The spectacle is both product and project of the dominant mode of production

Evidence

Understood in its totality, the spectacle is both the result and the project of the dominant mode of production. It is not a mere decoration added to the real world. It is the very heart of this real society’s unreality. In all of its particular manifestations—news, propaganda, advertising, entertainment—the spectacle represents the dominant model of life. — Guy Debord, The Society of the Spectacle, 17

• QUESTION: If the spectacle is simultaneously result and project, what falsifies the theory? It seems hard to imagine evidence against it.
