    The spectacle may have eaten the whole world, but you can't destroy it (and we need to) by completely accepting its premise. Truth (in relation to the real world and experiences, to material reality) may be absent or obscured in the spectacle (the new york times, etc..), or may sometimes appear temporarily as a momentary burst of partial truth within falseness (the onion, etc..), but to accept either as actual truth (material reality, real social relations, real experience) is to surrender to the spectacle and be re-appropriated by it in some way, and also means you end up cut-off from material reality completely.

    Yes i've started reading Society of the Spectacle how can you tell?
