Situationists and such.

Would Situationist strategies of resistance work today? Would a credit
card company be able to predict and neutralize any resistance in
advance? With questions like these, there is not necessarily a right
answer. It is important to just struggle with the question and attempt
to think it through yourself.

I think that the main idea of the Situationists was to live in unpredictable ways. Maybe their original strategies would be predicted, but I feel that they would find new ways to dodge the consumer related and mainstream trends of society. Credit card companies are looking for trends or patterns in people's lives and use of their cards. Situationists are looking to break trends and live in ways unique to themselves and in defiance of the social norm. So I think that the strategies of the Situationists would work.
