(i'm going to hate myself if i lose this) i accidentally stumbled upon the Situationist International(e) - SI - a little while ago. i ran across a political poster of theirs actually. i'm starting to really become big on that entire idea. the political poster that i found had a message in french on it - so i tried searching for that to find out what the heck this meant and what it was related to. the quote is "une jeunesse que l'avenir inquiete trop souvent" (a young girl disturbed by thinking too often of the future). as i was researching this group - these people - i ran across an article from 2001 called 'demanding the impossible' and it was just absolutely beautiful. it talked about the group and summarized what the group's vision was. and it had a very now take on the SI.

"People who talk about revolution and class struggle without referring explicitly to everyday life, without understanding what is subversive about love and what is positive in the refusal of constraints, such people have a corpse in their mouth"- Raoul Vaneigem, The Revolution Of Everyday Life
