Does it mean that the book hits you like a brick when you read it?

No idea what that that book is but looks like a reference to the note-attached-to-rock-through-the-window thing

when your teacher thinks youre studying but really youre looking at your brick

Don't judge a book by its cover.

Guy Debord is the banksy of philosophy. Like omg, the corporations, man... man people with their phones amirite right? dude im gonna blow your fuckin mind! advertising = bad. BOOM! the spectacle woah, its commodities man.

they want to sell you something you don't need. you know, thats why we need socialism. we need a bigger government and we need to take hardworking peoples money and give it to unemployed liberal art grads and refugees.

Its a reminder that this book was really important during the 1968 student contestation and riots that occured in France, in which lots of pavements such as the one in the pictures where thrown at the police and other representative of the bourgeois order and the capitalist society.

Sorry for rusty English.

Why is this board so terrible ? Nothing is discussed seriously. Ultimately, everything turns into a meme, nothing is serious. Its all a joke.

Guy Debord is not the Bansky of philosophy. No philosopher can be that simply resumed and discarded.

Why the hell is this triggering me so much ? I used to be untrollable. I dont like what I just wrote, but I feel its the truth. Fuck.

>Why is this board so terrible? Nothing is discussed seriously. Ultimately, everything turns into a meme, nothing is serious

because this board is but a mere aspect of the spectacle

it seems like the french don't like to work and every once in a while, they feel compelled to chimpout, destroy private property and in general act like ghetto blacks. it's a strange custom of theirs. but le boorguazee amirite?

or maybe, like all leftist philosophy, it's just a dollop of meaningless hegelian sophistry. It's amazing how leftists will go through dialectical hoops and intensive mental gymnastics in order to evade the obvious, harsh truths out there. don't worry, you'll hopefully grow out of it, kiddo

I really don't understand how is it possible that you know about Debord and spew those shitty libertarian strawmans at the same time.

I used to be a leftist once. then I graduated and got a real job

I'm literally in love with this girl

That is the glory of Veeky Forums. You types call it shit but I've been coming here for ten years and I still find shit I've never heard about just by refreshing the page every day.
Of course there will be bad posts that have nothing to with the topic and are uninformed, or opinions that are right on the money but tick you off. It's a vast boiling pot of the most corrupt minds of western society constantly supplied with fresh youth.

Debord is actually crystal clear on his analysis once you understand how he's doing and his vocabulary, and it's funny for right wingers to try and deny his stuff when McLuhan, who was a traditionalist catholic, came to very similar conclusions.

It means FIGHT THE POWER and throw brix through the windows of ideology

>. Ultimately, everything turns into a meme, nothing is serious. Its all a joke.
welcome to the simulacra bruv

it means that reading it will turn you into a brick-throwing person who vents his frustrations in protests.

Imagine if all the time spent on this shithole, you read instead.

It's just a heavy reaction against the tendencies of tumblr and reddit and SJWdom in general. These guys are idiots and edgy and simplistic? Then everything suggestive of leftism is gay and moreover effeminate!! Haha, you believe it's offensive to call gay people effeminate?? Sorry redditcuck!!!!

pic related, it's me after i fuck your wife

also, this to be un-ironic

such as?

it's 2016 user, meme magic affects reality more than philosophy ever has

Do not expect french editors to put related pictures on their book.

Who is this girl?

Thanks for telling me this. It's always good have another 20th century French philosophical hack to not read.

I care about concrete stuff like the national debt, individual freedoms, Islamic terrorism or the threats to free speech posed by SJWs. Muh Capitalism makes me sad is not a real threat. Capitalism has in fact improved standards of living more than any other system in history.

Tell that to pople who were colonized.

>Implying anyone should care about 3rd worlders
lmao

Of course they can, watch this:

Debord:
>MUH SPECTACLE
