: "The spectacle is not a collection of images; rather, it is a social relationship between people that is mediated by images." --Debord
I say -All culture throughout history (not just advanced capitalism) is a social relationship between people mediated by images.

"In a consumer society, social life is not about living, but about having; the spectacle uses the image to convey what people need,,,," --Debord
In the history of homo sapiens, social life is about having whilst one lives.

"In a world which really is topsy-turvy, the true is a moment of the false."
Well, if one drinks 1 quart of red wine per day, yes, the world REALLY IS TOPSY-TURVY, but the next day's hangover doesn't justify a bitter tirade against the sober apolitical participants living healthy productive lives.
