Minor correction: The quotes attributed to Mark Fischer should actually be attributed to Guy Debord. The book The Society of the Spectacle is correctly attributed, but the author is not. It is fixed in the citations document linked in the description, and I will blur the incorrect name in the video once the copyright disputes on this video (which prevent a video from being altered until the disputes are resolved) are finished. My apologies to both Fischer and Debord. The mistake occurred because I was also reading Capitalist Realism by Fischer while researching this video and others, and I typed it incorrectly into my research document.
