Thoughts on anarchism?

Better storm ASKTRP and hop on that keyboard then. Anarchism is great when you don't think about it realistically. The only people who would actually thrive would be criminals, murderers, or another foreign power who swoops in. The sheer amount of carnage and death outweighs any positive outcome - you can't reset the entire globe. Fight club promotes some interesting concepts in minimalism, masculinity, and self worth but is hardly a blue print for anything substantial.

Fight club is more of a knock on the 21st century global economic system.

-Going into consumer debt to chase an empty standard of living

-living a life of mindless consumption while working on someone else’s goals (aka not your mission)

-finding your humanity through destroying your past self (“Self-improvement is masturbation, but self-destruction...” -Tyler Durden)

A show that’s more appropriate to what you’re talking about is definitely Sons of Anarchy.

A show about a motorcycle club that has to cooperate with other MCs and the local small town police to achieve their end goals.

Most of the show is about the struggle for power (definition: having the monopoly over the use of force in a given area). Since it takes place in a small town in a low-population part of California, it’s a better picture of political power plays, whereas Fight Club is more like “how can we fuck shit up”
