00:00:00.160 Fight Club, a warning for men.
00:00:01.700 20 years ago have long been forgotten, but among men love Fight Club.
00:00:05.640 Most films made over 20 years ago have long been forgotten,
00:00:08.760 but among the tiny few that maintain their relevancy,
00:00:11.560 Fight Club always comes on top.
00:00:13.360 Because Fight Club is more than just a film,
00:00:15.180 it's quite literally a religious story.
00:00:17.480 The story begins deep within the narrator's mind.
00:00:20.140 Fight Club? Chat, have you seen Fight Club?
00:00:22.500 I can break it down pretty easily.
00:00:23.920 It's about the spiritual warfare that's going on,
00:00:26.460 and it came out in 1999,
00:00:28.200 and talks about how the Matrix is controlling people
00:00:31.720 and how there's really a war on men going on,
00:00:33.880 because men hold most of the power.
00:00:36.820 And so they take away the power by masculinizing the women,
00:00:39.640 and now you see the result in this movie.
00:00:41.980 The first scene in the movie,
00:00:43.240 he's going to a breast cancer therapy session.
00:00:46.280 He doesn't even have breast cancer,
00:00:47.760 and he's there sobbing, putting his face in other man's tits.
00:00:50.780 They're trying to show all the limps,
00:00:52.300 how men are becoming weaker and sadder,
00:00:54.700 and they're there in support groups,
00:00:56.260 and they're crying, they're sexless,
00:00:57.900 they don't even have their balls anymore.
00:01:00.240 It's sad, but that's what Fight Club is about.
00:01:04.320 He kind of wakes up because there's an alternate version of him,
00:01:07.380 Brad Pitt, more masculine, more traditional,
00:01:09.720 not giving a fuck, anti-government, anti-establishment,
00:01:13.000 and then there's like a revolution that goes on.
00:01:14.940 But they mess it up,
00:01:15.800 they end up blowing a bunch of buildings up,
00:01:17.620 and that's what happens when people don't have direction.
00:01:20.840 But we shouldn't,
00:01:21.480 that's not what the revolution should be,
00:01:23.000 burning down buildings and starting,
00:01:24.960 what do they call it again?
00:01:25.700 I mean, they went from Fight Club to Project Mayhem in the movie,
00:01:28.880 but Project Mayhem, like,
00:01:30.400 bro, Project Mayhem does nothing.
00:01:31.980 Burning down buildings is not going to help the world.
00:01:34.160 It's way bigger than that.
00:01:35.000 But that's what the movie's about.
00:01:35.920 It's about the spiritual warfare that's going on,
00:01:37.640 and it came out over 20 years ago.
00:01:40.860 People started becoming awake to that then.
00:01:42.500 If you look at all the movies from 1999,
00:01:44.260 you can see that there's so many movies exactly like that.
00:01:47.140 Like, American Beauty, The Matrix.
00:01:52.080 Look at all these movies.
00:01:55.000 That's starting to talk about this idea.
00:01:57.100 Eyes Wide Shut.
00:01:58.920 You guys know what Eyes Wide Shut's about?
00:02:00.260 That's literally just about the rituals that Epstein does.
00:02:03.360 All the creepy rituals of the mass,
00:02:04.800 and you know what they did?
00:02:05.360 They censored this movie, Eyes Wide Shut,
00:02:07.560 and guess who died right after making it?
00:02:09.360 The director.
00:02:10.200 Stanley Kubrick died.
00:02:12.060 This was his last movie,
00:02:13.280 right, I think, before the movie was even released.
00:02:15.160 Movies, the best movies of all time,
00:02:19.020 there's a reason why they're so ingrained in pop culture,
00:02:22.520 because there's information in there
00:02:24.300 that's disguised as just entertainment,
00:02:26.720 but they're really revealing truths about society, for real.
00:02:29.700 In 1999, so many of these movies touch on this.
00:02:36.560 Magnolia, I think was a, I didn't see that one.
00:02:40.420 Fight Club, 1999, and then American Beauty.
00:02:43.980 They don't even show it here.
00:02:50.140 The Green Mile talks about how,
00:02:52.700 like, the racism that goes on
00:02:54.100 and how black men are still modern-day slaves in America.
00:02:59.620 This was starting to wake up
00:03:01.320 right before the turn of the millennium.
00:03:03.320 A lot of these movies.
00:03:06.000 And then if you want to see a movie
00:03:07.140 just about, like, how the simple life
00:03:08.700 makes people miserable
00:03:10.020 and how people all lie about living a life
00:03:12.280 that they actually enjoy.
00:03:13.540 Yeah, I think it actually was.
00:03:14.540 American Beauty is a perfect example
00:03:16.540 of one of those films.
00:03:18.360 But there was something about that year.
00:03:20.300 Something about, like, the end of the 90s
00:03:22.360 and, like, after the war on drugs
00:03:24.100 and the new millennium was starting
00:03:25.760 that people started to wake up
00:03:27.220 to what was really going on.
00:03:28.600 There's lots of really cool
00:03:29.900 information in this stuff.
00:03:31.940 But Fight Club, for example,
00:03:34.640 is specifically about
00:03:35.720 the war on men
00:03:37.220 and how they're trying to make men
00:03:39.340 weaker and weaker and weaker.
00:03:40.900 And so these men start waking up
00:03:42.300 by joining, like, a men's club.
00:03:43.820 They go to a fight club
00:03:44.520 and beat the shit out of each other
00:03:45.580 to get their masculinity back.
00:03:48.500 Shawshank Redemption 2.
00:03:50.320 A movie about a guy
00:03:51.520 who was falsely accused
00:03:52.480 and ends, oh, that's not 1999,
00:03:53.800 but frees himself from prison.
00:03:55.660 But, like, also The Matrix.
00:03:58.780 You know, this is the whole idea right here.
00:04:00.420 The Matrix really describes
00:04:01.820 this whole thing in one movie.
00:04:04.560 But why do you think it was all 1999?
00:04:06.780 Because people started to wake up then.
00:04:08.200 All these directors.
00:04:09.280 There was some synchronization going on.
00:04:11.440 Something happened
00:04:12.220 in those years leading up to it
00:04:14.700 where it changed.
00:04:17.800 And if you pay attention,
00:04:18.800 you can see it.
00:04:19.740 It's not just, think about it.
00:04:20.620 It's not just entertainment.
00:04:21.700 They're trying to tell you something.
00:04:25.660 So, have you seen any of these movies?
00:04:30.580 As we're shot through his consciousness
00:04:32.020 and into the mouth of the narrator,
00:04:33.860 where Tyler is preparing
00:04:34.880 to turn society into rubble
00:04:36.580 and begin the revolution.
00:04:38.080 But how did it get to this?
00:04:39.320 Well, it starts in a regular day
00:04:40.540 in an artificially lighted,
00:04:41.800 soul-crushing office.
00:04:43.080 The narrator is a sleep-deprived,
00:04:44.480 caffeinated drone.
00:04:45.560 Everyone is a copy of a copy,
00:04:47.320 printing the same things,
00:04:48.500 dressing the same,
00:04:49.300 and drinking the same Starbucks lattes.
00:04:51.020 The narrator is quite literally
00:04:52.560 a slave to the 9-to-5,
00:04:54.040 with his only passion
00:04:55.040 being Ikea furniture.
00:04:56.580 What kind of dining set
00:04:57.880 defines me as a person?
00:04:59.220 Look what he's getting distracted by.
00:05:00.800 Ikea furniture.
00:05:02.320 And then you know what happens?
00:05:03.340 His whole apartment burns down.
00:05:04.680 If you haven't seen this movie,
00:05:05.540 there might be a little bit of spoilers
00:05:06.700 when I react to this.
00:05:08.400 There's actually going to
00:05:09.060 definitely be spoilers in this video.
00:05:10.900 But you still can enjoy this movie
00:05:12.900 because it's so relevant.
00:05:14.200 It's so culturally relevant.
00:05:15.580 This guy's a bitch.
00:05:16.660 He lives alone,
00:05:17.560 doesn't get pussy,
00:05:18.600 and just like filling up his life
00:05:19.800 with a bunch of material is dumb shit.
00:05:22.240 Closets from Ikea.
00:05:23.240 He has all these magazines.
00:05:24.940 He's miserable,
00:05:25.940 and he doesn't realize it.
00:05:27.000 And what does he do?
00:05:27.780 He works in this most boring office,
00:05:30.240 like what are they,
00:05:30.640 like print paper,
00:05:31.600 whatever the fuck.
00:05:32.520 A boring slave matrix job.
00:05:35.300 Just absolutely nothing unique about him.
00:05:37.760 He's dull.
00:05:38.420 Every time they put the frame,
00:05:39.900 the camera on him,
00:05:40.440 this is his face.
00:05:42.900 But then you see the alternative Brad Pitt
00:05:44.800 wearing clothes he wants to,
00:05:46.340 saying that self-improvement
00:05:47.640 is masturbation.
