He's not Aristotle, and we should never pretend he is. Bismark recieved alot of "jingle" from Nietsche, and its no accident. Like that Chomsky (partial) hack and modern lefties.
Nietzsche performs the same job as mordern academics. They rationalize and normalize the world-veiw of the powerful (or those with the megaphone) as the proper and good. Take a look at the political landscape at the time of first publication. He is the cheer leader, not necessarily an astute and insightful intellectual.
That's absolutely not what he did. Did you not read the post at the top of this very page? He criticizes the idea that those in power are necessarily good and those not in power, slave, necessarily bad. Taken with a grain of salt, who among us is faultless? There will always be some wild, bad idea that any prolific philosopher wishes he or she has kept to themselves, right? Anyways...
Thanks for the warning but...
Hm. I think he's much more nuanced than that and anyways only foolish lefties confirm to everything they hear and fear alternative ideas. Children and lefties, both swallow everything late-night or Marx or whoever the follow says. That's why pretending to worship GEOTUS as a good was so funny. None of us took it seriously because we would never do that but for the Left... that type of behalf happens every day and so they sett blind to the humor. Anyways, being able to read, or watch, or listen to someone and not agree 100% is the basis of critical thinking. Sorry to 'go off' or whatever but I see this all the time online. Esp with the Left trying to "hold us to our own ideals" and pick off our influence makers and Intellectual Dark Webbers. To dry up new ideas by making perfect the enemy of God. For instance, "OMG, Peterson is in detox! Scrap everything the man said!" Nah, I'm good. I'll keep getting whatever meaning and good ideas that I can from Maps if Meaning. You know? Maybe younger minds are more impressionable but adults are should be able to read something like MSM articles and etc and see through the lies and discern their bias and still get something useful.
I agree, and going off is good stuff, when in good company. None of us are nearly as fragile as we are led to believe.
I have never read Nietzsche as being satirical or ironic. I have always taken him to straight up mean what he wrote. I dropped the (partial) in on Chomsky for exactly your point. We can take the good and leave the BS bad. Still, Nietzsche was an apologist and pep leader for the polity that believed they were superior and bred/meant to rule. He was not cryptically criticizing them.
Nietzsche may have had some good ideas and here it seems you've tapped into something pertinent to DJT teaching us how to win.
Don't forget he killed himself. Too much feeding on his writings can drive you nuts. (Don't ask me how I know that)
