They were blackWhat's interesting about the panthers is how all the more mainstream French people loved em, Im thinking of genet and godard. Almost like muses. So not quite loved, but there was something attractive about them.

That whole fetishisation thing going on, again.
You don't need to understand this in post-2016 terms. They just fucking hated everyone who wasn't them, and even in that select enclave they hated everyone else.Debord's disdain for experts in Comments... really sticks out post-2016.
All experts serve the state and the media and only in that way do they achieve their status. Every expert follows his master, for all former possibilities for independence have been gradually reduced to nil by present society’s mode of organization. The most useful expert, of course, is the one who can lie. With their different motives, those who need experts are falsifiers and fools. Whenever individuals lose the capacity to see things for themselves, the expert is there to offer an absolute reassurance. Once there were experts in Etruscan art, and competent ones, for Etruscan art was not for sale. But a period which, for example, finds it profitable to fake by chemical means various famous wines, can only sell them if it has created wine experts able to con connoisseurs into admiring their new, more distinctive, flavors.

The comedic value of the Situationists is definitely one of the most underrated things about them.

There's a great story about Debord responding to a letter from some revolutionary admirers in the Angry Brigade. He decided to travel to England to meet them, but when he showed up at their flat he found two blokes sitting on a sofa, drinking beer and watching football. Furious, he stormed out swearing at them in French.
Probably apocryphal, but too good to disbelieve.
Their feuds were brilliant. One of the most entertaining things about them.