00:05:48.560 That whole character
00:05:51.000 is the antithesis to him,
00:05:53.180 the slave mind.
00:05:54.260 Somebody who's just in the system
00:05:55.860 and doesn't realize it.
00:05:57.340 Somebody who's connected
00:05:58.500 to something bigger
00:06:00.100 that actually just wants
00:06:01.300 to take his power away.
00:06:02.560 And so they end up revolting.
00:06:04.060 By living such a monotonous life,
00:06:08.240 his body can no longer rest.
00:06:09.840 He's never asleep,
00:06:10.780 but he's never awake either.
00:06:12.080 Look at that face.
00:06:13.480 Soulless.
00:06:14.080 So to deal with this,
00:06:15.200 he goes to find people
00:06:16.100 who are deep in despair,
00:06:17.420 as a way to not only
00:06:18.340 feel better about himself,
00:06:19.640 but also to form
00:06:20.440 the deep connection
00:06:21.220 that is missing in his life.
00:06:22.620 One of the first people he meets
00:06:23.820 is a man called Bob.
00:06:24.840 Bob fears for his masculinity.
00:06:26.600 His testicular cancer
00:06:27.600 has reduced him
00:06:28.340 to a blubbering mess
00:06:29.300 who's been stripped
00:06:29.980 of his masculine energy.
00:06:31.080 Literally testicular cancer,
00:06:32.320 that's an analogy.
00:06:32.960 They're getting rid of your balls.
00:06:34.660 They're domesticating you.
00:06:35.820 No more balls.
00:06:37.940 I'm sad.
00:06:39.220 And they literally grow tits.
00:06:40.960 And some of them
00:06:41.540 even start lactating.
00:06:42.620 You can see the fucking milk
00:06:43.880 coming out of the titties.
00:06:45.640 They're bitching men up.
00:06:47.680 It's not just about cancer.
00:06:49.600 A man whose hormones
00:06:50.680 morph from testosterone
00:06:51.560 to estrogen.
00:06:52.580 A man who's lost
00:06:53.240 his children's respect.
00:06:54.600 A man whose life
00:06:55.380 is expiring fast.
00:06:57.020 The narrator shares his pain.
00:06:58.360 He feels that lost connection.
00:06:59.900 And so the narrator
00:07:00.740 becomes addicted
00:07:01.640 to the men's whole group.
00:07:02.960 He becomes addicted
00:07:04.360 to self-improvement.
00:07:05.640 He becomes addicted
00:07:06.400 to the support group.
00:07:08.340 You people,
00:07:08.760 a lot of you
00:07:09.100 who are just watching
00:07:09.740 the same self-help videos
00:07:10.920 every single day.
00:07:12.400 No fap.
00:07:13.580 No fap.
00:07:14.940 I need to go stretch
00:07:16.340 every day.
00:07:17.180 Okay, tell me what to do.
00:07:18.560 It becomes a comfort zone.
00:07:20.140 Just like the support group.
00:07:21.640 Because deep down,
00:07:22.880 everybody here is miserable.
00:07:24.040 Look at all these men.
00:07:26.600 Office space.
00:07:27.340 Somebody donated.
00:07:27.900 Office space is the same thing.
00:07:28.860 It talks about the mundane nature
00:07:30.340 of this nine-to-five life.
00:07:34.960 So you can get caught up
00:07:36.260 in the ritual
00:07:36.840 of going to self-help
00:07:38.040 support groups every day,
00:07:39.400 watching improvement videos,
00:07:40.980 or you can wake the fuck up
00:07:42.320 and see the bigger picture.
00:07:43.640 Take your balls back.
00:07:45.560 There's none of this connection
00:07:46.700 anywhere else.
00:07:47.680 When their workspaces,
00:07:48.700 opinions, hobbies,
00:07:49.560 and tastes
00:07:49.920 are all the same,
00:07:50.800 people can't connect
00:07:51.640 on that deeper level.
00:07:52.820 It's only times of despair
00:07:53.900 that can foster
00:07:54.540 any semblance
00:07:55.360 of human connection.
00:07:56.240 But then why have men
00:07:57.480 become so weak?
00:07:58.500 What is behind this male despair?
00:08:00.260 Well, I've spent countless hours
00:08:01.480 studying this phenomenon,
00:08:02.560 and there are three main things
00:08:03.740 causing this.
00:08:04.600 And they might surprise you.
00:08:06.000 But before we go into that,
00:08:07.000 we need to see how Fight Club
00:08:08.000 tackles masculinity
00:08:08.900 in the 21st century.
00:08:10.700 The story cuts forward
00:08:11.560 to the narrator
00:08:12.080 living out his regular life.
00:08:13.620 A life of wasting time,
00:08:14.780 doing meaningless,
00:08:15.480 unfulfilling tasks,
00:08:16.580 and watching his life
00:08:17.400 end one minute at a time.
00:08:18.880 Where everything is packaged
00:08:19.980 in atomized portions.
00:08:21.780 Shampoo-conditioned combos,
00:08:23.360 sample-packaged mouthwash,
00:08:24.960 tiny bars of soap,
00:08:25.960 living a transient life
00:08:27.320 where everyone he meets
00:08:28.160 disappears again
00:08:29.060 on the next flight.
00:08:30.220 His life is absolutely meaningless.
00:08:32.340 There's no purpose at all.
00:08:33.440 He's going through the motions.
00:08:34.680 And they tell you
00:08:35.340 that this is a good life.
00:08:36.480 They tell you that
00:08:37.100 the middle-class American life
00:08:38.440 is the top of society.
00:08:40.160 But really,
00:08:40.700 these are the most controlled
00:08:41.700 and soulless people
00:08:42.880 in the world.
00:08:43.760 Look at his face.
00:08:44.820 Chat, you know people
00:08:45.540 who look exactly like this.
00:08:47.100 So don't get caught up
00:08:48.020 in the fucking self-help routine
00:08:49.940 because it's just a support group
00:08:51.360 for loser men.
00:08:52.600 Wake up.
00:08:53.280 It's way bigger than that.
00:08:54.320 It's way bigger than
00:08:55.140 just picking up girls.
00:08:56.280 That's not what the red pill is.
00:08:57.520 It's realizing what they're doing.
00:08:59.300 They're taking away
00:09:00.080 your whole life.
00:09:01.100 Is this the face
00:09:01.820 of a happy man?
00:09:02.940 Over and over.
00:09:04.300 The only interesting thing
00:09:05.140 in his life
00:09:05.620 is the fantasy
00:09:06.280 of dying in a plane crash.
00:09:09.160 However,
00:09:09.660 it's on one of these fights
00:09:10.700 where the character
00:09:11.280 Tyler Durden
00:09:11.920 is introduced.
00:09:12.980 A man who's the opposite
00:09:13.780 of the narrator
00:09:14.340 in every way.
00:09:15.300 A man's man.
00:09:16.240 With a big leather jacket,
00:09:17.400 shades,
00:09:17.880 and unlimited confidence,
00:09:19.140 Tyler Durden
00:09:19.680 begins to change everything.
00:09:21.020 His calm stoic confidence
00:09:22.480 with his fatalistic outlook
00:09:23.780 makes for a perfect
00:09:24.880 testosterone-laced aura.
00:09:26.360 And as he drives off
00:09:27.060 in a stolen sports car,
00:09:28.300 the narrator goes back
00:09:29.060 to his regular life,
00:09:30.200 only to find
00:09:30.920 all his possessions have gone.
00:09:32.520 His Ikea home
00:09:33.360 has evaporated.
00:09:34.440 His identity
00:09:35.080 and past life
00:09:35.820 has been reduced to ash.
00:09:37.320 It's in this moment
00:09:38.200 where the narrator begins
00:09:39.100 to regain his true masculinity.
00:09:41.120 Okay,
00:09:41.380 so then what is causing
00:09:42.280 men to feel so weak?
00:09:43.360 What's behind this male
00:09:44.120 disconnect in real life?
00:09:45.700 Well,
00:09:45.860 I think one of the main
00:09:46.780 reasons behind this
00:09:47.680 is that men
00:09:48.180 no longer have
00:09:49.060 any means of self-expression
00:09:50.540 or deep connection.
00:09:51.660 See,
00:09:51.900 what I think Fight Club
00:09:52.600 really taps into
00:09:53.360 is the kind of shallow
00:09:54.220 avatars we've become
00:09:55.320 where real authentic
00:09:56.300 connection fades
00:09:57.160 behind the 9-to-5 struggle.
00:09:58.560 When you live this
00:09:59.180 9-to-5 existence
00:10:00.020 in a decaying dystopian
00:10:01.160 megacity,
00:10:01.960 you never get-
00:10:02.400 That was The Matrix.
00:10:03.400 All these movies
00:10:04.140 told the same exact message
00:10:05.480 and they all came out
00:10:06.420 in the same exact year.
00:10:07.760 And it's funny
00:10:08.180 because they didn't plan it out.
