SNEAKO - The Hidden Meaning in Fight Club

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, 1.00

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, 0.99

00:00:47.760 and he's there sobbing, putting his face in other man's tits. 0.99

00:00:50.780 They're trying to show all the limps, 0.99

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, 1.00

00:00:57.900 they don't even have their balls anymore. 1.00

00:01:00.240 It's sad, but that's what Fight Club is about. 0.98

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, 0.97

00:01:09.720 not giving a fuck, anti-government, anti-establishment, 0.98

00:01:13.000 and then there's like a revolution that goes on. 0.98

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 0.56

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 0.92

00:03:44.520 and beat the shit out of each other 0.99

00:03:45.580 to get their masculinity back. 0.90

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, 0.84

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. 0.97

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. 1.00

00:05:15.580 This guy's a bitch. 1.00

00:05:16.660 He lives alone, 1.00

00:05:17.560 doesn't get pussy, 1.00

00:05:18.600 and just like filling up his life 1.00

00:05:19.800 with a bunch of material is dumb shit. 1.00

00:05:22.240 Closets from Ikea. 1.00

00:05:23.240 He has all these magazines. 0.96

00:05:24.940 He's miserable, 0.98

00:05:25.940 and he doesn't realize it. 0.97

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, 0.97

00:05:31.600 whatever the fuck. 0.99

00:05:32.520 A boring slave matrix job. 0.99

00:05:35.300 Just absolutely nothing unique about him. 0.90

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 0.98

00:05:47.640 is masturbation. 0.99

00:05:48.560 That whole character 0.99

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. 1.00

00:06:32.960 They're getting rid of your balls. 1.00

00:06:34.660 They're domesticating you. 1.00

00:06:35.820 No more balls. 1.00

00:06:37.940 I'm sad. 1.00

00:06:39.220 And they literally grow tits. 0.98

00:06:40.960 And some of them 0.95

00:06:41.540 even start lactating. 1.00

00:06:42.620 You can see the fucking milk 1.00

00:06:43.880 coming out of the titties. 1.00

00:06:45.640 They're bitching men up. 1.00

00:06:47.680 It's not just about cancer. 0.82

00:06:49.600 A man whose hormones 0.99

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, 0.56

00:07:22.880 everybody here is miserable. 0.98

00:07:24.040 Look at all these men. 0.99

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 0.80

00:07:42.320 and see the bigger picture. 1.00

00:07:43.640 Take your balls back. 0.99

00:07:45.560 There's none of this connection 1.00

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 0.58

00:08:41.700 and soulless people 0.69

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 0.99

00:08:48.020 in the fucking self-help routine 1.00

00:08:49.940 because it's just a support group 1.00

00:08:51.360 for loser men. 1.00

00:08:52.600 Wake up. 0.99

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 0.99

00:09:13.780 of the narrator

00:09:14.340 in every way.

00:09:15.300 A man's man. 0.95

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 0.74

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, 1.00

00:11:20.780 reading these stupid magazines. 1.00

00:11:22.440 Like, 1.00

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. 0.54

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, 1.00

00:11:54.940 and salivating droog-like men, 0.99

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 0.92

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. 0.53

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 0.86

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 0.96

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 1.00

00:13:33.820 are so dumb 1.00

00:13:34.600 that they don't even 1.00

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 1.00

00:13:52.640 are just shaking ass 1.00

00:13:53.460 and twerking on the 0.99

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 1.00

00:14:01.800 dumb idiots 1.00

00:14:02.500 gassing them up 1.00

00:14:03.520 and they just

00:14:04.160 get all this power

00:14:06.140 and then they walk around 1.00

00:14:06.980 happy as fuck. 0.99

00:14:08.140 They're trying to give them 1.00

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 0.99

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. 0.97

00:14:50.740 Women, 1.00

00:14:51.080 we need to give feminism 1.00

00:14:52.060 to women.

00:14:52.860 They are not oppressed.

00:14:54.120 It's us. 0.84

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. 1.00

00:15:02.520 Everybody go on a slut walk 1.00

00:15:03.880 and put feathers on your head. 1.00

00:15:05.380 Pride month.

00:15:06.340 Woohoo.

