    I wish to provide a hot take: With its focus as consumerism as the sole driving ill in society, I don't think Fight Club aged very well as a critique.

      Another Fight Club hot take. It's not as much of a woke satire of toxic masculinity as people seem to think nowadays.

      Watch "Dietland" then tell me in which ways your critique against Fight club work against that, too and where it differs. Also tell us why Dietland nearly gets out of lib territory over the course of the seasons.

      (Like if you have nothing you'd rather do and are bored)

      I read an interview the author of the book did and he emphasized it’s really just anti authority.

      my hot take is that its a gay allegory in the same way that the matrix is a trans allegory (not intended to be but is anyway)
