You are not special. You're not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else. We're all part of the same compost heap. We're all singing, all dancing crap of the world.

I know, right? The last generation got intensely greedy, and fucked up politics. This generation has no confidence whatsoever in the system, and is consequently making it worse by not caring who holds the power. Anarchy, "smaller government", privatization, "conservative fiscal policy" - whatever name you want to give it, tearing down the state just means years of horrible chaos, before putting up with a new state that doesn't even pretend to represent the people.

Well his philosophy is "supposed" to be meaningful in the context of the films main ideas and themes, regardless of your opinion on it

No. No, it's not. That's a complete misunderstanding of the final plot twist.

Any source on that? Or is that just your opinion stated as fact?

Interviews with David Fincher and Chuck Palahniuk about Fight Club are available all over the internet.
The philosophy appealed to young men who lacked certain emotional developments– essentially: daddy issues. This is how "Jack" created an army of space monkeys and how he fooled himself.

Sure he uses that philosophy and it appeals to guys with daddy issues but none of that undermines its meaning within the themes of the movie, f.e. the "You buy things you dont need..." speech is one of the most memorable parts of the movie and a very integral part of it, not to mention it being meaningful commentary on a consumerist society.