00:15:07.200 Yeah, you're a queen. 1.00

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 0.99

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, 0.99

00:15:55.900 their miserable

00:15:56.440 nine-to-five lives, 0.97

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 1.00

00:16:02.820 is hunter-gatherer shit. 1.00

00:16:04.460 Part of this animal stuff 1.00

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, 1.00

00:16:13.120 starts fucking bitches 1.00

00:16:14.020 and getting strong. 1.00

00:16:15.540 Brad Pitt,

00:16:16.100 same thing.

00:16:16.960 Starts a fight club, 1.00

00:16:18.220 starts beating the shit 0.99

00:16:18.900 out of people. 0.87

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. 0.99

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, 1.00

00:17:34.920 he's an asshole 1.00

00:17:35.620 piece of shit 1.00

00:17:36.340 and he goes crazy 1.00

00:17:37.420 and insane.

00:17:38.320 Why?

00:17:38.580 It's not really his fault. 0.99

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, 0.99

00:17:53.260 you become insane

00:17:54.000 and that's when you start 0.89

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 0.87

00:17:59.020 abandoned disgusting house 0.55

00:18:00.620 with boarded up windows, 0.91

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 0.99

00:18:25.480 with being weak losers, 1.00

00:18:26.880 these men 1.00

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 0.78

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. 0.89

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. 0.55

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, 0.90

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? 1.00

00:19:36.940 Fantasy shit. 1.00

00:19:38.540 Queen's Gambit? 1.00

00:19:39.540 Just making up girls, 1.00

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, 0.98

00:19:47.200 let's make a female, 1.00

00:19:48.420 whatever the fuck, 0.99

00:19:49.240 just versions of men movies 0.99

00:19:50.480 and they just put women 1.00

00:19:51.540 in the same position.

00:19:52.720 Queen's Gambit?

00:19:53.540 There's no female 1.00

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. 1.00

00:20:01.860 Male movies are about misery. 0.99

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. 0.99

00:20:08.740 Because to these men, 1.00

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 1.00

00:20:48.840 their asses back to them. 1.00

00:20:50.100 By now, 0.99

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! 0.98

00:21:24.720 Even with his big-ass 1.00

00:21:25.860 fucking 1.00

00:21:26.340 testicular cancer 1.00

00:21:27.940 fucking titties 1.00

00:21:28.800 shit lactating 1.00

00:21:29.860 out of his shirt. 1.00

00:21:30.800 Look at that!

00:21:31.600 RAAAAAAA! 0.70

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 0.99

00:21:53.680 self-improvement bullshit. 0.99

00:21:55.640 They don't want you to be doing this. 0.99

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, 1.00

00:22:04.460 working jobs we hate

00:22:05.440 so we can buy 1.00

00:22:05.960 shit we don't need. 0.99

00:22:07.040 With no purpose or place, 1.00

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 1.00

00:22:28.000 us some white shit 1.00

00:22:28.780 and then I think 1.00

00:22:29.880 when it's only white people

00:22:31.120 in a club, 0.96

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. 0.98

00:22:55.860 No offense to white people, 0.79

00:23:00.160 but that's what y'all do 0.84

00:23:00.900 when you, like,

00:23:01.500 wake up,

00:23:02.240 you go crazy 0.99

00:23:02.860 and then just start destruction. 0.67

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. 0.57

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 0.75

00:23:29.740 who blame everyone 0.84

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 0.94

00:23:52.400 of losers. 0.96

00:23:53.340 I'm sure we all remember 0.99

00:23:54.400 that Try Guys video.

00:23:55.600 Ah!

00:23:57.140 Soy boys, 1.00

00:23:58.140 look at these fuck. 1.00

00:23:59.280 This is what they promote. 1.00

00:24:00.840 Pussy ass feminine men. 1.00

00:24:02.480 All of them are bisexual here. 1.00

00:24:04.140 No offense,

00:24:05.060 but like,

00:24:05.400 come on guys.

