Brad Pitt plays the character in the film Fight Club, from which the bottom is a still photo.

Nobody with those sweet kicks is a biter. Don’t worry li’l homie, the streets got your back.
- Comment on Just give me someone to vote for who is normal 2 days ago:
We are literally caught between two political parties which are both using different styles of psychological abuse to get our votes.
- Comment on Just give me someone to vote for who is normal 2 days ago:
Bottom-center.

-
Rejection of modernism. He literally wants to return to a tribal society.
-
Fear of difference. He literally beats the shit out of the pretty guy for being “different” and pretty. Project Mayhem are all forced to dress the same and have no names. They are berated for a week in front of the building before being accepted.
-
Cast the enemies as both too strong and too weak. Tyler plans to destroy credit card companies and reset debt to zero, a lot of people would claim the financial system is an enemy that is strong, but also portrayed as weak when they strong-arm the politician threatening to cut his balls off.
-
Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy. They threaten to cut off people’s balls who threaten to expose them, the cops are literally about to do it to Tyler himself at the end of the film, because stopping Project Mayhem is a pacifist route.
-
If you don’t see the contempt for the weak here and how they only accepted Bob into their fold because the narrator pitied him, I don’t know what to tell you. Tyler would have rejected Bob as unfit and weak.
These are the ones we obviously disagree on, so these are the ones I’m addressing.
But yeah, 10 out of 14 is pretty telling in my opinion. No, this list of Eco’s isn’t definitive, but it’s got good depth and is a good starting point showing that clearly Tyler has fascist tendencies.

In 2007 I was in the passenger seat of my girlfriend’s shitty Kia because I didn’t have a car.
We stop at a stoplight and up next to us pulls up a shiny new blue Audi, and two fratbros with popped collars and sporting Oakleys.
Their speakers are on extremely loud and blasting System of a Down, specifically “Fuck the System.”
I couldn’t help but think “Man, I’m pretty sure these guys are the system.”

“If we don’t let Israel burn down Gaza we might lose votes and if we lose votes then Trump will win and if Trump wins then it’s your fault when minorities are hurt.”
- Comment on Just give me someone to vote for who is normal 2 days ago:
I mean, presenting themselves as just standing for the common man and wanting to tear down a broken system and don’t have ulterior motives is one hundred percent on brand for fascism.
- Comment on Just give me someone to vote for who is normal 2 days ago:
He wants to return to a past that never existed by tearing down the current system. He promotes the idea that men must return to being warriors, and something about the modern world has made them “weak.” He promotes that such strength must be used to dominate, and claims it can be used to improve people’s lives, as he claims with Raymond K. Hessel, despite the fact that Hessel is most likely left devastated with trauma and unable to move forward due to fear of being murdered.
But sure, he’s not a fascist.
- Comment on Just give me someone to vote for who is normal 2 days ago:
Why does everyone always miss the point that Tyler Durden is a fucking fascist.
Really changes what this meme means.

- Comment on How is it possible that Bungie didn't get in real legal trouble due to all that "vaulting" bullshit during Destiny 2? 1 week ago:
Marathon itself is a renewal of (if I recall correctly) Bungie’s first major IP before Halo, which was (also if I recall correctly) initially a Macintosh exclusive game.

Ah. I never saw this one, but the way people were talking about in this thread it reminded me that Happiness exists, a film I couldn’t fucking finish and makes me nauseous to think of to this day…
