Why didn't he just go to church, get a gym membership, find new hobbies, get a girlfriend, have children and read Evola?

get a gym membership
Fight Club was technically a gym
find new hobbies
Fight Club was technically a new hobby
get a girlfriend
he did
read Evola
There's no evidence in the film OR in the book that the Narrator is retarded, OP. Please keep your headcanon to yourself.
t. roastie
other people are not the solution to one's own problems
they are the cause
I know Evola is the only fascist who knew how to read and write, but that doesn't mean you should make him your idol, anon. He was a lazy thinker, an inept philosopher, and a mediocre artist.
get a girlfriend
yeah, haha it's so easy, haha
Why do redditors have this sort of posting style?
Be honest: Have you ever actually read Evola or do you just tell other people to read him because you think it makes you sound smart?
See he's doing it again. It must come effortlessly after using reddit for a long time.
What are your top 5 books?
You didn't answer the question.
Nigga it was the 90s.
I think it's a genuine issue that in the west life is just way, way too easy now and it starts seeming meaningless. I am at a highly selective medical school surrounded by hyperchads/stacies, at least 10% of people are already millionaires and the average person here is much more attractive, socially adept, fit etc than the average normalfag.
All this yet an absolutely insane amount of time is dedicated to bitching and backstabbing each other, getting offended over absolute non-issues and making drama out of nothing because due to a mix of high intelligence/good genetics and privileged families no-one has real problems so they just make them up.
In my own life I feel it as well, my childhood was awful and while I hated it and would never wish to go through it again there was never a lack of meaning since every day was a struggle. Nowadays I just don't face anything of the same magnitude so have far more time to question what the point of it is.
got his reddit ass lmao
exactly, it should've been easymode to get all those things
Post your total karma and if it's high enough then I will consider answering you.
If Evola were alive today he would not affirm my gender identity, and that is LE BAD and you are NOT allowed to like him, oh boy just wait til the mods hear about this *clenches paw*
read Evola
They weren't brown?
Edward Norton's character in *Fight Club* is deep in an identity crisis, searching for meaning in a world that feels hollow. Conventional solutions like church, hobbies, relationships, or even reading Evola don’t fit his nihilistic, anti-consumerist path.
**Church** could’ve provided him with meaning, but he rejects traditional beliefs. Organized religion feels like another form of control, reinforcing societal norms he’s trying to escape.
**The gym** might’ve given him physical fitness, but Fight Club isn’t about fitness—it’s about identity, chaos, and self-destruction. The gym still represents the consumerist, structured world he’s rebelling against.
**Hobbies** like knitting or hiking would’ve felt too peaceful. He’s not after calmness; he wants a radical break from the numbness that consumerism has caused. His hobbies—starting Fight Club and Project Mayhem—are extreme responses to break free from societal conditioning.
**A girlfriend** could provide connection, but his relationships are shallow, and his dysfunction with Marla reflects his deeper identity issues. A conventional relationship would just be another distraction from his core crisis.
**Children** might’ve given him stability, but he’s not emotionally mature enough for parenthood. The idea of raising a child feels like embracing the same system he’s rejecting.
As for **Evola**, his traditionalist views on rejecting modernity don’t align with Fight Club’s anarchic, rage-driven philosophy. Evola’s structured, elitist ideology contrasts with the film’s chaotic rebellion rooted in confusion and frustration.
In the end, none of these conventional paths would have solved his existential crisis. Fight Club is his extreme way of confronting the loss of true self-expression in a superficial, consumer-driven world. It’s brutal, nihilistic, and destructive, but for him, it’s the only way to “wake up” from the emptiness.
If Evola were alive today he would not affirm my gender identity
They fuck are you talking about, evola was pro trans.
If he read Evola he wouldn't go simp for a dead Jew on a stick.
mansplaining
enjoy your downvote
You didn't even read Evola. You just like to pretend that you did and assume that he preached whatever faggy brownoid bullshit you believe in.
noooooo trannies, save me EVROPA!
But...!
Nope. You did a sexism just now and so you are getting downvoted. That's just the price you have to pay if you want to be a sexist chud. Maybe it's time to reexamine your internalized misogyny that leads you to assume that you're interacting with men and that it's thus okay for you to "explain" things to them. Go take a look at that lower karma score and give it a big think, okay? Also nigger.
Because running a multistate fight-club franchise with the hidden goal to destroy the credit banking is a lot more kinoable.
The end credit because kino :
when you get so btfo you turn from ironic redditposting into legit redditposting
You won't turn white by meditating.
went through the trad meme 10 years ago
read Evola, Guenon, Spengler, Devi, etc.
realize traditionalism is all just impotent LARP and I'm in fact a postmodernist
None of that changes anything when you're a repressing homosexual. Also, Women in Love (1969) is a better exploration of this theme of homosexual desire mediated through violence.
None of those people were even traditionalists. They were mostly making shit up.
Actually existing traditions are also mostly just constructions of 19th century nationalists and/or ethnographers.
None of these would solve the emptiness that comes from a boring corporate job
Evola writes about this very thing. His whole idea was to study the ancient traditions of various cultures, find the common roots of them, and then sort of reinvent them for the modern day (early 20th century in his case)
I tried tries the first three, got to the fourth and found that the women were fucking insufferable. so I just went out and found a sperg instead.
Exactly
But why do I have to study pajeet metaphysics and alchemy when virtues like bravery are self-explanatory, which is just what ancient cultures mythologized anyway?
DUDE WARRIOR GUD
Yeah, no shit. I don't need to mediate in the Graal.
Why do you want a senile, obese, orange septuagenarian to penetrate you?
this post is evergreen
two scoops
two terms
twenty felonies
leftists taught me that being a criminal like le heckin rap niggers is cool so I will say that's based
Kek, no one cares about the bullshit charges, thats why he won a second term. Cry more troon
DUDE IF YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT IT THE THINGS YOU OWN END UP OWNING YOU
People really thought this was deep in 1999?
You literally deified a criminal and burnt cities down over him, fuck off
SO true xister! Now let me listent to Lil Killaboy rap about how many of his opp's hes killed, how many drug's hes manufactured and sold, and how many wome- err, bitches he's pimped out!
I unironically got my mom to buy me The Way of Men and Revolt Against the Modern World Christmas 2014 when I was a 22 year old NEET.
Because all of those things are as gay and boring and fruitless as waging.
Sounds Germanic desu
