"The things you own end up owning you" Words I still live by. Fuck brands

[@TheLevitatingFleem]

This movie kinda reminds me of True Detective S1 in terms of there just being an assload of quotes in both of them that reeeally make you think about the way *you* think. I love it

[@JustSomeGuyLV]

"No, I don't smoke." That was hilarious.

[@kaitlynendsley5735]

Why?

[@JustSomeGuyLV]

@@kaitlynendsley5735 Because he says "i don't smoke" to himself while literally holding cigarette in his mouth, just not realizing it.

Only people who've seen the movie will get that joke lmao

[@jaimerodriguez1550]

Haha not yet anyways

[@jaqenhghar5794]

The thing you are watching this on right now.... That thing owns you. You have to admit it. Period.

[@661.julian4]

Fuck, I own a iPhone 13 that I don’t need. The only reason I got it was because it was cheap. I’m fine with an Android.

[@Call_Me_Matrix]

I have a smartphone that's respectable with decent headphones

[@JT-qw1cn]

I'm fine with that. I mean whats the alternative

[@jaimerodriguez1550]

The best line i stole from this, is when I ask someone question and I throw at the end of it "is this essential to our survival in the hunter gatherer sense of the word"

[@nisaac86]

Just recently I moved from Vancouver Canada to Brisbane Australia. I sold everything and only had two suitcases and a backpack full of stuff. What I love is that I don't need junk to define me. Drop me in the middle of somewhere and I'll find the things I need to survive and thrive.

society has gone opposite of fight club. People want that six pack, anyone and everyone now can be a rockstar or celebrity thanks to youtube. Millenials lost generation would kill to have a boring office job. Ikea is now more popular than ever, amazon sales through the roof, everybody needs a smartphone.

[@zachmorley9566]

+mrzack888 Fight Club was just ahead of its time I guess. The reason consumerism has held on for so long, and likely will for years to come, is simply that it appeals to too many of our primal satisfactions. In America no one is hungry- you literally have to go out of your way to die of starvation. People are comfortable and it is only until people seize having their comforts met that change can occur. Until then we'll laugh our way to oblivion like Rome.

[@TetraSamurai]

JML the desire to be cool and fit in is a primal need. So yes it is a primal need to buy a smartphone

[@brinckau]

+JML Very smart comment.

[@johnvictorengland7703]

That’s why this movie is so great. It is fundamentally a fascistic critique of consumerism. It struck a chord with young white males because we’re the ones most alienated in this culture. We’re only used to hearing a Marxist critique of capitalism. This was a fresh angle for a lot of our people.

[@_sneer_]

Yet, despite acknowledging that, you waste your time in some virtual world called KZbin, trying to impress virtual people you don’t know with your smart comments, and all that virtual world can and will disappear someday at a snap of a finger of some corpo exec that sees no profit in continuing. How sad you are. Oh, wait... that’s me.

If only I had teachers that used fight club as teaching examples back in highschool. Greetings from a psychology freshman.

[@XxXI3linkXxX]

Sadly they don't teach this in school :|

Did you graduate yet? Greetings from a soon to be high-school freshman.

if i seen this movie in highschool , i would be a completly diffrent fucking person , but, i think you can only GET It , unless you watch at a certain time of your life.

[@jivzu4548]

How the hell brad pitt didn’t win an Oscar from this part is beyond me

[@ShopnilK]

they don't wanna talk about fight club

[@lordmasterization]

Too many men would watch this movie and stop consooming, and turn against the system...

[@amruz777]

1st rule of fight club is you do not talk about fight club

[@jackthenarrator4735]

Don't ask questions. Just consume product and then get excited for next products.

[@milvache]

Its so true, you consume so much that in the end the consumerism own you

For some reason I feel like Tyler Durden is Patrick Bateman, only he is not a psychopath, and somehow found a way to solve the contradictions and the ridicule of the american lifestyle.

[@vmipsychmajor]

You might enjoy the opening chapter of Walden by Henry David Thoreau, very powerful social commentary.

Just like there are female gender studies on colleges campuses, there should be male gender studies and this movie should be a required watch in the curriculum!!

"The things you own, end up owning you." -Tyler Durden, 'Fight Club' "If you want to create a thief, create property. If you want to create a criminal, create laws." -Odonian proverb, 'The Dispossessed' "Property is theft!" -Pierre-Joseph Proudhon "Is the concept 'theft' at all possible unless one allows validity to the concept 'property'? How can one steal if property is not already extant? ... Accordingly property is not theft, but a theft becomes possible only through property." -Max Stirner on Proudhon
