>I see all this potential, and I see it squandered. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables - slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our great war is a spiritual war... Our great depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars, but we won't. We're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.
The funny thing is, if we weren't so dumbed down by the chemicals I bet we'd actually get angry and active over this. Unfortunately there isn't a man under 40 that isn't being rendered thoroughly docile by the government's wireless mind control
Lincoln Jenkins
He's right though and only the hopelessly autistic and involuntarily celibate can't see a glimmer of truth in Tyler's words
Henry Wright
Pretty much. Think of how much more we’d probably get done if we weren’t addicted to shitposting here.
Kayden Robinson
We have no leadership. Anyone that steps up is getting their head cut off and the other daisies stomped on. The state and media are too powerful, so we turn to absurd means like pushing for Trump and other meme candidates to get elected just to see what happens.
Luis Nelson
Tyler is one of those retards who thinks that times were better back in the day when we live in the most peaceful and comfy time in human history, poverty and disease is on a rapid decline, technology is making us live longer, we can survive doing the bare minimum, etc. Why do we need a Great War? or a Great Depression? If you want challenges why not just set your own challenges; go run a marathon, climb Mt. Everest, go run a triathlon, start a business, direct a movie etc. We create our own purpose and place in this world something that retard Tyler didn't understand.
Also what's so bad about having a normal white collar job? You work from 9-5 in a relatively comfy environment doing the bare minimum and get a good salary doing it. Would you rather have been a peasant farmer toiling until your back breaks? People who think having a career is slavery are lazy retards who lack ambition. Can you imagine what an actual slave would of thought of you when you said your fucking job which pays you well and which you can leave at any time is equivalent to slavery? They'd probably hang you by their own chains for being a fucking entitled pussy.

>we create our own purpose Individualism is a lie.
Xavier Baker
Nobody has stepped up before, that's just you being scared. What figure has actually attempted a recent popular uprising? Fucking Bundy? The truth is everyone has the same sentiment in their head, we need to reach the era of self-starting leaders that demand loyalty and followers, not followers demanding leaders to be loyal too.
Gabriel Reed
>we have no leadership We live in an age of individualism and self-interest (thanks to Capitalism) so you can become your own leader and don't need to wait for a savior to come and save you. Also instead of having just one "leader", we have many because everyone has access to a platform thanks to social media, so if you have something to say and something to contribute and you can amass a following you can become a leader yourself.
Caleb Wilson
How so? Individualism is freedom. Do you hate freedom? Do you want the government to give you purpose? Aliens? God? Maybe you want an external source of purpose because you are too afraid or you don't think you are good enough to create your own purpose..
Luis Sullivan
You first, faggot.
Logan Nelson
I believe in you. You can do it.
Robert Phillips
Wholesome, but bluepilled.
Jack Harris
He was talking to the doomer generation.
Another book/movie ahead of it's time
Jack Torres
How is it bluepilled?
David White
>We live in an age of individualism and self-interest (thanks to Capitalism)
This. The rest is horseshit though. Capitalism has helped create a society that alienates and disempowers us. Our "normal" isn't normal. We can have communities again.
Michael Nguyen
You can have your own community by starting a family.
Caleb Cooper
RIP your community when both you and your wife have to work for corporations or the government 40 hours a week to support yourselves, while your kids are in public school getting brainwashed and corrupted by the staff and their classmates.
Gavin Reyes
Capitalism robs you of the full joy of having a family. It steals the best year of your life as you work a bullshit job. More and more hours for less and less. Less time with your family, less memories, less energy for the time you DO have with your family.
Dylan Davis
And then what? Watch them get swept away by tides of cultural, technological change? No matter how strong your family is, it's not stronger than the dissolution that's in store, if things keep going this way.
Not many people can handle this level of freedom.
Jayden Cook
Tyler Durden is the bad guy
James Collins
don't forget the chronically LOW testosterone thanks to the plastics and other estrogenics young men have been subject to since birth. We never stood a chance.
Asher Price
>Not many people can handle this level of freedom. If you're not an NPC you don't have to worry
Satire stops being such when decades pass and its message becomes reality.
Ethan Williams
more like shite club
Robert Ortiz
Why is everyones test so low? Got a test and it said I was in the mid 900's. Is it cause everyone fat? I do boxing and weightlifting so I'm in decent shape, but if plastics did the shit you said I should still be low test.
Mason Brown
>Implying it's capital ism that killed community, not the internet The druggy never takes it out on the drug
Adrian Miller

Dominic Long
>Wahh why can't someone tell me what to do with my life and give me purpose, instead I have to actually find my own purpose in the world Fuck off
Ian Richardson
>Individualism is freedom. kek
Caleb Smith
Imagine actually believing this.
Ryan Bell
>watch Fight Club in 1999 when I was 7 >”that was weird” >catch the end on tv sometimes >”that was dumb” >see teenagers deifying Tyler Durden and juvenile nihilism >”that’s dumb” >finally rewatch it two nights ago >”that was very funny” I’m glad I finally turned around. Also rewatched Big Lebowski this year and finally enjoyed it.
Parker Foster
are you implying that everyone who has found his purpose automatically gets to devote themselves to that purpose? there are millions of people who have found their purpose but are unable to pursue it because they have to make a living, or have a total lack of opportunity. the world is not as simple as you seem to think
Ethan Rodriguez
Is it wrong to be voluntarily celibate? Not for religious reasons, more so that people are shit and you don’t want to run the risk of future pain.
