I think fight club is similar to harry potter saga.

[Sustacel250]

In the movie harry potter, the protagonist is portrayed as a beta cuckold who passively accepts ideology of the normies. Only one time the passive beta cuckold harry gets angry because some racist mage racisted hermione. Harry didnt even react to it, he was just pissed because everyone could see that harry wanted his dick sucked.

Since harry secretly loved hermione, and he wanted her to slurp his balls, he "protected her" against nazi racist mages. But thats all it is. Harry didnt create a new mage society to stand against values of voldemort, he didnt do anything meaningful just protect his penis interests for selfish reasons.

This is the attitude of a passive beta bitch whos not willing to revolt. The same is in the movie fightclub (i didnt read the book didnt care). you see in the movie a man devastated mentally by ideology, he says a lot of true things. For example he says his life sucks, has no purpose, he says that he would have preferred be a boomer andfight a pointless war, he also didnt like ikea ideology but he bought all these furniture anyway. He didnt like the meals, didnt like being childless sexless loser in a fake job in a fake company.

Overall he said true things, but he didnt react, like harry. Instead he became an abused dog, a victim of society. His brain melted, he became an abused dog and started to go crazy. Didnt do any rebellion. Didndt do shit, he just organized with other losers and started to beat them up with punches. The normies solution is always the same "hey lets fuck each other instaed of rebeling".

The idea is the movie could have shown a hero trying to fight ikea ideology by building an art community of people who reject contemporary art and postmodern design. He didnt do any of that, he just subserviently became a betabitch cuckold. Lost in life and started to "embody the decline".

All these movies are subliminally training us to repeat this pattrn. Instead of showing heroes who rebel, they show us jokers and taxi drivers and declinist people who embody the derelicte. And hollywood especially cares to associate a sense of "being cool" to these edgy personas. So we think joker is what we want to be, or fight club is our model to follow. None of us will rebel if we keep following hollywood. We have the power to do something, but we will choose the scripted fate offered by these movies because is all we know.
