    Organizing a general strike to overthrow the bourgeoisie by shitting on a piece of canvas and writing subversive poetry about noncing french teenagers

        I'm being extremely facetious, but limiting your activism to purely theoretical approaches, or god forbid, purely academical circlejerkery, is not going to get The Masses™ on your side, least of all because not all of them deal with academia and intellectuals. I've never been a huge fan of the French postmodern "left" intellectuals, mostly because the have next to nothing to show for their activism and theory in terms of concrete achievements. Performative support of the Algerian peoples and a distaste of the bourgeoisie should've been the absolute bare minimum.

          Wait that sounds familiar. Sounds American.

          Debord specifically made very consistent references to the fact that praxis is really all that matters and the spectacle that arises from societal power structures needs to be ignored and not allowed to influence praxis.

          He was also just a huge nerd.
