*laughs in tradition*

The amusing paradox at the heart of this thread is that 'Society of the Spectacle' makes much of the same criticisms of society as Guenon's and Evola's 'Crisis of the Modern World' and 'Revolt Against the Modern World'.

Both of them criticize how various aspects of modernity such as consumer culture are obscene and lead to an impairment of general degeneration of society and impair quality of life and critical thought.

It goes to show how fascism and socialism are in many ways two sides of the same coin. Claim that the 1% is exerting negative influence over the country and need to have their wealth and power limited or regulated by the government and you're a radical leftist but then point out that the 1% is 90% Jewish and suddenly you're a Nazi.
