Materialism is garbage and that the only way to succeed is to gain influence and success through your will to power.
Don't let yourself become a nice guy or you will explode in vindictive rage one day.
Men in our society have their masculinity suppressed.
>>18194917
the plot is about how the "appeal to masculinity" that our culture promotes is mostly bullshit that arises from a desire to be better/do better in life
don't bother with the macho stuff, just be better
the movie ending is kind of shitty coz it just ends up promoting the kind of logic it was trying to suppress

Well, that's Palahniuk for you. If you think that's weird, read Rant or something like that kek.
But to answer your question, you can see it in two different ways. The first is >>18195003 and >>18195732
The other is more like >>18194974, the narrator is a wage-slave and stuck in life so his mind takes back control using its insomnia. So he created the Fight club (and project Mayhem) to release his frustration, by taking revenge from the whole system.
But honestly, I think it's a mix of the two
Your dad fucked up.
>tfw this movie isn't actually about a fight club
>tfw this movie isn't actually about the wacky adventures of a former insurance salesman and a bohemian soap-maker/movie projectionist/waiter
2/10 movie would not recommend
