We make your bed. We guard you while you're asleep. We drive the ambulances. We direct your call. We are cooks and taxi drivers and we know everything about you. We process your insurance claims and credit card charges. We control every part of your life. We are the middle children of history, raised by television to believe that someday we'll be millionaires and movie stars and rock stars, but we won't. And we're just learning this fact. So don't fuck with us.

* DeconReconSwitch: To messages to BeYourself. Tyler's view is that this trope, far from liberating people, does little more than turn them into atomized pawns of consumer capitalism with nobody to turn to for help, and endeavors to recreate a lost sense of brotherhood among men. The reconstruction comes when the story turns around and deconstructs Tyler's own worldview, which eventually turns into a totalitarian cult that dehumanizes its subjects even more thoroughly than they were before. The Narrator's victory comes from rebelling against ''Tyler'' and becoming his own man.
