"The spectacle presents itself as a vast inaccessible reality that can never be questioned. Its sole message is: "What appears is good; what is good appears." The passive acceptance it demands is already effectively imposed by its monopoly of appearances, its manner of appearing without allowing any reply."
The idea of voting and voting campaigns is what came to my mind when I read this passage. Every represenative has motives or plans that sound good and seem productive. They always make compelling arguments that they are the best for the position at hand. The whole system of voting is all about appearances since thats what catches most peoples attention. When it comes to spectacles they are seen every where when it comes to advertising for campaigns.
