Why is Tyler Durden always included in this meme? The author made it pretty clear Tyler and his world view is something good to be aspired to.

Whoever made this wants men to do what they are told
Most of these movies show extreme examples of people breaking out of conformity to make big impacts

Supposedly the terrorism, but truthfully I have begun to see the point in domestic terrorism in 2026 as a foreigner observing the US. It's too large of a landmass for one country with at least two very dichotomous cultures.

He's the only one with depth to the character beyond "he thinks he's doing good but actually he's crazy!!!! edgy!!!!" but that doesn't necessarily mean that the other characters' are lacking for their respective pieces of media.

There's a very weird thing going on lately where saying you like a character is for some reason taken as "I completely agree with them on every level and want to emulate them"
It's very odd

He just wanted to kill people. Earlier he almost did a political assassination for the same reason, he’s nuts and wants to have meaning by killing somebody. It’s supposed to be ironic that his vigilante rampage ends up being seen as heroic by authorities and the public. Did you forget he also tried to kill himself after killing the pimp and the other guy? He just had no bullets left

>>223451206
There’s a fundamental difference between liking a character in a movie and insisting they’re a hero who did nothing wrong when objectively the people are deranged, violent and often crazy and if you met them irl you wouldn’t find them cool and someone to admire

>The author made it pretty clear Tyler and his world view is something good to be aspired to.
So? The author of Mein Kampf made it pretty clear his world view is something good to be aspired to (and it is).

Why would the guy who made that meme give a fuck about what the authors behind those works felt?

Why do we give a shit what the author thinks if death of the author exists with these people?

>>223455447
>capitalist
I think where it all went wrong was having shareholders. It demands perpetually increasing profit margins, perpetual growth. At a certain point it can only come from lowering quality. For a company like MacDonald's that means their food tasting more and more like cardboard and opening more locations than the business can sustain. For a software company, the only cuts in quality that can be made are to the developers, so for them it means replacing your entire workforce with Indians. The snake consumes itself in the end.

Leftists are not capable of understanding right wingers
That's why when they try to satirise them they end up creating characters that are more appealing
>>
>>223451252
just put the solution in the flask bro
>>
>>223455650
Regulation is the primary tool that large corporations use to stifle competition. The other is access to credit controlled by a central bank.
Economic liberalization is the worst thing for big business. They don’t want to deal with lots of upstart competitors. They want lucrative government contracts and a highly regulated economy where only a few big players can navigate the miles and miles of red tape and bureaucracy.
Large companies can take advantage of economies of scale but they are very slow to respond to shifting market demands and very rarely take the lead when it comes to innovation. Look at how Google fell behind with the AI boom.
>>
>>223455778
what do you even want then
>>
>>223451415

Women quite literally just hate men and how men are. The tech industry was just marginalized autists doing work they were good at and they had the audacity to call them "bros" as well and destroy their culture.
>>
>>223455815
The whole (something)bro comments always make me unnaturally mad. I cant describe why, but it is usually just such a shallow and catty insult.
>>
>>223455688
Part of the project is to deliberately give bad guy characters many good traits in order to convince the audience that the good traits are themselves bad. If the audience didn't identify or relate to those characters, in order for them to be told in person that they're bad for doing so, that would be a failure on their part.

>>223455778
Large companies right now will simply buy up innovators when they want the innovation. And if they don't want innovation in order to protect a less efficient but more profitable business model, they'll buy up the innovators and shut them down (or just slow roll it, or patent troll it, or a million other things).

It's not that they're slow to innovate, it's that they want to slow down innovation deliberately.
>>
>>223455617
Making a profit is something a business has to do, in order to remain a going concern. But when making a profit is the point of the business, all kinds of bad things start to happen. Ideally a business is supposed to be providing a living to people, if profit is the main goal this is always directly opposed to providing a living, since they'll be trying their best to pay less to people and hire fewer people.
>>
>>223455815
>Women quite literally just hate men and how men are
This. This phenomenon can be observed in just about every male circle that has been invaded by women. It always starts from just naked malice by women who neurotically hate everything men enjoy

>nooo you don’t understand large banks and corporations want the regulations that keep them from just openly dominating every market

Thanks for reminding me of an old meme about how because oil companies are the primary “investors” in alternative energy, that means they want alternative energy. That doesn’t get regurgitated as much anymore as we all saw how all that worked out.

He didn’t cite it, but he’s talking about dodge vs ford, where ford shareholders sued ford for paying its employees too well and not prioritizing shareholders. Dodge won, which set the stage for all business since.

They want to get all the money they can out of oil, and this will not happen if alternatives get good too soon.

But also they want to own the alternative energy for when oil does run out. And some forms of alternative energy are very 'decentralizing' technologies (it might be possible to build energy neutral housing, for example), they want to make sure they aren't the ones we use.

Everything in the world makes sense if everyone read that book and aspire to achieve the book's goals. Jews and Russians are just untrustworthy as we're finding out in big 26. If everyone viewed the world in those lenses the world heals from its drunken stupor since 45.

But millennials and Gen z especially NEVER take any blame or feel shame for their actions. It's always justified with some bs about muh childhood or muh parents or muh disability. I'm Gen z and I hate people my own age because they never own up to shit. The amount of people I know who have a DUI and bitch and moan about how they really shouldn't have gotten in trouble just baffles me.
>>
>>223450022
Ends don't justify the means. While a Fight Club is a cool concept you really shouldn't be randomly fighting strangers to near death in a dirty basement to "clear your head". I'm not suggesting therapy because it's usually jew bullshit but something like a gym or a martial arts dojo or just taking a hike should resolve most mental health issues.

its just shit film making. i like fight club as a whole work, but for a visual medium like film the movie outright lies to the viewer to accommodate the plot and thats absolute dogshit.

"oh, we lied, the story actually didnt go like this at all, it was actually this and i was an unreliable narrator this whole time teehee" works in books and media because an unreliable narrator is allowed to misrepresent things or present a strictly biased perspective, what he can not do is just hand wave away shown scenes like they never happened - unless its cohen brothers meta narrative stuff and was introduced early on as part of the style.
>>
>>223454491
The closest thing is the narrator claiming that he could imagine Tyler's words coming out of his mouth before the reveal.

The movie at least included a montage of events from the first half showing the narrator doing everything Tyler was doing
