"In societies where modern conditions of production prevail, all of life presents itself as an immense accumulation of spectacles. Everything that was directly lived has moved away into a representation."

this sounds like a pre-#guydebord fantasy. But I feel you :/ maybe there is a way.
Worst case scenario @PatrickWirth is right and when climate and energy crisis are going to hit hard (I mean critically hard for the westerners) we'll get them all back at once to put this whole world to an end ;) (well ok that's a fantasy too, but you started it)

Phoole proudly points at Uncle Fweddy, who is just a skeleton, in her living room during an episode of Phoole and the Gang.

Phoole’s new TOUR TROLLEY, a chrome wire cart that allows her to wheel her DJ rig around the first floor of her house in a futile attempt to be “on tour” during Year Five of a totally-preventable global pandemic that has been allowed to disable and kill millions unnecessarily.

Uncle Fweddy relaxing with his skullo pillow.

Three views of Phoole’s living room, including Tony the Cat, who is a large orange and white cat, asleep in his cat-sized blue velvet sofa.

Old beard, new shirt.

A picture of me wearing a black t-shirt with the text "ne travaillez jamais" (never work): a famous graffiti from 1963 by the heterodox marxist (and founder of the Situationist International) Guy Debord.

The Decline and Fall of the Spectacle-Commodity Economy
Guy Debord on LA riots

https://www.cddc.vt.edu/sionline/si/decline.html

Looting is a natural response to the unnatural and inhuman society of commodity abundance. It instantly undermines the commodity as such, and it also exposes what the commodity ultimately implies: the army, the police and the other specialized detachments of the state’s monopoly of armed violence. What is a policeman? He is the active servant of the commodity, the man in complete submission to the commodity, whose job it is to ensure that a given product of human labor remains a commodity, with the magical property of having to be paid for, instead of becoming a mere refrigerator or rifle — a passive, inanimate object, subject to anyone who comes along to make use of it. In rejecting the humiliation of being subject to police, the blacks are at the same time rejecting the humiliation of being subject to commodities.

Teknologian "kaikkea samaa joka laitteessa" -höttöily alauttaa mieleeni Guy Debordin toteamuksen tavaroiden pyrkimyksestä monopoliin:

"Every given commodity fights for itself, cannot acknowledge the others, and attempts to impose itself everywhere as if it were the only one.”

”Jokainen yksittäinen tavara taistelee omasta puolestaan, on kykenemätön tunnustamaan toisia tavaroita ja yrittää asettaa itsensä kaikkialle ikään kuin se olisi yksin.” #AmberCase #GuyDebord #CalmTech

Tekstilainauksista kuva:

"Every given commodity fights for itself, cannot acknowledge the others, and attempts to impose itself everywhere as if it were the only one.”, Guy Debord, Society of the Spectacle, Black & Red 1977, section 66.

”Jokainen yksittäinen tavara taistelee omasta puolestaan, on kykenemätön tunnustamaan toisia tavaroita ja yrittää asettaa itsensä kaikkialle ikään kuin se olisi yksin.”, Guy Debordin Spektaakkelin yhteiskunta (La Société du Spectacle 1967, suom. Tommi Uschanov) Summa 2005, jakso 66 s. 65

I've been rather fascinated with the #SituationistInternational. Below is a lecture that, I believe, gives a rather good overview on their basic ideas (although a lot more can be said).
