LOL!
1. the term " #Ubermensch" was coopted by the #Nazis, don't use it
2. Still today, the stereotypical #Nietzsche fan is a pathetic #rightWing " #alphaMale" turd shallowly servicing their male insecurities to *conform*
3. But the original idea: a self-mastering individual creating their own values
4. #AlysaLiu quit #figureSkating because it was toxic. Then she returned on her own terms, for her own joy, fuck the world
You don't have to like Nietzsche, it's a sly roast of #MAGA losers
i agree
the unfortunate truth though is the usual nietzsche fanboy today hews to the way in which the nazis were nietzsche fanboys: all in the name of shallow superficial toxic masculinity, fascism, bigotry. little desire to truly understand
we both understand the difference between nietzche's intent and what became of his words
but we still have to be careful with nietzsche fans today because of the fascist assholes who have planted their asses on the topic
even though original intent and how words are interpreted are two separate forces, the original intent does not negate the popular usage of someone's work
we run the risk of accommodating fascist assholes, so we have to stay wary of nietzsche because we want nothing to do with his fans
it's more of a lesson in the twisty ways of history, and how things are always complicated
@benroyce @mayintoronto @archivescribe Nietzsche wasn't a Nazi (his sister was and that's why he was co-opted), but he was extremely reactionary.
So, yes: not a Nazi, not an anti-semite (probably), but to be treated with caution. His iconoclastic views against Christianity and philosophy in general are eye-opening, but swallowing his writing whole without criticism is not recommended.