00:10:09.640 It's just that
00:10:10.020 a lot of these directors
00:10:10.920 who saw the bigger picture
00:10:12.560 were all realizing it
00:10:13.760 at the same time.
00:10:14.700 It wasn't something
00:10:15.200 they decided,
00:10:16.080 but all those movies
00:10:16.720 Office Space,
00:10:17.460 American Beauty,
00:10:18.580 The Matrix,
00:10:19.400 Fight Club,
00:10:19.960 all have the same exact message
00:10:21.520 and all have the same
00:10:22.640 main character.
00:10:23.660 A lost man
00:10:24.700 working a 9-to-5
00:10:26.020 who's miserable
00:10:26.880 and doesn't realize why
00:10:28.420 and ends up waking up
00:10:29.620 and taking his masculinity back.
00:10:31.740 Even though these movies
00:10:32.480 came out over 20 years ago,
00:10:33.780 we still need to re-watch
00:10:34.920 these movies
00:10:35.400 and learn the lessons
00:10:36.360 that they were trying
00:10:36.880 to tell us in 1999.
00:10:38.000 Get that shared struggle
00:10:38.880 or accomplishment.
00:10:39.980 Instead,
00:10:40.280 we're just working
00:10:40.820 in the same room
00:10:41.580 on tasks that don't engage us
00:10:42.900 or put us in a natural flow state.
00:10:44.540 Instead,
00:10:44.840 we live a lifestyle
00:10:45.560 that numbs us
00:10:46.360 into flaccid apathy,
00:10:47.740 devoid of passion,
00:10:48.620 healthy aggression
00:10:49.260 or connection.
00:10:50.120 Instead of us going out
00:10:51.080 into the world,
00:10:51.660 exploring the unknown,
00:10:52.680 facing shared adversity
00:10:53.680 and overcoming it
00:10:54.840 for the benefit of the group,
00:10:56.080 we now do the same tasks
00:10:57.500 silently as our desks.
00:10:59.640 The fact is
00:11:00.260 that average life
00:11:00.980 for so many men
00:11:01.940 means that their relationships
00:11:03.000 are always functioning
00:11:04.000 on a surface level.
00:11:05.420 And with so many
00:11:06.180 limited connections,
00:11:07.360 we turn to supposedly
00:11:08.460 social means of relaxing.
00:11:10.240 Going on Tinder,
00:11:11.260 playing video games,
00:11:12.240 going to the bar,
00:11:12.920 watching pran,
00:11:14.120 beating off,
00:11:14.840 looking at TikTok,
00:11:15.920 all the same distractions
00:11:17.040 that existed back then,
00:11:18.380 drinking yourself to death,
00:11:19.620 popping these pills,
00:11:20.780 reading these stupid magazines.
00:11:22.440 Like,
00:11:22.700 it's all the same now.
00:11:23.760 The programming
00:11:24.260 is just different
00:11:25.040 and actually easier to access
00:11:26.420 and dumbs you even longer now.
00:11:27.900 It's getting worse.
00:11:28.460 It's getting stronger.
00:11:31.420 That's why I went viral
00:11:32.620 on TikTok in three days.
00:11:34.000 It's so easy to figure out
00:11:35.260 how bot-minded you are.
00:11:36.680 I'm going to say it again.
00:11:37.920 Everybody on that app for fun
00:11:39.280 is plugged into something
00:11:40.580 that they do not even realize.
00:11:42.940 to supposedly unwind.
00:11:44.660 You see all these men
00:11:45.480 piling up in sticky low-end clubs
00:11:47.340 to bathe in the waters
00:11:48.240 of the profane,
00:11:49.160 destroying their body
00:11:50.220 to the crescendos
00:11:51.140 of recycled thumping bass,
00:11:52.920 scantily dressed paralytic women,
00:11:54.940 and salivating droog-like men,
00:11:56.660 rushing to the refuge
00:11:57.600 of an inebriated stupor
00:11:58.800 to feel some sort of connection.
00:12:00.600 These low-end bars,
00:12:01.460 clubs,
00:12:01.820 and Tinder
00:12:02.240 are like a slot machine
00:12:03.240 where you spend your money
00:12:04.300 and time to get hooked
00:12:05.180 on the prospect
00:12:05.800 of winning a sloppy,
00:12:07.040 disconnected hookup.
00:12:08.360 The people,
00:12:08.980 have you ever gone to a casino
00:12:10.000 and seen the old people
00:12:10.880 who just sit there
00:12:11.580 getting fattest,
00:12:12.360 sitting at the slot machine
00:12:14.000 watching the colors
00:12:14.680 on their face,
00:12:16.940 and they could just sit there,
00:12:18.400 ding,
00:12:19.020 maybe this time,
00:12:19.960 maybe this time,
00:12:20.880 maybe this time,
00:12:21.780 maybe this time.
00:12:22.360 That's the same exact thing
00:12:23.280 when you scroll,
00:12:24.180 scroll.
00:12:24.440 You can see people in public,
00:12:25.440 they just like,
00:12:25.820 when they're bored for a second,
00:12:26.540 open their phone,
00:12:27.320 Instagram,
00:12:27.760 refresh,
00:12:28.240 Twitter,
00:12:28.580 refresh,
00:12:29.160 go open up clothes,
00:12:30.080 Tinder,
00:12:30.360 refresh,
00:12:30.740 refresh,
00:12:31.080 refresh,
00:12:31.480 waiting for something
00:12:32.100 that's going to happen.
00:12:32.680 It's just like going
00:12:33.220 at a slot machine,
00:12:34.220 waiting for life
00:12:34.880 to give you some meaning
00:12:35.780 and it's never going to.
00:12:36.780 If deep social connections
00:12:38.240 were normal for men,
00:12:39.600 if men felt connected
00:12:40.600 to their labor
00:12:41.220 and the people around them,
00:12:42.360 but they felt like a healthy,
00:12:43.620 unrepressed individual,
00:12:45.060 there would be no need
00:12:45.740 for any of this.
00:12:46.760 We wouldn't be wasting our lives
00:12:47.940 getting drunk,
00:12:48.680 standing out in dead-end clubs
00:12:49.860 until God knows when,
00:12:51.060 to be with everyone else
00:12:52.000 who's doing nothing
00:12:52.600 with their lives,
00:12:53.300 all for the hopes of meeting
00:12:54.120 someone to get off of,
00:12:55.340 and then only to repeat
00:12:56.160 the cycle every single week,
00:12:57.760 all because you just want
00:12:58.640 to feel that love and connection
00:12:59.620 you never had.
00:13:00.380 It makes it hard
00:13:01.060 to be an awkwardly mobile
00:13:01.960 young man when your life
00:13:02.940 is defined by throwing
00:13:03.960 your money at video games
00:13:05.000 and getting plastered
00:13:05.980 and pulled a vomit.
00:13:06.840 At video games,
00:13:07.720 now what's the same thing?
00:13:08.640 You guys all,
00:13:09.140 it's getting worse.
00:13:09.980 You should be giving your money
00:13:10.780 on video games
00:13:11.400 and online gambling.
00:13:12.160 Now it's OnlyFans,
00:13:13.920 Twitch streamers,
00:13:15.020 here, here, here, here, here,
00:13:16.240 to these girls sitting
00:13:17.180 in hot tubs.
00:13:18.120 Okay, maybe you'll love me
00:13:19.220 if I give you all my money,
00:13:20.180 if I give you all my money.
00:13:21.340 These OnlyFans girls
00:13:22.200 are raking in cash
00:13:23.420 doing absolutely nothing.
00:13:24.980 That's something unprecedented
00:13:26.280 and unheard of.
00:13:27.400 They can make a million dollars
00:13:28.640 in a month
00:13:29.160 showing booby pictures
00:13:30.380 and never thinking,
00:13:32.200 never having to work,
00:13:33.380 and a lot of them
00:13:33.820 are so dumb
00:13:34.600 that they don't even
00:13:35.320 do the work.
00:13:36.040 They give 70% to some agency
00:13:37.700 and don't even just sit there,
00:13:39.680 take three pictures a day
00:13:40.880 sometimes,
00:13:42.040 and get a million dollars
00:13:43.320 a month.
00:13:44.360 It's insane.
00:13:45.740 They're dumbing us all down
00:13:47.200 and they're giving all the money
00:13:48.440 to the women
00:13:48.980 for doing nothing.
00:13:50.220 And not even if they're
00:13:50.920 just on OnlyFans,
00:13:52.000 all these girls
00:13:52.640 are just shaking ass
00:13:53.460 and twerking on the
00:13:54.100 Explore page too.
00:13:54.960 It's the same exact thing.
00:13:56.420 And you're there like,
00:13:56.940 I love you.
00:13:57.800 Oh my God,
00:13:58.580 you're a queen.
00:13:59.380 You're a queen.
00:14:00.020 You're a queen.
00:14:01.100 And they see all these
00:14:01.800 dumb idiots
00:14:02.500 gassing them up
00:14:03.520 and they just
00:14:04.160 get all this power
00:14:06.140 and then they walk around
00:14:06.980 happy as fuck.
