LITERATURE: Fight Club – More on Theme

The fight club has expanded into Project Mayhem as its next step, and more and more guys are swelling the membership. They accept and live by the rules. Understandably, there are always people who will join the most outrageous movement if they are dissatisfied enough with their own lives.

I love this:

When I come home, one space monkey is reading to the assembled space monkeys who sit covering the whole first floor. “You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everyone else, and we are all part of the same compost pile.”

The space monkey continues, “Our culture has made us all the same. No one is truly white or black or rich, anymore. We all want the same. Individually, we are nothing.”  (pg. 134)