00:24:06.420 Oh, 1.00

00:24:06.600 you're sucking dick. 1.00

00:24:07.780 That's what they want to promote. 1.00

00:24:09.040 He's like,

00:24:09.540 yeah, 0.99

00:24:09.860 let's all try on makeup and shit. 1.00

00:24:11.580 Ah, 1.00

00:24:11.860 gross. 0.93

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, 1.00

00:24:17.180 shut up. 1.00

00:24:17.880 Well, 1.00

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. 0.99

00:24:24.500 Disgusting. 1.00

00:24:25.440 Take your balls back. 1.00

00:24:26.660 But this video really wasn't 0.99

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 1.00

00:24:47.060 your balls! 1.00

00:24:48.660 Take your balls back! 1.00

00:24:49.840 Don't let them neuter you! 1.00

00:24:51.020 When men have the testosterone 0.94

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! 0.99

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. 0.89

00:25:21.580 Sexual drive 0.86

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! 0.74

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- 1.00

00:26:13.080 Look at that shit! 1.00

00:26:14.680 Look at that! 1.00

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! 1.00

00:26:22.560 Fuck that shit! 1.00

00:26:23.500 Woo! 1.00

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, 0.51

00:26:41.100 they become less assertive with low energy, 0.98

00:26:43.080 their genitals shrink, 0.97

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 1.00

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- 1.00

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- 1.00

00:27:10.720 STOP WORSHIPPING THESE FUCKING SELF-HELP PEOPLE! 1.00

00:27:13.600 STOP WORSHIPPING PEOPLE ONLINE! 1.00

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! 1.00

00:27:20.880 I'm a fucking idiot! 1.00

00:27:22.000 I'm just- 1.00

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? 1.00

00:27:26.480 I'm stupid! 0.99

00:27:27.040 I need to calm down! 1.00

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! 0.99

00:27:34.640 I don't give a fuck about none of that! 0.99

00:27:37.680 ...games and social media called adult content and OnlyFans. 0.98

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. 1.00

00:28:00.320 Pussies! 1.00

00:28:01.520 Come on, shit! 1.00

00:28:03.120 Come on! 1.00

00:28:04.080 Something! 1.00

00:28:05.120 Take your balls back, bitch! 1.00

00:28:08.000 Split testing to keep you mired in an endless loop of distractions. 1.00

00:28:12.160 Creating a generation a week, pleasure-seeking droogs, 1.00

00:28:15.280 whose lives consist of waking up, scrolling on social media, and busting a nut.

00:28:19.280 Ewww! 0.99

00:28:21.200 The first thing you do is go on OnlyFans and scroll on Instagram and look at titties? 0.82

00:28:25.360 What?! 0.55

00:28:26.160 These hoes don't deserve our energy, chat! 1.00

00:28:29.040 They don't need it! 0.64

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! 1.00

00:28:45.440 Damn! 1.00

00:28:51.040 That's why they think I'm crazy! 1.00

00:28:52.640 I still got my balls attached! 1.00

00:28:55.440 Entire countries are becoming weaker as we become lazy, instant, pleasure-seeking men. 0.98

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... 0.60

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... 1.00

00:29:29.200 I'm still scared of your shit. 1.00

00:29:37.440 When men around you are docile, lethargic and apathetic, you accept being weak. 1.00

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? 1.00

00:30:31.040 I'm gonna take my pills and be a good boy. Yes, government. Whatever you want me to do. 1.00

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. 1.00

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. 1.00

00:30:54.720 Where they are repeatedly threatened and told they're not wanted. 1.00

00:30:57.440 The test is designed to filter out the weak and those who can delay their gratification. 1.00

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 1.00

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. 1.00

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 0.99

00:32:06.880 just causing- ah! Look at him, look at him, causing mass destruction. Ah! No! What? What? What? What? 1.00

00:32:12.800 Stop. It's longer about managing men's repression in modern society. It's not- Angle Live Chat! What race, 0.90

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. 1.00

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 1.00

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? 1.00

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. 1.00

00:33:24.480 Just leave. It's not your fault. It's not your fault. But come on. 0.99

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 0.95

00:34:34.560 Tyler Durden. My balls back. It's the same shit. 0.99

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. 1.00

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 0.96

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, 0.98

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 0.96

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. 0.99

00:35:53.360 That's what they say. That being a good person is being a fucking bot. Ew. 1.00

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! 1.00

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. 0.95

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! 1.00

00:39:31.280 Fuck. 1.00

00:39:32.480 Virtual values with no masculinity. When these men are no longer embraced by the society, 1.00

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. 1.00

00:40:11.800 Nah, we watch one video, fuck that. 1.00

00:40:13.360 We got 4K in here, fuck that. 1.00

00:40:14.360 I can watch one more video. 0.99

00:40:19.740 Yeah.

00:40:22.660 Watch out!