00:14:08.140 They're trying to give them
00:14:09.280 all the power
00:14:09.860 so we have none.
00:14:11.260 And with this power imbalance,
00:14:12.620 they're messing up
00:14:13.260 all of society.
00:14:14.000 Why?
00:14:14.420 To take away the control
00:14:15.520 from us, wake up.
00:14:16.400 And in the last few years
00:14:18.060 with jobs going remote,
00:14:19.040 people becoming unemployed
00:14:20.040 and robots replacing
00:14:20.980 manual labor,
00:14:21.880 we've become even more
00:14:22.820 depressed and isolated.
00:14:24.360 And men are on the brunt
00:14:25.480 of all of this.
00:14:26.580 With male suicide rates
00:14:27.780 reaching an all-time high
00:14:28.840 and reaching an all-time high.
00:14:30.400 Homicide rates are at all-time high.
00:14:31.680 The amount of guys
00:14:32.260 going up to schools
00:14:33.140 and you know what I'm saying?
00:14:34.400 Doing all that?
00:14:35.460 That's at an all-time high.
00:14:36.560 You read it.
00:14:36.920 We're so desensitized to it now.
00:14:38.660 How many school
00:14:39.540 blah, blah, blah
00:14:40.220 have you heard of this year?
00:14:41.440 It happens like
00:14:42.000 every other week.
00:14:42.860 And who is it
00:14:43.360 every single time?
00:14:44.000 It's men
00:14:44.400 who's deleting themselves
00:14:45.460 at this rate.
00:14:46.200 Men.
00:14:47.380 But they don't talk about it.
00:14:48.340 Apparently it's still
00:14:49.300 women are oppressed.
00:14:50.740 Women,
00:14:51.080 we need to give feminism
00:14:52.060 to women.
00:14:52.860 They are not oppressed.
00:14:54.120 It's us.
00:14:55.040 We're miserable.
00:14:56.300 Very clearly.
00:14:57.100 Why don't they talk about this?
00:14:58.760 Why aren't there protests for this?
00:15:00.140 You know what
00:15:00.440 they're protests about?
00:15:01.540 Slut walk.
00:15:02.520 Everybody go on a slut walk
00:15:03.880 and put feathers on your head.
00:15:05.380 Pride month.
00:15:06.340 Woohoo.
00:15:07.200 Yeah, you're a queen.
00:15:08.400 You're a queen.
00:15:09.060 But nobody talks about this
00:15:10.900 in recent years.
00:15:12.280 Because men lack
00:15:13.100 the social connection
00:15:13.900 and purpose
00:15:14.440 that necessitates
00:15:15.500 a happy life.
00:15:16.680 Okay, so then
00:15:17.300 how can this be fixed?
00:15:18.620 What's the solution
00:15:19.340 to this deep-rooted problem?
00:15:20.700 Well, this is what
00:15:21.260 Fight Club seeks to work out.
00:15:22.920 After the narrator comes back
00:15:24.000 to find all his possessions
00:15:25.020 burned to the ground,
00:15:25.880 his male transformation
00:15:26.980 begins.
00:15:28.020 So in a last-ditch effort
00:15:29.000 for redemption,
00:15:29.820 the narrator calls Tyler
00:15:30.860 where they discuss
00:15:31.680 his possessions
00:15:32.220 and identity being destroyed.
00:15:33.840 As he rants about
00:15:34.580 his possessions being destroyed,
00:15:36.100 Tyler reminds him
00:15:36.700 how destructive
00:15:37.380 this consumer mindset
00:15:38.360 really is.
00:15:39.220 He talks about
00:15:39.740 how this makes men weak,
00:15:41.100 detaching us
00:15:41.880 from our hunter-gatherer instincts.
00:15:43.460 That's what we naturally are.
00:15:45.180 Our hunter-gatherer instincts.
00:15:46.520 If you watch all those
00:15:47.100 four movies,
00:15:47.960 Fight Club,
00:15:48.640 The Matrix,
00:15:49.580 Office Space,
00:15:50.720 and American Beauty,
00:15:52.020 you know what all the men do
00:15:53.200 to find their happiness?
00:15:54.340 Like, from their
00:15:54.780 miserable marriages,
00:15:55.900 their miserable
00:15:56.440 nine-to-five lives,
00:15:57.660 their boring,
00:15:58.300 a sedated lifestyle,
00:15:59.780 what they do is
00:16:00.500 they take their
00:16:01.000 masculinity back.
00:16:02.060 And what that is
00:16:02.820 is hunter-gatherer shit.
00:16:04.460 Part of this animal stuff
00:16:05.620 that we're tapped into.
00:16:07.800 In American Beauty,
00:16:08.840 he starts lifting weights,
00:16:10.180 smoking weed,
00:16:11.120 doing what he wants,
00:16:11.960 he quits his job,
00:16:13.120 starts fucking bitches
00:16:14.020 and getting strong.
00:16:15.540 Brad Pitt,
00:16:16.100 same thing.
00:16:16.960 Starts a fight club,
00:16:18.220 starts beating the shit
00:16:18.900 out of people.
00:16:20.240 Office Space,
00:16:20.880 what did he do?
00:16:21.400 He quits his job
00:16:22.100 and becomes a construction worker.
00:16:23.380 He's happy being outside
00:16:24.780 breaking rocks,
00:16:25.800 something natural to men.
00:16:27.240 The Matrix,
00:16:28.020 he literally quits
00:16:28.880 like he's in an office all day
00:16:30.340 and then he just sees
00:16:31.420 the whole world
00:16:31.960 for what it is.
00:16:33.360 Taking our masculinity back
00:16:34.800 is tapping into
00:16:35.920 what they call
00:16:36.760 toxic and problematic
00:16:37.860 and incel.
00:16:38.840 So what you naturally need
00:16:40.060 to be happy,
00:16:41.080 they say it's toxic
00:16:41.940 and they cancel you for it.
00:16:43.320 Wake up.
00:16:44.560 We are byproducts
00:16:45.760 of a lifestyle obsession.
00:16:47.940 Tyler describes this
00:16:48.720 as being one of his main
00:16:49.620 concerns with society,
00:16:50.900 his concerns on crime,
00:16:52.100 war or poverty.
00:16:53.100 It's celebrity magazines,
00:16:54.580 televisions with 500 channels,
00:16:56.200 Viagra, Xanax.
00:16:57.280 Tyler describes
00:16:57.960 all these comforts
00:16:58.960 as just being coping mechanisms
00:17:00.400 for living in such
00:17:01.260 an unnatural world.
00:17:02.580 To revert back
00:17:03.260 to what is truly felt,
00:17:04.760 Tyler asks the narrator
00:17:05.700 to punch him.
00:17:06.600 He wants to feel something.
00:17:07.820 He wants to be taken back
00:17:08.840 into the now,
00:17:09.420 the present,
00:17:09.920 and feel a swell
00:17:10.840 in his masculine energy.
00:17:12.140 And so they begin
00:17:12.880 to beat each other
00:17:13.600 hand to hand.
00:17:14.480 After the fight,
00:17:15.140 they feel so happy afterwards.
00:17:16.800 Somebody said the movie
00:17:17.420 American Psycho 2.
00:17:18.680 American Psycho's
00:17:19.460 Christian Bale
00:17:20.020 and he becomes a serial killer
00:17:21.140 because he's working in,
00:17:22.860 he's a Wall Street guy
00:17:23.820 who has all this money,
00:17:24.880 all this excess
00:17:25.580 and does nothing.
00:17:26.560 He's on phone calls
00:17:27.220 all day,
00:17:27.540 wears a suit
00:17:27.940 and just puts his feet up,
00:17:29.240 gets drunk,
00:17:30.000 does coke
00:17:30.520 and he pretends
00:17:31.300 like he's this really
00:17:31.920 sophisticated good person
00:17:32.920 because he's in a top office
00:17:34.120 but really,
00:17:34.920 he's an asshole
00:17:35.620 piece of shit
00:17:36.340 and he goes crazy
00:17:37.420 and insane.
00:17:38.320 Why?
00:17:38.580 It's not really his fault.
00:17:39.760 The system makes you insane.
00:17:41.560 All this excess,
00:17:42.440 all this power
00:17:43.060 is something that people
00:17:44.060 are not designed to do.
00:17:45.300 We're designed to connect
00:17:46.240 with people,
00:17:46.880 to share things,
00:17:47.900 to be good.
00:17:49.340 But when you have
00:17:49.800 that much power
00:17:50.460 and all this money
00:17:51.100 and you're not doing anything,
00:17:52.180 you become corrupted,
00:17:53.260 you become insane
00:17:54.000 and that's when you start
00:17:54.900 random people in the street.
