>>122600260You ever watched Fight Club?
The movie starts out with a positive message. A man in a dead-end job, and feeling suicidal, meets another man who challenges him to a fight. Over time, he gets involved in a counter-culture of dangerous fighting, and he becomes more willing to take risks and brave dangers. This part of the film has the famous quote: “You are not your job, you're not how much money you have in the bank. You are not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You are not your fucking khakis. You are all singing, all dancing crap of the world.” And men buy this message. And really, its a good message - we put so much stock into material wealth and goods, when in truth what we should really do is pursue our own dream. Dare to do things. Be a Man.
Then what happens in the middle of the movie?
Tyler Durden, who was responsible for this idea, starts Project Mayhem, which is aimed at crashing the financial world and setting things back to zero. Of course there is that other big spoiler but go watch the movieWhy am I mentioning all this? Because Fight Club was meant to represent how a positive ideology can be twisted into a negative one. As Edward Norton puts it, how "Nietzsche becomes Hitler".

>>122600304>>122600317Personally I think Marvel should have gotten Peterson's permission or endorsement before referencing his ideology for such a story.
>>122600813 &
>>122600824 has the right idea, but the fact that Peterson was unaware it makes it look like an attack on him.
