Fight Club Didn't Warn You About It

In-depth analysis of Fight Club and Tyler Durden.

Fight Club is often praised by people for its critism on the system, yet its true message is often misunderstood. While many people believe it conveys ideas like “Capitalism is bad and f**k the system," the cult led by Tyler Durden ultimately forms a chaotic, anarchist order that ironically mirrors the very system it aimed to destroy.

The movie ends with the dramatic destruction of towering skyscrapers, dismantling the system it opposed and leaving nothing but chaos in its wake. When this is the case, why would an average person choose that chaos presented by the opposing ideologies over a system where they may feel lonely but can still pay their bills and live in a decent house? I believe this question and its answer will become clearer, when we get Nietzsche's idea of the Übermensch.
