You don't. Even if you do escaping the Spectacle is only part of Spectacle.

Debord is a good start if you are a teenager who is just learning about progressive critiques of unrestrained capitalism. But looking back it is awfully juvenile, and leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Trust me, I had my situationist phase between freshman and sophomore year of college, but that was before I got seriously involved in activism. Have you ever even met a diverse group of people? gee, I'm just as oppressed as queers, women and people of colour, because I'm snobbish about not watching netflix shows and because I have to wake up to go to work every weekday! are you aware of how that sounds?Nevermind that you always had TV role models who shared your identity, nevermind that in your work, by every standard you still benefit from unfair privileges and structures.

talking about the spectacle can be a means of denying social reality and denying the responsibilities associated with the very real state of emergency and your very real positioning in society, which depends on unconscious structures that are more complex than capital and in most cases antedate capital.

Basically you escape The Spectacle by exploring, creating, and aspiring towards dreams with all the energy you can. "Seek and you shall become" is the basic principle; the problem is having a strong enough will to search.
