Franfurt School philosopher TW Adorno describes ideology as being all that a group of people need to act collectively...
In Sophie Fienne's film The Pervert's Guide to Ideology, Zizek claims that we cannot escape ideology, that it is everywhere. He argues that critique of ideology - recognising that it is everywhere - is not about uncovering 'truth' behind ideology. Instead, it is about recognising ideology that our reality is always filtered through ideology - and perhaps especially in (mass) media.
In our study of Black Mirror, we also thought about how spectacle is a powerful force for collective action; from a crowd chanting at a basketball game, to online avatars chanting for a young woman to sign her life away as a porn star(/slave).
There is clearly overlap between the concepts of spectacle and ideology, and their power over us as (social) beings.
