He was in the process of tearing down modernity to replace it with anarcho-primitivism. It makes sense that he'd view designer fitness for purely aesthetic reasons masturbatory. Doesn't have much function when you're a barbarian hunter gatherer.
(for context in that picture they just saw an ad, forget if it was for cologne or underwear, with a touched up fitness model and edward norton's character asked if that was what a real man looks like)
Ignoring the author's gay intent, this line mirrors Ted Kaczynski's thoughts on modern fitness culture. He was a total cardio bunny and saw lifting for excess muscle as just another form of consumerism
Seemed more like a fascist movement than an anarcho-primitivist one to me, and even then he was really doing it purely for social Darwinist pro-change reasons anyways not for some political goal.
Yes but a cope mechanism isn't a bad thing unless you plan to escape society completely. We all cope with society's rules and hierarchy by trying to make more money, dressing fashionably, doing different things to attract a partner, personal hygiene, etc.

Black folk, why the frick would I listen to some infertile dyel homosexual who died in prison when it comes to fitness? Are you literally moronic? Is this a coping mechanism that you can't bench more than a hundred kilos? Should I also listen to some other homosexual emo kid who shot other kids in a high school in burgerland in regards to my squat programming?
I was actually just showing the parallels of the movie quote with his opinion. I'm not a proponent of his lifestyle or even the idea that the Industrial Revolution was a bad thing. I actually think he's mostly moronic
Seeing people glamorize fight club and overanalyze every single line in that movie is downright hilarious.
Like bro, you're watching the story of some wagie who wagie'd so hard that he turned into a nutcase, split his personality in half, beat the shit out of a bunch of people, and then almost killed himself. It doesn't run much deeper than that.
I guess if you're a wagie and you feel like you're stuck in a rut, maybe go have a vacation before you decide to burn yourself with lye and blow up some buildings. Idk.
its not a deep movie at all, but you're being reductionist for no reason, its still a movie about modern masculinity, maybe more so from the perspective of a 90s edgelord anti-consumerism, tyler durden isn't necessarily a "split personality" because "he went insane", its basically some idealized pre-industrialization alpha male expressing his rebellious behaviour against the modern world, as cringe and shallow as this sounds nowadays.
there are a lot of things in the movie/book that make a point, like when they put a gun to some random kids head and tell him to study or they will kill him if he doesn't, the narrator's selfdestruction in general, and the "let go" scene in the car.
>yeah so im your schizo ideal of what you should be. >i have abs, low body fat, and everyone likes me. >my hair is jelled randomly to make you think im homeless but actually im not im a bad boy. >im destroying society and making soap out of human body fat. >i started this club where men bare knuckle brawl because the author is autistic and has never been in a fight in his entire life but has heard about people fighting.
The book the movie is based on is written by a homosexual and it is full of homosexual subtext, I would even say it is pretty in your face when you realise it. Their lifestyle is self-destruction!
The full quote is: 'Self-Improvement Is Masturbation, Now Self-Destruction...'- Tyler Durden.
But at the same time there is some truth to it. Self-Improvement without a higher goal, just for the sake of it, is masturbation.
from the authors perspective tyler durden is basically a toxic masculinity and is the bad guy, which is why the narrator eventually kills tyler inside of him and comes to that realization, its a very typical liberal thing because tyler durden is essentially right about society being (inherently) harmful to men, tenfold the case in our era, and you can't help men without admitting that and changing things in laws, culture, etc.
its why progressives/liberals are completely incapable of addressing shit like the incels and failure + loneliness among men, they will never admit the society they created caused it and needs to be undone to fix it
its also why therapy doesn't work for men with these issues, its some sort of post-christian guilt culture where all salvation comes from the individual and nothing external is ever acknowledged to have an effect on people, just confess more dood

It's still about self-destruction, even more so actually. Everybody now is anti "fat shaming", pro race-mixing, pro homosexualry, pro casual sex, everything is just about justifying hedonistic pleasure.
he says this whole wearing fashionable clothing picked out by the fashion department for the movie production. brad pitt worked out hard and did roids to get his body lol.
this whole movie is really a deconstruction of brad pitt as a person and what he represents. the movie hates him and people like him
saying its ironic is a lazy excuse to not see what this movie is. a rich attractive movie star saying consumerism bad and you should self destruct. and then he went home to one of his many mansions and fricked a bus load of 9/10 models
I don't know how intentional it was but it's funny that people like to identify with the tyler durden character, not realising he's appealing because he looks cool and hot from doing the exact opposite of the things his character espouses (working out, grooming, dressing fashionably). Edward Norton's character looks increasingly shitty and sickly as the movie goes on which is what the actual result of Tyler's philosophy of self destruction is.
[...]
I always though that was ironic
It is like
the film is mostly about tyler ultimately being wrong, haven't you paid attention
points out but most fans of the movie either don't get that or willfully ignore it. In fairness, I don't think the moviemakers really cared that much about getting the point across.
the funniest part is his dumb rant about how they were led to believe they would be famous one day but were lied to... in a movie. said by a famous actor and considered one of the most attractive men in the world at the time
its so bad lmao. how does anyone beyond the age of 12 take this shit seriously
>how they were led to believe they would be famous one day but were lied to
This is me , but by other sources that are not mainstream... speaking of it I remember require for a dream was such a good joint...
Yeah, obviously. The only reason people go to the gym is to either get stronger because they feel weak and pathetic/manlet, or they are so ugly they need to compensate with muscles
Psyops to discourage young men from doing self improvement. Stupid as I was I followed this advice at the time and now I'm reduced to shitposting on IST
It is, but most things are and it's better than most.
He meant that masturbation is good for you.
I jerk off 4 times a day since watching that movie so I can be like brad pitt
Story written by a gay loser. Disregard

Because it's an exercise in indulging vanity and insecurity. When you could just wack off and be free of those distractions.

Nice man, I thought you were implying. Sixes of truth.

I'm being just reductionist enough to get the edgelords butthurt.
>inb4 why
cuz funny
>beat the shit out of a bunch of people
who's gonna tell him
troonychud movie for chudtrannies

Any kind of action without a clear end goal is a form of cope. Fitness has no final goal, its lifting for the sake of lifting.
>progress cant be a goal
Please go back. Thank you.

Honestly its like the 00's were about the self destruction and now suddenly its all about sig....I dont know why I got this feel honestly...
It's still about self-destruction, even more so actually. Everybody now is anti "fat shaming", pro race-mixing, pro homosexualry, pro casual sex, everything is just about justifying hedonistic pleasure.
>It's still about self-destruction
You right.
The focus of the book is not some commentary on modern society.

>A man shouldn't look like a calvin klein model
>he says, looking like this
A literal gay wrote the book, and I suspect a lot of gays were involved making the movie. It's not realistic in any regard.

Its just a movie so its not supposed to be taken seriously
Lots of kiddos do take it seriously.

Yeah, obviously. The only reason people go to the gym is to either get stronger because they feel weak and pathetic/manlet, or they are so ugly they need to compensate with muscles
daily reminder that the entire point of the movie was that tyler durden was fricking wrong about most shit
the film is mostly about tyler ultimately being wrong, haven't you paid attention
