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

@benroyce It's because so many mediocre ass-clowns quote and misquote Nietzsche to buttress their nonsensical hatreds, and it's been going on for so long, that I have always kept my fondness for the man and his work close to my chest.

One of the earliest to reject systematizing philosophy, a wicked wit, a strong thinker, an even better writer, there is a great deal in his work that I admire.

@GeePawHill

we can both appreciate doing things on our own terms and arriving at our own morality

but fascist and bigots just took nietzsche to mean "it's ok to be a fascist bigot!" and abandon morality

morons ruin everything

now we have to be wary of anyone who is a fan of nietzsche

@GeePawHill @benroyce This started before Nietzsche was even dead. His brother-in-law (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernhard_F%C3%B6rster ) was an antisemite who tried to start an 'Aryan' colony. When he killed himself, his wife and Nietzsche's sister Elizabeth tried to portray him as a hero.

She tried to do the same in her portrayal of her brother to the German Nationalists (future Nazis) soon afterward.

Meanwhile, Nietzsche once described himself as an 'Anti-antisemite.' He HATED the German Nationalists. HATED them.