00:17:56.820 They go back to Tyler's house
00:17:58.180 which is a run-down
00:17:59.020 abandoned disgusting house
00:18:00.620 with boarded up windows,
00:18:01.880 leaking pipes
00:18:02.580 and infested with moss
00:18:04.040 all to destroy
00:18:04.900 the narrator's addiction
00:18:05.840 to comfort.
00:18:06.800 And within a month,
00:18:07.880 the narrator no longer
00:18:09.660 misses TV.
00:18:10.600 He doesn't miss his possessions,
00:18:11.880 he enjoys the discomfort.
00:18:13.440 He's confident
00:18:14.060 and aggressive
00:18:14.780 and other men
00:18:15.640 become allured
00:18:16.220 by his life.
00:18:17.140 They gather by the dozens
00:18:18.080 to fight with each other,
00:18:19.220 all of them wanting
00:18:19.820 to fill their untapped
00:18:21.240 masculine energy.
00:18:22.280 This pattern
00:18:22.760 only continues to grow.
00:18:24.300 All these men
00:18:24.880 who are fed up
00:18:25.480 with being weak losers,
00:18:26.880 these men
00:18:27.280 who have lost their way
00:18:28.200 who feel resentful
00:18:29.120 at the world around them,
00:18:30.100 leading to the formation
00:18:31.000 of an underground group
00:18:32.060 known as Fight Club,
00:18:33.280 a club dedicated
00:18:34.120 to rejecting
00:18:34.640 what they claim
00:18:35.200 to be feminine
00:18:35.840 conformist indoctrination.
00:18:37.500 And they gotta do it
00:18:38.160 in secret
00:18:38.600 because everybody
00:18:39.240 would call him
00:18:39.720 a toxic problematic
00:18:40.580 incel in real life.
00:18:41.600 And it's around this time
00:18:42.420 that the narrator
00:18:42.860 starts to be perceived differently.
00:18:44.440 He's now seen
00:18:45.100 as an individual.
00:18:46.180 In fact,
00:18:46.600 all of the people
00:18:47.180 at Fight Club
00:18:47.620 now stand out
00:18:48.300 from the rest.
00:18:49.220 They aren't just
00:18:49.720 carbon copies anymore.
00:18:51.100 They are battered,
00:18:51.820 they dress
00:18:52.240 and act differently.
00:18:53.260 These aren't the same men.
00:18:54.440 But they start to get
00:18:55.140 some life back
00:18:55.800 in their face.
00:18:56.560 Look at how more
00:18:57.300 alive he looks
00:18:58.320 based on
00:18:58.840 the beginning of the movie.
00:19:00.180 With this rejuvenation
00:19:01.080 of the masculine
00:19:01.660 and rejection
00:19:02.300 of the mundane conformity,
00:19:03.740 the narrator becomes hungry.
00:19:05.100 He becomes hypersexual.
00:19:06.460 He smokes in his office.
00:19:07.540 He looks at the disgust
00:19:08.420 at the drones
00:19:08.880 surrounding him.
00:19:09.600 The comfort,
00:19:10.240 the passive aggressiveness
00:19:11.320 and mundanity.
00:19:12.260 He sacrifices all of this
00:19:13.600 to revel in the discomfort.
00:19:15.240 You give up the condo life,
00:19:17.080 give up all your
00:19:17.800 flaming worldly possessions.
00:19:19.580 This idea of sacrifice
00:19:20.660 and comfort
00:19:21.180 becomes central
00:19:21.960 to the ethos
00:19:22.700 of Fight Club.
00:19:23.340 To join Fight Club,
00:19:24.380 you have no choice
00:19:25.280 but to fight.
00:19:25.940 And then if you look
00:19:26.840 at the movies
00:19:27.260 that are about females,
00:19:28.120 it's so different.
00:19:29.160 The movies about men
00:19:30.400 are always tapping
00:19:31.160 into something
00:19:31.600 that's actually going on,
00:19:32.500 something spiritual.
00:19:33.440 The movies about women,
00:19:34.320 what are they?
00:19:35.080 Female Ghostbusters?
00:19:36.940 Fantasy shit.
00:19:38.540 Queen's Gambit?
00:19:39.540 Just making up girls,
00:19:40.800 giving them positions of power
00:19:41.820 because yeah,
00:19:42.480 we're powerful.
00:19:43.720 Yeah,
00:19:44.100 it's all fantasy.
00:19:46.120 Female Ghostbusters,
00:19:47.200 let's make a female,
00:19:48.420 whatever the fuck,
00:19:49.240 just versions of men movies
00:19:50.480 and they just put women
00:19:51.540 in the same position.
00:19:52.720 Queen's Gambit?
00:19:53.540 There's no female
00:19:54.380 chess grandmaster.
00:19:55.980 It's all made up.
00:19:56.940 They're doing that
00:19:57.520 to encourage you.
00:19:58.340 Yeah,
00:19:58.560 we can do the same thing
00:19:59.480 that men do.
00:20:00.380 That's what female movies are.
00:20:01.860 Male movies are about misery.
00:20:04.080 Comfort is consumerism
00:20:05.420 and Fight Club seeks
00:20:06.340 to kill both of these things.
00:20:08.740 Because to these men,
00:20:09.800 comfort is what made men
00:20:10.940 so weak.
00:20:11.860 And one of the biggest
00:20:12.620 causes of comfort
00:20:13.420 is the narrator's
00:20:14.340 nine to five job.
00:20:15.320 So to move away
00:20:16.020 from this cushy,
00:20:16.760 sterile office life,
00:20:17.700 the narrator and Tyler
00:20:18.360 begin to make soap.
00:20:19.400 Why soap?
00:20:20.240 Well,
00:20:20.660 this becomes clearer later on.
00:20:22.120 But for now,
00:20:22.660 the two-rated liposuction clinic
00:20:24.100 for human fat
00:20:24.820 to make soap.
00:20:25.540 And during this process,
00:20:26.620 Tyler pours the lie
00:20:27.320 onto the narrator's hand
00:20:28.200 as an initiation.
00:20:29.460 How much comfort
00:20:30.280 is he willing to sacrifice
00:20:31.420 for his future self?
00:20:32.700 As Tyler tells him,
00:20:33.800 without pain or sacrifice,
00:20:35.320 we would have nothing.
00:20:36.480 And once you have nothing,
00:20:37.680 you can do anything.
00:20:38.980 Meaning the narrator
00:20:39.520 has to accept this pain,
00:20:40.680 the suffering,
00:20:41.280 before Tyler can give him
00:20:42.300 the vinegar to neutralize it.
00:20:43.840 And eventually,
00:20:44.520 after accepting the pain,
00:20:45.660 they begin selling the soap
00:20:46.780 at high-end fashion stores.
00:20:47.980 Selling rich women
00:20:48.840 their asses back to them.
00:20:50.100 By now,
00:20:50.420 it's become clear
00:20:51.140 that the narrator
00:20:51.800 has fully transformed.
00:20:53.240 For example,
00:20:53.760 later at work,
00:20:54.560 the narrator threatens his boss
00:20:55.880 after he finds a printout
00:20:57.000 of the rules of Fight Club.
00:20:58.220 The first rule of Fight Club
00:20:59.680 is you don't talk about Fight Club.
00:21:01.420 Because he no longer fears his boss,
00:21:03.080 he's now in charge.
00:21:04.280 He's consciously moved above his boss.
00:21:06.180 But it's not only the narrator
00:21:07.140 who's going on this masculine journey.
00:21:08.580 The narrator is now forming
00:21:09.520 deep connections
00:21:10.180 with the people around him.
00:21:11.360 And the people around him
00:21:12.240 now adore the narrator.
00:21:13.480 With Bob telling the narrator
00:21:14.380 how great a man he is,
00:21:15.640 it's very clear
00:21:16.480 that Fight Club
00:21:17.080 is tapping into something
00:21:18.240 repressed in these men.
00:21:19.500 And this shared resentment
00:21:20.480 and repression
00:21:21.180 of the masculine
00:21:21.860 becomes political.
00:21:22.880 Look at that,
00:21:23.340 that guy's alive!
00:21:24.720 Even with his big-ass
00:21:25.860 fucking
00:21:26.340 testicular cancer
00:21:27.940 fucking titties
00:21:28.800 shit lactating
00:21:29.860 out of his shirt.
00:21:30.800 Look at that!
00:21:31.600 RAAAAAAA!
00:21:32.180 The masculine inside
00:21:35.220 that they're trying to suppress.
00:21:37.280 And you know where they find it?
00:21:38.440 In secret in a basement.
00:21:40.180 Because society
00:21:40.980 does not want you to wake up.
00:21:43.080 They don't want you to be powerful.
00:21:44.920 They don't want you to be this.
00:21:46.420 But look how alive he is
00:21:47.800 based on
00:21:48.440 The support group is encouraged.
00:21:52.740 They want you to be doing
00:21:53.680 self-improvement bullshit.
00:21:55.640 They don't want you to be doing this.
00:21:57.380 Cool.
