>rapid transit stations
Lol. There are literally 3 people on my block who I've seen flying MAGA flags at some point. I like a lot about the US, but sensible transportation infrastructure is definitely not one of our strong suits. Of course we also drive by 200 different strip malls on any 20 minute drive with food from half the countries on the planet...actually that's pretty awesome. It would just be nice to not have everything being car based. Outside of a few cities, getting around without a car in the US is terrible.

>>20179664
yep you're right, the 86th and 2nd station. how new are they? i haven't lived there in a while. the station itself looks nice though so i hope they keep putting money in like that and for more new trains

I'm sure you could catch a rat in the DC metro

>>20179850
everything above 59th opened in 2017, so pretty new. they're unnecessarily large but I admit they look nice. they're continuing the tunneling up to 125th so that portion will probably get done (eventually) but the part going down to FiDi is a pipe dream I'm sure

yes, there's a coffee shop and a fookin Greggs in my local station. Living the dream. spare 10 minutes until your train arrives? sosig roll and a coffee!

>>20179600
I read that as "rapist transit station" and was looking at the pic to see who was the most likely.

its all convenience stores in my transit. you can maybe buy an okay reheated freezer patty for a meal.

>>20179850
the new stations are really nice, you can actually walk down the platform without worrying that if you slip on a banana peel you'll experience a gruesome and very public unalivement

only poors ride transit lol.
enjoy the bucket of shit i guess.

>>20179600
I don't live anywhere near a shit hole that has rapid transit stations

>>20179600

Why didn't you just stay home? I don't get people like you. You have what you claim is the best and most comfy lives, so you move somewhere you think sucks and whine endlessly about how it's not like where you came from. Why even leave your comfy place in the first place? It's baffling and I suspect based on mental illness or lies.

we dont have public transport here in New Zealand which recently made a Chinese Communist Party diplomat very butthurt when his flight was delayed at the airport.
cunt was crying that a country with population of 5mil where 4mil of them live in one city didnt have high speed bullet trains to service towns with 20k population.

>>20180589
What in the actual fuck are you rambling about? Who are you even quoting? I'm obviously American. I've also spent a lot of time in other countries, and I still prefer living in the US over all of them. The idea that anyone who wants to make the country better is somehow not a real American is the most retarded take ever. You were obviously triggered by the MAGA comment, which is pretty fucking cringe.

>>20179600

Some of us unfairly had our licenses taken away by the illegitimate state “justice” systems for DUIs and now have to rely on public transportation, or take Uber which is prohibitively expensive nowadays

>>20181017
What do your neighbors MAGA flags have to do with rapid transit?

>>20181051
American politics probably seems pretty bizarre from the outside, but it's actually really simple. It's a de facto two party system, where on the one hand you have liberals, who pretend to want to do nice things but are almost entirely controlled by corporate interests. Then on the other hand you have fascists, who are entirely controlled by corporate interests and actively want to make everything terrible. The MAGA types are the most fervent, cultish members of the fascist party. They believe in nothing and just want things to get as bad as possible. They would chop off their own feet before allowing something like high-speed rail to be built in America.

>>20180010
sounds comfy. i really like how the upper level has a balcony like that too, to be honest. allows me to see that i'm missing my train easier

>>20181039
Are you me?

>>20179628
>being American

>>20181091
>muh personal interests

>>20181091
So your three neighbors is why America doesn’t have rapid transit? I’d say car culture and the car manufacturers influence on both parties is why. And don’t forget the influence the oil industry has either. It’s a lot more complicated than you make it.

>>20181017
Fascists love trains though.
Hitler had a personal train (somehow Americans think this is too extravagent, yet the US President has a nuclear-proof personal plane escorted by fighter jets) and Mussolini 'always kept the trains on time'.

>>20179600
Since Honest Ed closed in 2016, I haven't reason to be by Bathurst Station, but I might go again just for Bakery On The Go, which I think is on the same level as the dry cleaners. Chocolate Éclairs, bread pudding, Spinach Feta pastry, sausage roll and beef patties. Allan's Pastry at Peanut Plaza have the best patties (goat, chicken, beef) and an Athens restaurant at Victoria Park and Sheppard had te best spinach and cheese pastery, but Bakery On the Go have them all in one place and in a subway station. I used to grab a snack to eat before I headed in to Honest Ed's and then more when I was heading home, bread pudding kept nice in the fridge. Such a shame that Ed was such a Based Jew but his son was such a Fuerdai Stereotype. A year or two before Ed Mirvish's death I remember shopping on the third floor where the women's section is, his office door was open and he was in there at his desk. Providing working class goods was Ed's business, and then he used the profits to fund arts for the masses as well, him and his wife Anne rented out houses to artists on the cheap, tis a pity his fuerdai son was too fancy to mix with the plebs.

