There's good and bad lines from Fight Club. It just dawned on me that ANTIFA and Project Mayhem are after the same goals. I always enjoyed the "men's movement" aspects of Fight Club, while hating the communist aspects of it. Ditto for V for Vendetta, but I digress.
What's scary, is that ANTIFA sees themselves as liberators, and they've pushed that into the minds of useful idiots. BLM rioters loot out of envy, ANTIFA 1st goal is not so much taking your stuff, so much as destroying it so that it can no longer be possessed. Granted, they're full of shit, so they might keep you're stuff anyway, but whatever.
“The liberator who destroys my property is fighting to save my spirit. The teacher who clears all possessions from my path will set me free.”

That's straight-up Bolshevism. Again, I'll remind myself that the very book and Fight Club movie is programming/propaganda.
That's bullshit, IMO. You can own anything you want and live responsibly. If you only live to show what you own, or derive your self worth from your possessions, then yeah it's going to eat your soul.
But if you're grounded in who you are no matter what your socio-economic status, or internet notoriety, or how many "likes" you get or whatever, then your possessions are just things you collect that can either bring you joy or go away with no serious impact.
Exactly, this copout excuse to call that line brilliant is just mind botteling. I own my house and car. Sure they will need maintenance and upkeep, thats simply personal responsibility.
The parents are also to blame but I think we've basically molded our culture into an attention seeking mini-celeb lifestyle through the use of social media. The parents follow it and pass it down to their kids. The whole thing is disgusting.
That is true, but at the moment a large segment of the population don't even see it as a problem. We need to be good parents but also attack this at a cultural level.
I dominate the culture in my home. Communism may not be suitable for a government but it's perfectly suited to a single family household. My home's firewall is more impressive than China's.
I'm all for reversing course on the nation's culture, but I won't put the blame elsewhere for what happens in my home.
That's the important part. You can't make your kids pariahs by making your home totally free from the culture outside. They need to be taught principle and independent thought to grow into functional adults. The more degenerate parts of society, however, can be removed without consequence.
I have a neighbor who is generally pretty based, but they joke all the time about their daughter and how they need to keep her "off the pole" because of how she messes around on Facebook chat showing her butt, etc to her friends.
Now, their daughter is very little, so obviously it's innocent from her perspective, but I always feel a little twinge when they joke about that. I just want to tell them to take the fucking ipad from her and get off facebook chat! Literally nothing good will come of that, but they're facebook addicts and won't listen.
Every once in a while I can hear the facebook narratives shit out of their mouths in spite of their usual tendency toward being pretty based and it just crawls up my spine.
Yep. They will joke it into existence. I know there is a lot of love for the show It's Always Sunny... besides the fact that Danny Devito has always made my skin crawl, that stupid fucking toll troll song is reprehensible. I will not quote the words. I banned that bullshit show in my house long ago and any overly sexual jokes are always admonished. Some things just aren't funny.
That's why I dont like that recently popular anime Seven Deadly Sins(among others). They shove in all the sexual shit wayyyyyy too much. Like, it doesnt bother me when one of them shows throws something in every now and then but when I sit down and watch a few episodesnof a show and theres so much of that garbage it overshadows everything else.. yeah, no. 🤮

They not only don't see it as a problem, they see it as an "opportunity" in more ways than one. This is how I picture the last frame of that picture: https://i.imgur.com/IqnkJDq.jpg
Like what's that even mean "attack it at a cultural level" that sounds exactly like the made up shit I hear everyday on Daily Blast Live (my coworker watches it every day for some reason so I'm along for the ride)
There are way too many Disney mom's out there who don't discipline their kids (especially young women) as a protest against slut shaming. When young girls wear clothes like prostitutes they are okayed and encouraged by the parents who think it's beautiful and brave.
It's the fault of the parents. Nobody else. And so long as we aren't willing to put the blame where it rightfully belongs the problem will continue
Yep. If you let the TV and computer raise your children, then you shouldn't be surprised when your children grow up to be degenerates.
Agreed. The things you own end up owning you.

Not so fun fact: Fight club is just one giant inside joke and a metaphor for the gay bathouse scene.
Look up who wrote the book.

Nothing in life is free
Which is why I am a minimalist
I am too. Climate Change Crazies make me sick with their constant buying and polluting.

I taught my kids to listen very carefully to advertising and political speech. I figured they would hear it, anyway.

Chris Rock does that "keep my daughter off the pole" line in his stand-up routine.
It always seemed like a euphemism for something worse when he said it.
Nah, they won't get any of that money. Planned Parenthood will sell the parts without telling them and keep the money for themselves.

Disney.
