HUMAN SACRIFICE TO THE SPECTACLE
The Spectacle won’t be made flesh. It is flesh. Always has been flesh.
Started to cut together Episode Zero today and news of the anti-ICE shooting in Texas came across the feed. In a few months, lone political shooters will be so normalized they’ll get only a brief mention in the news just like school/mass shootings. In its zero sum war for your attention in a hypersaturated media environment, the Spectacle demands constant innovation and radicalization of the Spectacle itself. The Spectacle requires more victims. It needs more grizzly crimes. So the number of bodies will increase in reverse proportion to people’s decreasing ability to care. The goal is to keep you trapped in the Spectacle. Cost is no object.
