Its an incredibly sad and genuinely deep book that bemoans the toxic nature of masculinity and the ultimately self-destructive consumerist mindset. When even your effort at rebelling against your corporate overlords turns you into the CEO of a shitty little fascist MLM, what are you supposed to do to rebel against a broken society?
Of course these Twitter dorks can't look past the part where one dude laughs at another dude with prostate cancer for having "bitch tits".
The sequel comic has a meta-plot where an legion of angry chud Fight Club fans track down Chuck Palahniuk himself. They worship Tyler Durden, have only seen the movie, and end up writing their own version of the comic where Project Mayhem was good, actually.
It's not a great comic but I like that the writer himself vented his frustrations
Have you looked into community counseling in your area? Universities will often offer it to the public for cheap. You'd be getting a fresh graduate who needs counseling hours under their belt to get work, but it's supervised by experienced therapists and it could get you through. It's better than nothing.
"Unique snowflake" was used in a positive sense before the movie. The novel uses it, but Durden uses it in a disparaging way. He uses it to mean anyone who believes themselves above his orders, because it's feminine to not follow his orders. If you think you're a unique personality, you're actually not, because feminine society brainwashed you with empty comforts. The opposite of a snowflake is what Durden calls a "space monkey." The ones who are willing to follow his orders even if he's not making sense or the orders seem dangerous.
The entire book portrays feminine things as invalid, or weak. Bob has breasts because he's feminine. Working at an office is feminine. Worrying about how you look is feminine. Masculinity is gained through being a terrorist and hanging off the every word of the big manly guy who punched everyone.
Chuds read the book (let's be real they watched the movie) and didn't realize the message was satire. I blame David Fincher for casting the attractive Brad Pitt as the villain.
Reddit would shit themselves if they knew Camus, Huxley, Kafka were socialists. Probably more of the guys on that list.
Also Fight Club is literally about how straight white men would rather form a terrorist group than go to therapy

:sicko-wistful:
Being part of a terrorist group won't cost me $160 for every weekly meeting

It's the origin of that turbo-chud "snowflake" meme though (or was that only in the movie)?
