Nihilism...to be 17 and edgy, good memories. If the writer hasn't figured out that life is the battle to be won he's either very young or ignorant.
He makes parallels with Sparta yet it's so clear he knows about as much as he's seen in 300 about it. Somehow he missed the fact that - even though they were trained to be warriors from a very young age - during times of peace spartans were craftsmen, farmers, scholars, politicians etc.

"Man, I see in Fight Club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off." - Tyler Durden