>>20180589
>if you're not a raving MAGA psychopath you must be a foreigner
I'd like to think this is a bot but there are actually millions of "people" (I use the term loosely) whose microbrains work this way

>>20179600
Of course, I take my rapid transit station through the drive-through to pick up my food.

>>20181152
>I’d say car culture and the car manufacturers influence on both parties is why.
It is not why. It's because unllike Europe, not everyone lives in a city center, and trains are therefore not effective enough. One vast state is the size of a single country in Europe. Car ownership is required to have a normal life in almost everywhere in this vast land. Within places, like Northern Virginia, public transport is good for commuters as well as safe, but it still isn't what you need to eschew car ownership to go to and from the grocery or big box stores, weekend concerts, or trips out of town, for the most part. You will drive for the literal freedom of it.

>>20182008
>unllike Europe, not everyone lives in a city center,
I genuinely can't tell if you're making fun of delusional /n/umtots or you actually think your spring break in amsterdam gives you an accurate idea of how the entire continent of europe works

>>20179600
yes but the trains turn up fast enough that i never bother to grab anything from them

>>20181091
>They believe in nothing and just want things to get as bad as possible.
Take the Ukraine aid bill
>We won't fund Ukraine until you meet our demands on the border
>Oh you met them? Well we'll still block it because Trump said so

The stations only come in two flavors here
A) shitty little platform with a single, overly expensive vending machine
B) literally fused to a big ass mall

>>20180635
72nd is worse I think

>>20182062
Stfu and go to Ukraine yourself.

>>20180777
And yet you retards can't even have good transit INSIDE that single city
God kiwis are fucking DUMB

>>20179600
It's always overpriced trash. It would be so comfy if everyone would do things that benefits us all, instead of souless maximizing profits. If you got this amazing location, can't you as well do you best when it comes to food?

>>20182109
yeah a lot of the IRT ones are pretty bad although parts of Grand St make me nervous too

>>20179628

>both sides are controlled by corporate interests
>no! it's more complicated than that! you don't seem to understand that both sides are controlled by corporate interests!!
Yes, the specifics of who's pulling who's strings and the myriad web of influence is extremely complex, but at the end of the day they all generally want the same thing. The only question is whether you want things to get better, or are actively rooting for a soulless, corporate dystopia.

The only thing preventing us from living in a utopia is lack of high speed public transit. The only thing standing in the way of high speed public transit are the MAGA chuds. This is why Biden must win.

>>20179600
why is everyone in this picture dressed like they're poor?
>>20179628
oh, right, duh

>>20182465
It's always amusing when you people try to structure an idea in the form of a logical argument. It's like your head is full of gumballs bouncing around randomly and occasionally hitting one another. It's not even like you only kinda sorta understand what you're talking about. You just hear certain things and make connections that aren't there to fit the only narrative your smooth brain is capable of processing, but when spelled out logically is bat-shit insane.

>>20182465
Even if we got a supermajority in the house and senate and biden stayed, the democrats wouldn't do it because of their pathological compulsion to "compromise" and be "bipartisan" even though history has shown all this does is help the bad guys

So they'll deliver a milquetoast version that pleases no one so the repugnicans can try to destroy it the next time they capture high office

Not saying we have any better choices because the repugnicans would immediatley replace the government with religious extremists and have unironic book bonfires and legalize child prostitution given half a chance, just saying don't get your hopes up just because biden took amtrak to work a few times

>>20182467
>why is everyone in this picture dressed like they're poor?
Be honest. When was the last time you went outside?

>>20182483
No, even when Dems control an entire state they can't get HSR built, because they're not only corrupt and worthless, they'd rather spend their few "positive" efforts on legalizing crime and giving worthless shitskins "reparations". Also you pretend this degenerate garbage isn't a thing, but expecting honesty from a leftist is like expecting the sun to rise in the West.

Not all the stations but yes. Three stations in particular are in full-on malls. I posted in the past about one of those malls and how it used to be a fucking food mecca before the coof. Had four food courts, one with more independent things (excepting the Popeyes and Cinnabon), one with typical food court chains, one with a Chinese take out type joint (IE not like mall Chinese with the steam trays and free samples), a sandwich spot, a news stand, a bakery, a Dunkin' Donuts and a fucking piano player (it was the quietest of the food courts) and the last a super tiny one with a smoothie place, an Auntie Ann's and a satellite Cinnabon that gets the buns walked down to it from the full Cinnabon by cart. This smaller food court also had a green grocer (part of the smoothie place, technically), a butcher and a fishmonger (that also sold steamed or fried seafood platters). The mall was so large, it had two subway stations, one at the independent-type food court (had a Jamaican place, an Indian place, a soul food spot, a full-on fucking bar etc all set up like mall Chinese places) and the other right between the last two food courts I described.
The closest station to me with food has a simple snack stand selling donuts, hot coffee/tea/cocoa and packaged food that, outside of a few drinks, don't require refrigeration. I've been told they used to have a grill and cook egg sandwiches to order but I've never seen it.

