  • Fight Club at its core is about how society fails to provide men a safety net for their emotions / personal development and instead pushes them to things like consumerism and unrealistic expectations of masculinity. This is what triggers the narrator to become nihilistic, angry, and eventually violent. The reason society is the way it is towards men is because it was set up that way by the patriarchy to keep them in their societal place and so that capitalism can keep capitalizing.

    There’s lots of articles about it (and how its so often misunderstood). I’d also recommend the book, as the different ending drives the point home in a different way imo.

    Interesting point about evanecessence (JFC what a word to spell). I get more depression rather than anger from them lol
