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.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club
That's straight-up Bolshevism. Again, I'll remind myself that the very book and Fight Club movie is programming/propaganda.
The movie and book were great but inherently ironic (idk if it was purposeful or not). The main goal of all the men was to not be a slave to things and materials. They then just became a slave to the whims of Tyler Durden. Either way we’re slaves.
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.
Don’t think its meant so much in the respect that you draw your self-worth from your possessions, but more or less they will begin to have a hold on your life and influence your decisions. Yeah, you can say it’s personal responsibility and ‘nothing in life is free’, but having a mortgage and 60k car can def act as an anchor in life.
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.