00:21:57.620 We're in the words of Tyler Durden,
00:21:58.960 an entire generation of people
00:22:00.560 pumping gas,
00:22:01.380 waiting tables,
00:22:02.160 slaves with white collars,
00:22:03.220 chasing cars and clothes,
00:22:04.460 working jobs we hate
00:22:05.440 so we can buy
00:22:05.960 shit we don't need.
00:22:07.040 With no purpose or place,
00:22:08.300 the group decides
00:22:08.940 that men from everywhere
00:22:09.980 need to become uncomfortable,
00:22:11.360 to be pushed away
00:22:12.140 from the modern platitudes
00:22:13.320 and back to their
00:22:13.960 primal, raw, hungry selves.
00:22:15.940 To do this,
00:22:16.540 each member is assigned homework,
00:22:18.040 like starting a fight
00:22:18.860 with a random person,
00:22:19.940 an assignment that causes
00:22:20.840 the narrator to lose his job.
00:22:22.280 And then there's other activities,
00:22:23.560 such as smashing up
00:22:24.340 people's television satellites,
00:22:25.900 destroying Apple computers.
00:22:27.060 So this is where it gets
00:22:28.000 us some white shit
00:22:28.780 and then I think
00:22:29.880 when it's only white people
00:22:31.120 in a club,
00:22:31.620 they start losing direction.
00:22:33.220 You can kind of get that
00:22:33.960 in American Psycho
00:22:34.900 and in Joker.
00:22:35.920 It's like,
00:22:36.320 the revolution shouldn't
00:22:37.240 just be destruction.
00:22:38.860 To me,
00:22:40.420 Project Mayhem in this movie
00:22:41.720 is the same thing
00:22:42.400 as a white kid,
00:22:43.320 like,
00:22:43.500 yes,
00:22:43.880 I'm gonna go
00:22:44.560 and he live streams himself
00:22:45.900 going up to a school
00:22:46.780 and blah, blah.
00:22:47.860 That's the same thing.
00:22:48.800 You're not doing anything.
00:22:49.840 You're just causing
00:22:50.480 more negativity.
00:22:51.740 We need to bring
00:22:52.240 positivity back.
00:22:53.540 There's nothing positive
00:22:54.580 that comes from
00:22:55.120 blowing up buildings.
00:22:55.860 No offense to white people,
00:23:00.160 but that's what y'all do
00:23:00.900 when you, like,
00:23:01.500 wake up,
00:23:02.240 you go crazy
00:23:02.860 and then just start destruction.
00:23:04.240 No.
00:23:04.980 No.
00:23:05.580 This is why, like,
00:23:06.380 now the movement
00:23:06.960 needs to be all racist.
00:23:08.120 It needs to be
00:23:08.700 everybody,
00:23:09.700 inclusive.
00:23:10.460 If you think about it,
00:23:11.080 Fight Club,
00:23:11.580 if you watch the movie,
00:23:12.380 it's all white people.
00:23:13.340 I mean,
00:23:13.580 let's be honest.
00:23:14.020 At this point in the story,
00:23:15.720 the narrator and Tyler
00:23:16.580 are inching closer
00:23:17.700 towards their master plan.
00:23:19.000 Okay,
00:23:19.320 but for everyone else
00:23:20.080 in the real world,
00:23:21.060 this same boiled up repression
00:23:22.300 is being seen
00:23:22.980 in another way.
00:23:23.820 We're now seeing
00:23:24.340 big changes in society.
00:23:25.760 There are movements
00:23:26.200 called men going their own way.
00:23:27.700 We see these men
00:23:28.480 called black pillars online
00:23:29.740 who blame everyone
00:23:30.560 but themselves
00:23:31.140 for their own awful lives.
00:23:32.580 We see mass depression
00:23:33.560 and male suicides
00:23:34.460 skyrocketing.
00:23:35.480 It's clear that the issue
00:23:36.500 addressed in Fight Club
00:23:37.480 is certainly real
00:23:38.560 and it's why
00:23:39.140 after two decades,
00:23:40.260 men still feel so connected
00:23:41.540 to this movie.
00:23:42.200 Okay,
00:23:42.740 but what's actually causing this?
00:23:44.360 I mean,
00:23:44.620 never in history
00:23:45.240 have we seen
00:23:45.800 such a decline in masculinity.
00:23:47.620 Well,
00:23:47.760 this brings us on
00:23:48.480 to our second point
00:23:49.320 for male weakness.
00:23:50.540 Right now,
00:23:51.140 we are the first generation
00:23:52.400 of losers.
00:23:53.340 I'm sure we all remember
00:23:54.400 that Try Guys video.
00:23:55.600 Ah!
00:23:57.140 Soy boys,
00:23:58.140 look at these fuck.
00:23:59.280 This is what they promote.
00:24:00.840 Pussy ass feminine men.
00:24:02.480 All of them are bisexual here.
00:24:04.140 No offense,
00:24:05.060 but like,
00:24:05.400 come on guys.
00:24:06.420 Oh,
00:24:06.600 you're sucking dick.
00:24:07.780 That's what they want to promote.
00:24:09.040 He's like,
00:24:09.540 yeah,
00:24:09.860 let's all try on makeup and shit.
00:24:11.580 Ah,
00:24:11.860 gross.
00:24:12.560 Assam,
00:24:12.840 thanks to the 20.
00:24:13.300 I made a two minute video
00:24:13.900 called Never Watch Fight Club.
00:24:15.220 I think I really like it.
00:24:16.160 I love to see your reaction.
00:24:16.960 Ah,
00:24:17.180 shut up.
00:24:17.880 Well,
00:24:18.020 they measured their testosterone
00:24:19.100 and it was so low
00:24:20.420 that it was below the average
00:24:21.720 for an 85 to 100 year old man.
00:24:24.500 Disgusting.
00:24:25.440 Take your balls back.
00:24:26.660 But this video really wasn't
00:24:27.860 as funny as it first seemed.
00:24:29.420 The average testosterone
00:24:30.300 used to be over
00:24:30.980 1,000 nanograms per deciliter.
00:24:33.300 Now,
00:24:33.640 the average for men
00:24:34.400 is usually around
00:24:35.160 300 to 700 nanograms
00:24:37.520 per deciliter.
00:24:38.420 But the range
00:24:38.920 has become so wide
00:24:39.960 and so blurred
00:24:40.820 that the Try Guys
00:24:41.640 testosterone levels
00:24:42.600 was considered healthy.
00:24:44.200 Which tells you a lot
00:24:44.960 about modern society.
00:24:46.060 They want to take away
00:24:47.060 your balls!
00:24:48.660 Take your balls back!
00:24:49.840 Don't let them neuter you!
00:24:51.020 When men have the testosterone
00:24:52.020 of 100 year old men.
00:24:53.880 Because what are the results
00:24:54.960 of this?
00:24:55.420 While low testosterone
00:24:56.440 men face a lot more depression,
00:25:01.700 fatigue,
00:25:02.280 low confidence,
00:25:03.020 lower sex drive,
00:25:04.420 and ambition.
00:25:05.220 Which has an eerie correspondence
00:25:06.460 to the growing mental health epidemic
00:25:07.980 we're wallowing in.
00:25:09.080 On the other hand,
00:25:09.960 high testosterone men
00:25:10.920 are aggressive,
00:25:11.820 have increased muscle mass,
00:25:13.280 increased facial hair,
00:25:14.380 with a higher sex drive,
00:25:14.980 everybody 10 pushups right now!
00:25:16.520 Everybody 10 pushups right now!
00:25:18.240 Woo!
00:25:19.260 Alright, chill out,
00:25:19.860 chill out,
00:25:20.080 chill out.
00:25:20.300 I'm doing too much.
00:25:21.580 Sexual drive
00:25:22.440 and more motivation.
00:25:23.720 Which is why in the past,
00:25:24.840 men acted like men.
00:25:26.200 They faced discomfort
00:25:27.100 and came together
00:25:27.900 through unthinkable struggle.
00:25:29.860 War.
00:25:31.180 Economic collapse.
00:25:32.740 Poverty.
00:25:34.020 Plagues.
00:25:34.420 By 21,
00:25:36.120 Alexander the Great
00:25:36.920 had conquered most of Europe
00:25:38.180 and was expanding into Asia.
00:25:39.860 And I mean,
00:25:40.260 just talk to your parents
00:25:41.080 or grandparents
00:25:41.720 who had houses in their 20s,
00:25:43.320 raising children,
00:25:44.160 working in mines,
00:25:44.940 starting businesses.
00:25:46.240 We did manual labor,
00:25:47.420 we dug into the earth,
00:25:48.580 we sweated it out every day,
00:25:50.360 rain and shine.
00:25:51.220 Now,
00:25:51.640 huge chunks of men
00:25:52.600 are spineless whims.
00:25:54.220 I'm not-
00:25:54.580 SPINELESS WHIPS!
00:25:55.820 WAKE UP!
00:25:58.820 Yeah!
00:26:00.060 Yeah!
00:26:01.460 Yeah!
00:26:02.700 Something!
