They need to re-release Fight Club so young guys can see the light.

Pretty sure college is when you realize that your high school era understanding of Fight Club (i.e. the OP's) totally missed the point of Fight Club.


As someone who watched this only in college what the actual frick does this even mean

That the OP's interpretation of Fight Club is a surface-level reading typical of a high schooler. Giving him the credit of having the literacy of an idiot college freshman is more than generous.


But my original sentence said that pretty clearly.

I know that the narrator tries to “do better” at the end by killing the part of himself, Tyler Durden. But my point is that guys who are lacking in life and feel ostracized from society will eventually say “frick it” and stop playing by societal rules.

Us men are meant to be animals. We were hunter gatherers for tens of thousands of years. We were used to fighting and competing for resources. Now we have lost our purpose in life.

You’re just all in on this. It’s very entertaining.

Coming to you soon, “Is it a Fight? Or is it a Club? Or… both?” by author smooth brainz.

Oh FFS. Something this retarded doesn't even deserve a proper retort in response.

It’s pretty much a satire poking fun at everything you took away from the movie.

Why do your posts read like a school shooter manifesto?

Definitely.

Why are you still talking about it here? All chatty on the internet and not honing those primal skills.

Btw, beating the shite out of Jared Leto is a must.

I saw Fight Club the other day and it showed a lot of brutal truths about society and the political climate of today’s world.

Fight Club came out in 1999

I’m simply making an observation. And no, I don’t condone school shootings at all. I think school shooters are cowards. But finding a better understanding of the motive as to why people commit such atrocities can help us gain more knowledge about society as a whole.

Andrew Tate has done positive things for young men,

Bro is turning an entire generation of guys into whiny arse incels. Not to mention he’s a sex trafficker. I’d say Tate is similar to Tyler since both are bad people with shite messages who run a cult but the big difference at least Tyler is cool and not a douche like Tate

Speaking of the messages in the movie I find it funny how much of an anti-capitalist message it sends while having tons of product placement. Although pretty sure that’s the point since Tyler himself is also a hypocrite

One of the virtues of stoicism is justice. Andrew Tate is a sex trafficker. He's a hypocrite.

Stoicism also believes in lessening negative thoughts. Tate has made millions from the negative thoughts of young men. Again, he's a hypocrite.

He's not Marcus Aurelius. He's just another outrage-farming grifter.
