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
they don't read anything. they don't even read the bible yet call themselves christian, then make a mockery of what jesus said
they're all morons going on vibes programmed like robots by fox news and social media trolls
Correct but it's a general term today, like "idiot"
the r word was originally crafted as a neutral term and now of course is vile ableism
If someone said "i can use the r word with neutral intent because history" you wouldn't buy that
Likewise the contemporary use of the word "moron" is independent of its history
We can't fixate on historical meanings (many words have this problem) in attempt to find malice where there is none. It's just etymologically interesting
@Kierkegaanks @obscurestar @stib
some people go out of their way to look for offense
there is enough genuinely malicious offense in the world as it is, why invent and contrive offense where none exists
an excellent write up on the vile history of the word "moron" says
"All three words (moron, imbecile, and idiot) now function as general insults"

i don't understand why people can't understand etymology is etymology, and current use and meaning is the only standard
