Call It Sleep Part 1

Thanks egoD. this is good stuff

[fiddlerfart]

i thought this was about henry roth

[raizon36]

I never got the point of situationism, it's just Marx's basic ideas on alienation and commodity fetishism remixed with a bunch of made up jargon and adulterated with anarchism and some sociological concepts. I say just hand people an excerpt from the 1844 manuscripts and a dime bag of weed and we'll have a million little Guy Debords running around.

[kutthroat84]

What is this, Pre-Crimethinc?

I guess it could be said that this is "pre-crimethinc" BlackRabbit. Nearly all crimethinc texts have plagiarized Situationist ideas to some extent.

@LovexandxRage BlackRabbit here (just now checked my oooooold email inbox): Over the past year or so I've come to learn that these ideas aren't new, very few "revolutionary ideas" are. Just that the culture (by way of the State) is very sophisticated in eradicating, demonizing, and tabooing anything that strays from it's influence.

Taking acid helped too...

PS: love the name :D

[LovexandxRage]

@LordShivasServant Similar ideas, new material conditions. As long as oppression evolves and technologies revolutionize, so will strategies of the proletariat. Hegel said what Fichte said, Marx said what Hegel said, Lukacs said what Marx said, Debord grabbed em all in some way and now every post-anarchist has a base in the SI's ideas.

[mrbugler]

such an annoying voice-over.

[wullmull]

brilliant

The narrator (ironically) makes it seem as if the spectacle is inevitable, even while he explains that the existence of it depends on our choice to not participate in our own lives. I don't really like his tone.

[fastmailfm]

This is actually kind of bad. It makes the spectacle sound so mysterious, even as it's trying to demystify it. So it comes across with a tone of conspiracy or even religious evil.

In fact it is just the product of all our activity that we do everyday-which is determined by the economy and politics instead of human need and joy-combined into force blows up in our face.

[fastmailfm]

Th point of life in this society is to try to acquire a position sheltered from that blowback. Failing this-as must be the case-the fallback position is just self distraction, "culture" consumer life, "love" etc. But notice this-everywhere in tis film you see the distribution or consumption-where is the production?

Non of this can exist without petroleum, mining, logging assembly etc.

fantastic video, very thought provoking.

[exobscura]

This is very intelligent. "A perpetually schizoid state... this is daily life." The only analysis of modern westernised society that will last irrefutably. (You only have to look at every anti-social artefact exploited as "humour" to realise how low we are as a "civil"isation.)

[unxzst]

excellent!

down with the spectacle!

[NihilisticWhiteAura]

Wow, as soon as I looked more into it and understood it, I was fascinated.

[blastingcaps]

cool. real revolutionaries, not cry baby rich kids in masks.

[wog7]

Great stuff.

How old is it?

[stihlman37]

Excellent!! Thank You!
