Like with watchmen. They can't tell when they're being mocked.

Men need community spaces... men need safe community spaces?

[–] clucose@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 days ago

getting punched is probably not a safe environment.

No, what they really need is a secretive club that bonds through self-directed violence.

Does it lead to a cult? I’m only on board if it turns into a cult.

Tyler Durden was a real one.

Jack was the real one. He wrote about his complete lack of surprise.

I think Jack was suffering from such complete sleep deprivation and memory loss that he started living in the Paper street house without knowing it until he created the Durden persona.

The narrator’s name wasn’t Jack though.

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How do you know he wasn't named Jack?

We think it wasn't Tyler but he could have been anyone.

We don't know either way but it isn't impossible for him to actually be Jack.

If you want to be pedantic then it isn’t Jack either because he’s supposed to be nameless.

I thought the movie was about all the expectations imposed by society on adults, and about trying to find the true meaning of life despite all those expectations?

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Wrong. Bombs

[–] okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, the fighting part was like this mega dumb segue to the cool shit: tearing down the establishment

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But that's the problem: destroying a bad thing doesn't mean the new thing will be better

[–] okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

doesn't matter. bad thing gone.

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

That movie is about being closeted, and how that attraction will find a (usually destructive) way out.

See: Pete Hegseth.

Isn't also about going way too far with militant anarchism? Pretty sure the whole cult was set up to introduce anarchy to the world.

Your typical "alpha male" chud tends to be pretty right wing, so they'd be opposed to anarchism.