00:26:03.700 Okay, okay, okay,
00:26:04.420 take your meds,
00:26:05.400 calm down!
00:26:06.020 Alright, my bad, my bad.
00:26:06.840 I'm trying to sound macho
00:26:07.640 saying this,
00:26:08.300 but it's a blunt reality.
00:26:09.600 Men are being drowned
00:26:10.320 in estrogen-laced products.
00:26:12.000 High estrogen causes-
00:26:13.080 Look at that shit!
00:26:14.680 Look at that!
00:26:15.800 That's woke!
00:26:16.980 That's what they want you to do!
00:26:18.280 Everybody,
00:26:18.720 10 push-ups right now!
00:26:19.740 10 push-ups right now!
00:26:20.860 Come on, bro!
00:26:21.660 10 push-ups right now!
00:26:22.560 Fuck that shit!
00:26:23.500 Woo!
00:26:24.180 Yeah!
00:26:24.700 Yeah!
00:26:25.300 Yeah!
00:26:25.800 Yeah!
00:26:26.440 Yeah!
00:26:27.500 Yeah!
00:26:27.900 Yeah!
00:26:28.060 Yeah!
00:26:28.700 Yeah!
00:26:29.980 Oh, oh, oh, oh!
00:26:32.260 Okay.
00:26:34.320 Okay.
00:26:39.360 Men to take on feminine traits,
00:26:41.100 they become less assertive with low energy,
00:26:43.080 their genitals shrink,
00:26:44.300 and voices get higher.
00:26:45.540 And then compounded by this
00:26:46.620 is our testosterone-killing lifestyle.
00:26:48.640 I mean,
00:26:48.860 it's now normal for the modern diet
00:26:50.340 to consist of BPA plastic,
00:26:52.160 sugar,
00:26:52.720 alcohol,
00:26:53.240 and a sedentary lifestyle.
00:26:54.780 Beer bellies and weakness
00:26:55.760 are the new norm for men.
00:26:57.040 And it's why we're losing an entire generation of men to comfort.
00:27:00.480 The average man is overstimulated beyond belief.
00:27:03.120 A cuss-
00:27:03.680 STOP WATCHING PRIME!
00:27:04.720 To scrolling on apps on autopilots.
00:27:06.800 Living vicariously through other people's stories.
00:27:09.040 Whether it be through sports, videos-
00:27:10.720 STOP WORSHIPPING THESE FUCKING SELF-HELP PEOPLE!
00:27:13.600 STOP WORSHIPPING PEOPLE ONLINE!
00:27:15.120 They don't know better than you!
00:27:16.400 Don't live vicariously through your videos!
00:27:18.400 Stop worshipping these people!
00:27:19.920 Don't worship me!
00:27:20.880 I'm a fucking idiot!
00:27:22.000 I'm just-
00:27:23.200 I'm unhinged!
00:27:24.000 I'm crazy!
00:27:25.040 Alright, I need to take my meds, alright?
00:27:26.480 I'm stupid!
00:27:27.040 I need to calm down!
00:27:28.160 Don't worship me!
00:27:29.120 I don't know better!
00:27:30.000 I'm just trying to tell you the truth!
00:27:31.520 That's it!
00:27:32.320 Wake up!
00:27:33.040 That's it!
00:27:33.680 Don't worship me!
00:27:34.640 I don't give a fuck about none of that!
00:27:37.680 ...games and social media called adult content and OnlyFans.
00:27:40.880 Where you imagine you're the guy that's winning.
00:27:42.960 All while sitting in your bed on your own doing nothing with your life.
00:27:46.640 Added on to this is the millions of six-figure professionals
00:27:49.360 who spend their lives making you weak.
00:27:51.440 Manipulating you through social media, food,
00:27:53.440 and all the other endless comforts.
00:27:55.120 Billion-dollar companies using advanced AI to make you passive,
00:27:58.560 comfortable low testosterone mules.
00:28:00.320 Pussies!
00:28:01.520 Come on, shit!
00:28:03.120 Come on!
00:28:04.080 Something!
00:28:05.120 Take your balls back, bitch!
00:28:08.000 Split testing to keep you mired in an endless loop of distractions.
00:28:12.160 Creating a generation a week, pleasure-seeking droogs,
00:28:15.280 whose lives consist of waking up, scrolling on social media, and busting a nut.
00:28:19.280 Ewww!
00:28:21.200 The first thing you do is go on OnlyFans and scroll on Instagram and look at titties?
00:28:25.360 What?!
00:28:26.160 These hoes don't deserve our energy, chat!
00:28:29.040 They don't need it!
00:28:30.240 They do need it!
00:28:31.200 We need it more!
00:28:32.240 Don't go to school and start blah blah blah, people!
00:28:38.880 Just something else!
00:28:41.120 Let's get this money, chat!
00:28:42.800 Let's get this money!
00:28:43.760 Let's live life!
00:28:44.480 Let's have fun!
00:28:45.440 Damn!
00:28:51.040 That's why they think I'm crazy!
00:28:52.640 I still got my balls attached!
00:28:55.440 Entire countries are becoming weaker as we become lazy, instant, pleasure-seeking men.
00:29:00.080 There is no need to be strong anymore.
00:29:01.920 All these comforts and distractions make life easier.
00:29:04.480 And an easy life breeds...
00:29:06.160 Look at him!
00:29:07.840 Look at him!
00:29:11.760 A poor...
00:29:13.040 Weakness.
00:29:13.760 Comfort kills creativity.
00:29:15.200 And with this, men are becoming insults at a frightening rate.
00:29:18.000 Because by detaching themselves from their masculinity and through being accustomed to comfort,
00:29:22.080 they have no will to struggle or to strive for more.
00:29:24.320 Men are losing that will to succeed, to be better, to improve.
00:29:27.680 And when this weakness is normalized...
00:29:29.200 I'm still scared of your shit.
00:29:37.440 When men around you are docile, lethargic and apathetic, you accept being weak.
00:29:41.920 You lower your standards for yourself and those around you.
00:29:44.560 And this really is how civilizations collapse.
00:29:47.520 Now in Fight Club, this collapse is seen through the radicalization of these men,
00:29:50.800 who are forming stronger bonds and stronger dedication to Fight Club.
00:29:53.840 Highlighted with the membership initiation, where those who want to work in the top circle of Fight Club
00:29:58.000 must go through grueling discomfort, standing outside for three days with no food, water or shelter.
00:30:03.120 You gotta be uncomfortable. It's not easy.
00:30:06.240 You gonna take the easy route, you know what you gonna say?
00:30:08.560 I'm lazy. I'm just lazy.
00:30:11.360 I think I'm depressed. I think I'm ADHD. I think I'm anxious. I think I'm that, that, that.
00:30:18.480 I'ma do it tomorrow.
00:30:19.600 It's gonna be hard. It's gonna be hard. It's not easy to wake the fuck up. But try to.
00:30:26.560 What you wanna do? You wanna be a fucking boo?
00:30:31.040 I'm gonna take my pills and be a good boy. Yes, government. Whatever you want me to do.
00:30:36.320 I'll take another one. I'll take another mask. I'll put five on if you tell me.
00:30:41.680 Wake up, please. Holy shit, bro. It's coming back. They just did a trial for the past two years.
00:30:47.760 It's going to come back stronger. Trust me. If you don't believe me,
00:30:51.760 get out of my stream and go watch some fucking prom.
00:30:54.720 Where they are repeatedly threatened and told they're not wanted.
00:30:57.440 The test is designed to filter out the weak and those who can delay their gratification.
00:31:01.520 Once initiated, these men must shave their hair, wear the same clothes and remove their names.
00:31:05.680 Ostensibly to reject consumerism, but really to crush any individuality and make these men
00:31:10.240 conform to the group. These men are then reduced to hard, manual labor. All while being repeatedly
00:31:15.120 told, they're not special. They're not individual. And it doesn't take long for the consequences to
00:31:19.360 unfold. Later in the evening, the news reports on the destructive acts of anti-capitalist arson and
00:31:23.920 vandalism. Because Fight Club is no- That's some- Alright, angle live chat, angle live chat.
00:31:29.040 That's some white people shit. And like, fucking causing destruction. Look at- look at Jared Leto's
00:31:32.880 bot face, bro. These people- no. This is not what we need to do. This is the same shit as a guy going to a
00:31:38.720 school, emptying the clip. Same shit. What are you doing with your masculinity? People start waking
00:31:42.960 up, they get their balls back, and then you go to a school with an AR? What are you doing? What are
00:31:46.240 you doing? Spread love or whatever the fuck, bro. Just go to the gym, wake up, fuck some hoes, get
00:31:51.200 money, live life. Get a nice car, get a nice crib, get 10 bad bitches in your kitchen. That's how you can
00:31:57.040 get your balls back. Not, I hate society. That's what- I don't know, like, fucking Joker in those movies.
