“The spectacle reduces reality to an endless supply of commodifiable fragments, while encouraging us to focus on appearances”
-The spectacle has distracted us from what is important, and continues to distract us in different ways. I really do not think there is a way to get around it. It could be in forms of advertisements, objects, posters, videos, photos, nearly everything. It steers us from focusing on what is truly important in life.
“The spectacle presents itself simultaneously as society itself, as a part of society, and as a means of unification. As a part of society, it is ostensibly the focal point of all vision and all consciousness. But due to the very fact that this sector is separate, it is in reality the domain of delusion and false consciousness: the unification it achieves is nothing but an official language of universal separation”
-Going back to what I was mentioning about how the spectacle is a distraction, it is basically a fake reality but comes off as the “proper” reality. The spectacle essentially is a society and sometimes we might be pressured by the spectacle to be what we really are not.