>>20179600

False.

>>20182480
It’s either rapid public transit for all or everyone has to live in walkable cities like in Europe. We can’t have a utopia if half the people want to live in little rural chud enclaves only accessible by car.

>>20182593

What you really want is a Stalin or Mao figure to take over America, purge all the people you don’t like, and unilaterally enact all the policies you want.

>>20182609
Why? Cities and larger towns have public transit. High speed rail between cities and more densely populated areas. And then regional rail between smaller towns. Nobody is suggesting getting rid of cars altogether. Of fucking course you can live out in the country nowhere near a rail line.

Yet you still vote for them, because they agree with you on degeneracy, hating whites, importing the third world and collapsing Western civilization.

It's actually a fast food, slop, home cooking, drunken industry, technique, equipment, and unionized line wagie board - which makes telling /pol/ to fuck off on-topic. Youtube shills and fad diet garbage also needs to fuck off. This is also a dog board; cats have no place around food and cooking.

>>20182839

Yeah no, fuck off with that garbage

I don't know how much of a grasp you still have on reality, but FYI, chopping off your dad's head and putting it in a stock pot isn't "self defense"

>>20182873
This wouldn’t have happened if we had trains.

>>20182873
Don't even bother responding to individual talking points. These people are completely brainwashed. "Importing millions" literally just means following international amnesty laws and allowing for regulated migrant labor to do the shit jobs that keep our economy running. "Legalizing theft" just means not creating a lifetime felon out of a kid who shoplifts once. "Taking away your right to defend yourself" just means doing anything that would cut into the profits of gun manufacturers. And "not being able to discuss what's happening to you" just means getting a ban on social media for violating the TOS you agreed to when signing up.

>>20182652

Just across the city. Boston trains are slow as fuck. The whole system is constantly delayed. It’s old and mismanaged and it sucks. And depending on where you’re going, you can be on the train for well over an hour. Twenty minutes is a short ride. I’m not even factoring the wait time for trains to arrive.

>>20183511

>>20183594
bruh. my family doctor has more money than bernie. my college roommate probably has more money than bernie at this point. a couple of million is a lot relative to the average american but it's completely within reach of honest people if they play their cards right and have some reasonable amount of luck. especially if you grew up in the boomer generation and bought a couple of houses in small towns for not a lot of money and just held on to them.

the republican former mayor of NYC is worth over $60 million. that's not luck. that's corruption and fuckery. how the fuck do you get $60 million as mayor without doing something sketchy. those are the people YOU vote for, and you want to take down a senator for having a couple million and 2 houses.

>>20183592
Yeah, our subway back home, converting to miles, is about the same (51km) but that's for the total system. The longest single line is about 19km. I think that's 12 miles. Where I live in the US, the local subway is minuscule in comparison but it has an extensive rail system of light trains throughout the city and beyond.

It’s really as easy as pulling myself up by the bootstraps and then I can be in 8.8% of Americans who are millionaires? Maybe I should ask my dad for a small loan to start a business.

just to put things in perspective here. if you open this on your phone horizontally, bernie's bar is basically on your screen, or somewhere off to the right within a a couple of inches

so who is serving the people here, and who is enriching himself with the people's money

>>20183642
Are you trolling? You can see the ceiling of the place already. That's the kiosk's ceiling. Even then it's very clearly a small space. Why would a trainstation platform have a second ceiling visable only through the back of the kiosk

>>20183643
>8.8%
Is it really that low?
Criminy. I guess my family really /are/ rich. I thought we were middle class. My dad always said shit like "a million dollars would barely cover expenses for a couple of years."
We live off of under $75k annually combined but I have a little over $40k in savings if my own. Idk what she has.

>>20183648
>Are you trolling?
Just blind, apparently. It really doesn't look like it's inside the kiosk to me, even after you pointed out the ceiling. Still looks beyond, possibly because I'm not used to kiosks having friggin ceilings.

>>20183643
you have a problem with 8.8% having a million bucks, but it doesn't bother you at all that like 10 families control more wealth than the bottom 90% combined? I guess it's easier to grasp a million than it is to grasp zuckerberg or bezos money and people's brains just break trying to process that kind of wealth, so they go after the boomer who has 2 houses

>>20183645
Simping for a multimillionaire politician is pathetic, bro. Public servants shouldn’t be able to become multimillionaires. How does that work on their salary?

My parents always thought that sort of shit was gauche, same with wearing designer clothing that advertised itself.
My mother always said that the only way she'd let me wear something with a big-ass name plastered across it is if I were getting paid to be a walking billboard. Until then, plain t shirt and jeans for me. I always thought she made a smart point there and I've not worn anything with a visible label ever in my life.
And to be clear, when I said $75k, that's for me and the missus, not my parents. We po'.

