   the lack of secure job is exactly the point of office space. They have the classic "consultants" in the beginning "what DO do you DO here?" His girlfriend is humiliated as a server where they want her to have more "flair" on her outfit.

     @TrevorGoodchild this is the same mentality that goes "a good culture never existed in the 40s through 60s, because if it did, it would make me feel bad, and I don't like that"

     My grandpa worked for Studebaker for 40 years. My great uncles all worked for the saw mill their entire lives until they retired in the early 80s, their tours in WWII excepted. Most of my uncles were truck drivers, and that's all they ever did. The notion that "there are no stable jobs" is very modern and inflicted on us deliberately, to keep us from ever having hope of stability.

     @BattleDwarfGimli @TrevorGoodchild yes, the lack of stable jobs is because "muh efficiency" but the problem is that on a larger level you are destroying society to make a penny ante company be able to save a few dollars. Infuriatingly short sighted.

     @BattleDwarfGimli @TrevorGoodchild Even saying "ok, we'll we will help them find jobs and move and whatever" is bad because it means you are ripping people from their communities, destroying the lives of children, wives .. etc. Just brain-dead.

     @BattleDwarfGimli @TrevorGoodchild The system is designed so you blame everyone but it. These corporations all do the same thing, so it is a systematic problem. They get away with it because the system allows them to.

     @sickburnbro @TrevorGoodchild The third movie, Fight Club, the protagonist was already insane. Which, again, was the point of the movie. We found out at the end of the movie that the way to live your Best Life in Insaneworld is to be insane.
     
     Whoever put this together could have just gone with the Al Bundy riff: a mall shoe salesman owns a single-family-home and supports his wife and two kids on one income. That was 10 years prior and genx was already envious of Al.
     
     Personally, I think this meme was made to troll us. Three "randomly chosen genx movies", each of which was an unforgettable recognition of the collapse of Western Civilization, yet each offered as an example of how much better things were in the 90's?
     
     Office Space: Niggermusic and Indian IT.
     Falling Down: Mexicans. Everywhere.
     Fight Club: Crowded, Filthy, Sexless.
     
     Despair And Be Free
     
     Those movies appealed to people raised to see the world through the eyes of a philosopher, and what they saw was horrifying. They gave a glimpse of our today-future. They were accurate.

     @NoDoxGregBrady @TrevorGoodchild I think this is simpler than that.
     Good Art can't lie, and more importantly, good artists will often paint a true picture that they can't fully understand, and thus show what people are subconsciously feeling.
     
     I think this person is struggling with the art.

     @Verfassungsschmutz @TrevorGoodchild I mean the whole point of a society is to provide insurance against bad shit like that.
     
     The whole initial point of taxes was this tradeoff, and the reason men agreed to it - and why these systems gained legitimacy.

     I think the entire point of those movies is to drive home the fact that there is no such thing as a safe and secure job that cannot be taken away at a moment's notice. As men, we have to learn to live with the fact that material safety is ultimately an illusion, and we ought to seek God instead of worshiping mammon.

     Secular society has and always will be a jewish plot to subvert Christianity by substituting man-made systems in place of God's will.

     Christianity has been able to provide insurance against these things for centuries, but man's arrogance always leads him to believe he could somehow do better than that.

     That the world is always ready to go to hell in a handbasket, and the only way to not get caught up in it is not to go along with it when it does.

     See: Lot walking away from Sodom and Gomorrah after having done everything in his power to try and save them from themselves.

     Kicking the moneychangers out of the temple is very much getting caught up in it.

     @Verfassungsschmutz @TrevorGoodchild it certainly isn't going along with it, but it is also getting caught up in it. To not get caught up would be to let them stay or perhaps stop using the temple.

     The Dodge boys weren't jews themselves, just Shabbos Goy. The town was run by The Purple Gang (https://detroithistorical.org/learn/encyclopedia-of-detroit/purple-gang) at the time, and they needed somebody to replace Ford when he started telling the truth about the jews. The Dodge boys were all too willing to play ball.
