I have homework to do: for the third time in the last couple of months, #Situationism has come across my path. I need to learn more. #SituationistInternational

For any #weeb wanting to get into #situationism, #zom100 (Bucket List of the Dead) may be a good stating point. It's in essence a #detournement of the zombie genre where mundane existence under capitalism is the source of horror, while post-apocalyptic life is pretty great actually.

If anything this picture from the second variant of the opening should tell you everything you need to know about creators views on society of the spectacle vs. actually living.

“Anyone who talks about revolution and class struggle without referring explicitly to everyday life - without grasping what is subversive about love and positive in the refusal of constraints - has a corpse in his mouth.”
From “The Revolution of Everyday Life”, Raoul Vaneigem

Does anyone have any good book recommendations on the Situationist International? I was recommended to look into it because of the kind of art I make myself. My knowledge about it is pretty base level.
