So, why does everything have to come to fight club?
Because that's what the OP is basing his thread off of...dumb#$*%.
Let's spend all the money the the U.S. funds in a given year to kill our race, and focus it on technology, what a f novel concept huh?
Well I agree with you there...I don't know why you assume I'd be against that.
To put it in perspective if your scared..

Never happen. Once civil structure is gone, there's no need for high technology so we can all get fast email and play video games. No need to know anything much more than what's in a 20-mile radius. And money? Hey, man, money is all imaginary these days, didn't you know that? Somebody pulls a plug, and it's all gone! Whoosh!

Throwing out the entire system is over the top.

Is that what your handlers and academia taught you that would happen if the TBTB where not in charge, you sound like a scared little child, not knowing a future.
You know there's a future where TPTB aren't in charge, and there isn't anarchy, right? Or do you only see in black and white?
And no, I do my own independent thinking. I know the future, and I also know you have no place in it. You won't be able to handle it.
Hey take this prospective, lets kill the past, and focus on the future.
Because forgetting about the past has been so successful in the past...*expletive* If you want to improve the future, you better know the past like the palm of your hand or you're going to make the same mistakes they made
Let's spend all the money the the U.S. funds in a given year to kill our race, and focus it on technology, what a f novel concept huh?
it's not a novel idea, people have been saying it for years.
To put it in perspective if your scared jump in my pocket i will take care of you, as the rest of the human race needs to get its technology game on and stop killing, and start producing: A highly efficient next generation, minus all the scared lil children and skeptics
I don't see any suggestions from you besides "Anarchy is all I can think of." Anarchy is the solution for those who can't think of any real solutions.

I can relate to Chuck Palahniuks 'Fight Club'. It says alot about how the modern world makes us impotent. Makes us feel imasculated. The modern world makes us paralysed. The themes seem to blame consumerism materialism and commercialism. It is saying that by placing such importance on material gain we are missing out on things that are real. We are missing what is good. It is saying that societies values are all out of whack and it is difficult for those that are aware.
I agree with all that. But I think the book is wrong by suggesting that we need to compromise. Why cant we all be Tyler Durden? I like that Durden does not care what comes after the rebellion. He does not fear it. He does not even plan for it. All he cares about is burning it to the ground. Smashing it up.I think there is something awesome about that. Why should we be scared? Why should we pull back?. When do we break the cocoon?.
The most common defense of capitalism is that nothing else works. Well guess what? Capitalism isnt working. Upward mobility was a scam and all the major players are basically bankrupt. Its time to roll the dice. The world is broken. Its not worth fixing the way it is. We must burn it down so that we can rise from the ashes like the pheonix.
And is anarchy really so scary? I think the nanny/police state that most of us live in makes us even more emasculated. More impotent.More paralysed.More locked up.Wouldnt it be kinda cool if you could challenge a guy to a duel and not have to worry about going to jail? In todays world we are forced to allow others to dishonour us. To insult us. To disrespect us. Someone can be a jerk to you and you cant punch them in the face.And they know it. It creates perfect conditions for jerks to breed. If jerks knew that they could get slapped with a duelling glove at any time there would be alot less jerks.
We used to be hunters. We are missing something. Anarchy would give it back. We dont know pain. We are non participants,non combatants. We get a DNP.. We are not in the game. I would welcome anarchy and something real. Cavemen had something that we are missing if you ask me.
Anarchy could be good.
And it would be good if we were all like Tyler Durden. (not that we should join Project Mayhem,but we should all embrace our inner ubermensch )

I think that is a silly thing to say.
I have plenty to lose.
Have you seen the new 'Planet of the Apes' movie? The best part is when they come to pick the ape up and take it home from the 'ape pound'. I love that instead of going home to the nice easy life that he had he turns his back. The ape has pride,the ape has dignity. The ape basically says "[SNIP] you!"
I think we need to have principles like the ape. We need to say [SNIP] you society! It might be easier to do nothing. To swallow our pride and take societies hand. But society isnt right.
I say [SNIP] you society.

Text And here I was thinking that Caesar would have preferd to go home in his heart but couldn't leave the other apes behind because he knew that they needed a leader to change their lives.

Text Also what would you do if you lead a revolt and then the other humans said to you [SNIP] you if you tried to stop it turning into anarchy? And the other humans would tell you what you can do with yourself.

Poilice aren't perfect and there are power trippers and bad apples. However it would be ridiculous to think that we don't need the police. There's just to many of us to not have some official body policing the laws. Also what's your other option? If the police start to fail and can't regulate society then it's left up to the defence force. There's a very good reason why the police are parra-military and not military.edit on 15-12-2011 by steveknows because: (no reason given)

I think most of the police are not needed. From the thread I decided that in my opinion, swat teams and intelligence type stuff are needed. But the average revenue raising cop that we see are not needed.
And I would like to see the army used in a way that was some use to the general public. Why dont they police us? Why do we have such a waste of a standing army that does almost nothing of use. The Armed Forces cost the taxpayer alot in peace times for little return.
Text Perhaps we have peacetime because the defence force is costing the tax payer alot. Take away a defence force and you get an invasion.
