    I watched enough.  No need for leaf blowers.  Send them to your neighbors pulling off your driveway.  With a noise louder than a helicopter.

       

    The Society of the Spectacle: Annotated Edition

       

            View the annotated edition of Guy Debord's The Society of the Spectacle below, or Download the PDF (2 MB).    

       

    Or, if you prefer the spectacle Debord made, behold:

    I had one year of French at a time when my focus was elsewhere.  With help from google translate I was able to to translate much of what is shown as subtitles and quotes.  I took about four hours stopping and slogging through.  Periods of excellent heterosexual scenery mad the slog easier.  I may get interested enough to make a proper English subtitled version.  With help from someone who speaks French well to generate a proper transcript to work from.

    People like to shit on Debord.  He was a total Marxist and no You-Tube video can exist in 2024 without kicking the shit on the Marxist man-can down the road.  I watched several videos about his book.  Now I will go through the book.

    Debord hate has an amusing aspect to me, but I don't expect it does for many.  Most I suppose, jump on the bandwagon without noticing a thing.  It is the social thing to do.  But the hating  is transparent to me, obvious and clear.  Being as I am into Uncle Karl.  It gives the weaknesses and biases of the presenters away.