00:32:02.720 That's what they show. American Psycho, it's always a white dude who gets his balls back, and then he ends up
00:32:06.880 just causing- ah! Look at him, look at him, causing mass destruction. Ah! No! What? What? What? What?
00:32:12.800 Stop. It's longer about managing men's repression in modern society. It's not- Angle Live Chat! What race,
00:32:18.160 not to- just- but what race goes to a school and live streams himself with an AR? Let's be honest,
00:32:23.760 let's be honest. You know what race it is. That's not what we need to do. That's not what we need to do.
00:32:29.200 You're not alone. If you're thinking about doing that, what are you doing? What are you doing? What are you
00:32:32.800 doing? You want to get 10 bad bitches in your kitchen, man? You want a nice fast car. You want
00:32:37.440 to be able to fly anywhere. You don't want the government to control you. Get out of that.
00:32:41.600 You know why they do that? Because they want people's approval so bad. I'm gonna show these
00:32:45.040 people. Shut the fuck up, pussy. That's some pussy shit. What are you doing?
00:32:48.640 Now about seeking vengeance on the cause of their repression. And the pressure is building. This is
00:32:53.360 seen in a car ride home, where the narrator talks with Tyler about Project Mayhem and the destruction
00:32:57.280 they are causing. And Tyler admits he was the one who blew up the narrator's condo. He did this
00:33:01.280 because when the narrator had nothing, he could become anything. It was the comforts that were
00:33:05.520 pulling him back from his potential. So to go back to the feeling of zero and freeing his mind,
00:33:09.760 Tyler decides to crash the car. And when the narrator wakes up from the crash,
00:33:14.880 he walks into an assembly line of men building soap and plotting their vengeance.
00:33:18.720 Team Dizzy Vengeance. It's wrong place. You're focusing on the wrong place, white people.
00:33:24.480 Just leave. It's not your fault. It's not your fault. But come on.
00:33:27.360 There's a man working tirelessly to get back at the society that rejected them. But this need
00:33:31.120 for vengeance begins to take a much more sinister turn. After a failed assignment to destroy
00:33:35.520 corporate art, the Fight Club members reveal that Bob was shot in the head. It's becoming
00:33:39.600 clear that this need for vengeance is going way too far. And with all the madness building up around
00:33:43.520 the narrator, he goes around America to find Tyler. And this is when he realizes the scope of the
00:33:48.080 Fight Club movement. All the men around the country are united by the repression. It's only in
00:33:52.640 his search for Tyler does the narrator realize he is Tyler. Tyler is his masculine projection.
00:33:57.440 Tyler is the part of him that has been repressed all these years as a wage slave. Tyler was the
00:34:02.720 only way he could live the life he wished for. The person he needed to pretend to be. To get where
00:34:07.200 he wanted to be. Every step within this film is Tyler's journey into becoming the man he'd always
00:34:11.520 repressed inside of himself. And after realizing this, Tyler goes back to the house only to understand
00:34:15.840 that all the soap making was for bomb making. It's now very clear what Fight Club is.
00:34:19.760 Do you want to know what Sneeko is? That's the same thing. It's my Tyler Durden. That's not my real
00:34:25.040 name. My real name is Hubert. But I was in school. Nobody paid attention to me. Nobody cared. Nobody
00:34:29.600 listened to me. So I went online with this alter ego of Sneeko and I turned the fuck up. That's my
00:34:34.560 Tyler Durden. My balls back. It's the same shit.
00:34:37.520 It's what Project Mayhem is. It's a therapeutic release for Tyler to deal with his deep-seated emotional issues.
00:34:43.360 After understanding this, Tyler goes into an emotional breakdown as he no longer has any
00:34:47.440 identity. No one around him knows his true self, and he doesn't either. But before we get to the
00:34:51.760 end of the story. And don't say L white people because we need them, bro, we don't leave them
00:34:56.560 aside. We're not trying to be racist or something. They're just, their minds are in the wrong place
00:35:01.040 for this control. Like it's, don't say that. Don't say L white people, bro. We want them to be,
00:35:05.040 to feel better. We first need to understand the- You feel me?
00:35:07.840 You feel me?
00:35:12.640 Third and most important reason for all this male weakness, and that is the subversion of values and
00:35:17.520 virtues. On a massive scale, we have seen our values being subverted. We see relentless hedonism
00:35:22.720 being praised and rewarded as empowering. We see the family unit being desecrated. We are told that
00:35:27.760 ownership and freedom are bad. That we won't own anything. That we shouldn't be free to say what we
00:35:32.240 believe or act as we choose. We are always told to be the better person and never show aggression.
00:35:37.040 When men are bullied, we are told- The better person. Be mature. You need to be- I don't remember
00:35:42.640 being like you, but you need to be mature and take your pills and shut up and sit still and type
00:35:47.840 some stuff all day. I'm okay, cause I'm mature, I'm obedient. You need to grow up, you incel.
00:35:53.360 That's what they say. That being a good person is being a fucking bot. Ew.
00:35:57.840 Or not to defend ourselves. Even though we- Stop making fun of my name, chat.
00:36:01.920 Hubert's a good name. Yeah, W Hubert. Sneeko's cooler. Shneeko even, like,
00:36:07.200 Shneeko's like, yeah, Shneeko. But Hubert my real name, man. That's not as cool as Sneeko.
00:36:11.680 We all know that you aren't the bigger person because you take it. We should reclaim that
00:36:15.360 aggression and push back. But instead, we perpetuate weakness by telling men that being
00:36:20.080 weak is a virtue. Only for men to then carry up this bottled rage for the rest of their life.
00:36:24.720 Looking for any scapegoat, video game, or pill to release their inner repression.
00:36:28.240 But when these values and virtues are subverted, when men no longer benefit from society anymore,
00:36:33.040 when the essential elements to a meaningful life are stripped from men,
00:36:39.280 when being a single, lonely loser with no money, no ownership, no meaningful relationships or
00:36:43.120 connections and no respect is the norm for men, society crumbles. And our me first generation,
00:36:48.400 we always want and expect more. We divorce from our lifelong partners for the hope of something
00:36:52.640 better. We look for the next item, the next gadget, the next dopamine hit, and an endless loop.
00:36:56.960 Because we are no longer attached to anything other than our need for more. Always chasing a dream
00:37:01.200 and never realizing it will always be the same. We self-hate our own society and nations,
00:37:05.120 we hate our leaders, we hate our culture and history. Our culture no longer seeks to uplift.
00:37:09.200 But to denigrate our population. But when you are binded by the same values and virtues, you want to
00:37:22.160 protect the society that you have. In fact, you will do everything to keep it. That's why you see
00:37:26.480 strong men like President Zelensky out on the streets defending a nation from authoritarianism.
00:37:42.800 a man in a country with virtue and aggression. And on the other hand, you-
00:37:46.480 uh, uh, what is that? What is that? Is that a man?
00:37:54.800 What happened to us? Look at you! Dude!
00:37:59.120 Do you see men in the West willing to give all of this-
00:38:03.600 IT'S OKAY TO BE WEAK! AHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHH! LOOK AT YOU! YOU GONNA LISTEN TO HIM? HER? THEY THING? WHAT?
00:38:16.480 BOMBOKA! COME ON!
00:38:18.240 It's a way when they are no longer attached to any values or virtues, giving away their society in the hopes
00:38:24.240 of something new. Which is exactly what Fight Club shows us. During the final scenes of the film,
00:38:28.480 Project Mayhem plans to bomb all the banks and credit card companies. So that they can erase
00:38:32.880 the debt record and everyone goes back to zero. Society restarts. And everyone senses this coming.
00:38:38.400 The police know about it. Waiters, cooks, bus drivers, everyone knows. And yet no one stands
00:38:42.880 to defend the system. No one wants to protect it. Because no man benefits from that system anymore.
00:38:47.760 They have no connection to it. Their lives, virtue and values have been subverted. So these men choose
00:38:52.320 to destroy it and begin anew. And in the final acts, this repression is finally released. All these men
00:38:57.120 who have been repressed. Who are addicted to comfort. I forgot about that movie. That's
00:39:00.240 actually a good thing. Being able to wipe all the dead and clear everything. Not a bad idea,
00:39:03.680 but I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna do it. To have no deeper connection. Who no longer see the
00:39:07.520 benefits of modern society. They come together to tear it down. Because when men are weak,
00:39:12.160 society falls. When men turn into repressed.
00:39:22.640 This is hell. This is the end of society right here man.
00:39:26.320 Oh my god!
00:39:26.880 Classic, apathetic consumers with no vir-
00:39:28.880 Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!
00:39:31.280 Fuck.
00:39:32.480 Virtual values with no masculinity. When these men are no longer embraced by the society,
00:39:37.280 They will burn down that society to feel its warmth.
00:40:07.280 Actually Chad, I got a shift to get ready to go.
00:40:11.800 Nah, we watch one video, fuck that.
00:40:13.360 We got 4K in here, fuck that.
00:40:14.360 I can watch one more video.
00:40:19.740 Yeah.
00:40:22.660 Watch out!
