Fight Club is a coded (biased) subliminal message about the internal (psychological) process of radicalization of the modern young man. Thinking about it now, it reminds of the “Obey” nonsense that supposedly was designed as an “ironic comment on contemporary society” that regrettably served the function of having the word “Obey” appear wherever you looked.
Now that said, criticism leveled against regime du jour is merely the contextualized social barb (“consumerism”), with the substance of the intended strike aimed at the confining and defining social norms (which are present for any social regime whatsoever save pure anarchy). The process of destabilization necessary for revolution invariably entails undermining and devaluing foundational norms of the ancien regime.
As to the sanity of our hero, the reconstructed modern man, the message posses the question: did neuroses engender a ‘shattered social self’ or was the neuroses the side-effect of a misguided social condition?
