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 Saucy detail: the English for Übermensch is... Superman. 😬

@Eetschrijver

right!

back before, or while, the term's original intent got destroyed by the nazis

the term wiggled over into english via an american jew and a canadian jew before wwii to describe a guy in their comics who punches nazis

history is complicated

@benroyce @Eetschrijver Jerry’s partner Joe Shuster came from Canada, something Brian Vaughan made great use of in his series, We Stand On Guard: https://mastodon.social/@KerryMitchell/113895415574560212
@KerryMitchell @Eetschrijver oh yeah, he was a canadian in america, forgive my clumsiness, i edited my comment

@benroyce @Eetschrijver Vaughn was having a bit of fun there. Notice Vaughn, the writer, having the character pointedly say that the artist does the REAL work.

Canadian fans are legitimate believers though. The similarities between Shuster’s design of Metropolis and Toronto, his aunt Lois, and so on have often been pointed out. Also, Superman stamps and coins have been issued in Canada, based on the connection.

@KerryMitchell @Eetschrijver

You guys get wolverine, deadpool, and sabretooth. And superman? Not fair! (/s) 😆

@benroyce
We've not even talked music yet. For starters, I bid Neil Young and Joni Mitchell. 😂

@benroyce
And we haven't even mentioned Patrick Watson and Ron Sexsmith yet!

@Eetschrijver @benroyce There are some underrated Canadians. I’m surprised they’re known abroad, when they’re not so well known (particularly to the youngsters) here at home.
