Guy Debord on the streets



"Nihilism is quick to moralize, as soon as it is touched by the idea by the idea of self-justification; one man robbed banks and took pride in not robbing the poor, while another never killed anyone when he was not angry. Despite all of the eloquence at their disposal, they were the most unpredictable people from one hour to the next, and they were sometimes quite dangerous. It is the fact of having passed through such a milieu that later permitteed me to say sometimes. whith the same pride as the demagogue in Aristophanes' Knights: "I too grew up in the streets!"
- Guy Debord, Panegyric
