Fight Club (careful! Profanity!)

I'm including some scenes from the film Fight Club to augment your reading on Occidentalism. Buruma asserts that occidentalists hate, among other things, the bourgeoisie. What does it mean to be bourgeois? What does it mean to be heroic? Think about those two concepts (bourgois and heroic) as you watch the following clips.

Modern Living


Single Serving Friends


The things you own


Pain


Spiritual War


What do these men hate? What do they want? Are they occidentalists?
