“Art is meaningless,” says Baudrillard. He explains that “There is a mutual annulment of art and reality. Before, they used to potentialize each other, now they cancel each other out.” Distinction between reality and fiction becomes blurred. Image becomes real. Simulation colonizes the mind. The foundation is built on ideological dispositif exerting power to promote the capitalist hegemony. Capitalism is maintained by images, simulation, and held together by situations. Thus, an abundance of situations concerning capitalist narrative may be revealed. Debord uses the term ‘spectacle’ to denote a capitalist totality. Creating situations and images to break the illusion is the way to challenge the submersion. Once we achieve the freedom to think we have to think clearly. After achieving clarity, an idea of ourselves are no longer trapped in an idea of capitalism. If one examines semioticist dematerialism, one is faced with a choice: either reject the capitalist paradigm of discourse or conclude that the most potent weapon of the poet is deconstruction, accelerationism, and situationism.

Land, Debord, Baudrillard, Zizek infused and influenced solutions. All explanations emphasize the moment of truth. Each approach is correct in its own way. I believe these interpretations have worthy critiques. We have to abandon the fantasy of the ideal future. Future is occupied by artifacts. It is assumed that our abilities to abandon the fantasy of the future will be available once we develop our ability to utilize weapons against the occupying power. Extend the maximum of our capacities to create situation before capitulation. This will give us the possibility to make a economy for our own sake, to open a possibility for socialization, to coopt capitalist culture and creative powers. The danger is that in our social ecology we're born into a reality in which this class is no longer oriented only towards capital but hegemonical dominance. We're in crisis, isolated, atomized as we have been subjected to by capital. This crisis can no longer be acted against via the instrument of the institutions of old. We must accelerate them to their knees and break the fourth wall, the lull with the absurd and dissonance, manipulate the images, institutions, narratives, apparatuses, and situations holding together the capitalists rule.
