Snopes says "false" but that's Snopes
Tbh I dont really care about copyright infringement

There are dozens of "a computer controls everything" stories
For years there have been
And "youre stuck inside the computer" shit
There was a lot of debate in how the Matrix is a retelling of biblical stories
Yeah a lot of narratives are also just biblical, or have biblical applicability
Same with classical literature. Once heard the Warriors explained as a modern Odyssey
I mean... it is
like, intentionally so
I heard fight club explained as a story written by a gay man about male toxicity. And matrix as a story directed by two trans as a trans/coming out story.
like oh brother, where art thou
Fight Club is definitely not about male toxicity
fight club is stupid, massively over hyped
Maybe female toxicity in some parts
Fight Club is about a search for meaning
The author was on JRE
Yeah
tf does shitlord mean
He seems like a cool dude
He's a shit disturber

He enjoys coming up with awful and uncomfortable scenarios in his work
"likes to dick around"
^also that

regardless of his online personality, FC was dumb
But yeah fight club is about people escaping ennui via anarchy
Overhyped sure but I enjoyed the break from the conventional
Kind of like what's happening now 🤔
I suppose it's been overhyped, though considering just how highly regarded it tends to be, that's... not hard to do
it was overhyped when it came out by all my pot-smoking anarchist psuedo-friends
I love fightclub, personally, though a big part of that is that I love edward norton as an actor
OOF
edward norton, is in my bottom 10
