, it has taken on all social relations, systems of belief and "traditional" norms.