>>20183701
Enough terms to become a multimillionaire. Part of the problem is the high pay and no term limits. I wouldn’t do anything to endanger a job that would make me rich and powerful. That’s why they promise everything and deliver nothing.

>>20183732
the point of paying people in high office low six figure salaries is to disincentivize corruption (like how third world cops have to basically mug people), and to ensure that you don't have to be from a wealthy family to be attracted to public service. but at this point I don't think you're discussing this in good faith

>>20183756

I'm wearing $7 slippers right now lmao
And as I said, we only earn $75k between the two of us.
I've had expensive clothes that don't show themselves off but in adulthood, I just don't care about being fashionable anymore and am more than happy wearing some cheap trainers from a supermarket and patched up jeans to go out to run errands.
The one thing I will absolutely not do is wear an undershirt as an overshirt. I'm basically human-sized Jon Richardson when it comes to clothing.

>>20183756
>the point of paying people in high office low six figure salaries is to disincentivize corruption
And no term limits ensures that people will do whatever they can to remain in office to keep the government spigot flowing into their pockets. What does discussing this in good faith even mean?

>>20183815
cool is this a waywt? I'm wearing $11 calvin klein boxer briefs, $59 levis, $25 adidas flip flops, a $59 pistol lake cotton henley, a $125 luca faloni cashmere beanie, $0 socks (not wearing any) and a $2200 grand seiko watch. I don't know who john richardson is but is that a size thing, like your physical dimensions? then in that case, I would say I'm more like a human-sized ute lemper, except I'm hairier, darker, younger, my hair is shorter, my eyebrows are fuller, I have a five o clock shadow, I can't sing (ok maybe if I'm drunk but you don't want to hear it), I can't speak german, I am not knowledgeable about weimar era cabaret music, and I don't have breasts or a vagina, but other than that, I'm kind of like her

>>20183821
it means you only care how much a politician's haircut cost or what's in their bank account if they're saying taxes should be higher on the ultra-rich, for some reason you get really idealistic about mandatory hair shirts and self flagellation in public service. if they want to cut taxes on the ultra rich, you have no interest in any of that stuff, I wonder why

>>20183867
>is this a waywt?
idk wtf that means
If we're listing everything we're wearing, then it's jeans so old I don't remember what I paid for them (over a decade and a half since school and they still fit!), ditto for the underpants and shirt. You're in luck about the socks! Aldi! Two months ago or so! $5 for two pairs!
I was wearing a hat and scarf earlier. $1 or two each +the time it took me to crochet them.

>>20183867
Ok. I think I got it. Arguing in good faith means that I must ignore the hypocrisy of wealthy socialists. For poor people, there isn’t any distinction between the rich and the ultra rich. That’s a distinction rich people make as a deflection. “No, don’t eat us we’re just like you in our $2000 watches. Eat the guy over there who has a few more million than me, he’s the real problem”. Meanwhile you’re increasing your own wealth every year because of the policies that create the ultra wealthy while telling everyone you’re not actually that wealthy and you’re just a wittle humble millionaire who cares about poor folks. Fuck you.

There is not a single city in America where it’s faster to take the train than a car. Waiting for the train, the inconsistent times they arrive, and the frequency that they break down all make cars a better and faster option. Public transit is for the poors and people who live in such tight spaces that there isn’t anywhere to leave a car consistently overnight.

>>20183934

>>20183954
>For poor people, there isn’t any distinction between the rich and the ultra rich
yes, they know this too, that's why the ultra rich love people like you. because when some guy who only has seven figures suggests higher taxes on the guy who has ten figures, you, with your great math skills, will simp for the guy with the ten figures because hey, what if you're in his shoes some day? empathy, maaaan!

so ok we'll do it your way. I'm actually in the same class as bezos, and "we" are hoarding all the wealth. why, then, don't you want us to pay more taxes? you obviously hate rich people, right? so help me understand. why do you WANT me to be even richer, and you even poorer?

Because the taxes you pay, both on behalf of yourself and the people you employ, allow me to live on welfare and food stamps from the cradle to the grave, and it also allows all of my Black descendants to do the same. I call it reparations, white boy. Or should I say, jew boy?

On the contrary, my ignorant mutt.
I am Black, and I know I have a double digit IQ. I also know that most jews have triple digit IQs, and more money than they can spend in their own lifetimes. I also know that most slave owners in the USA were jews. On an unrelated note, the first slave owner in the USA was a dark skinned gentleman of African descent.
At any rate, I think it is high time that the communists and jews were held accountable for their crimes against humanity. I mean, even in the Bible the jews say it is acceptable to enslave Black people

A lot of things that makes it into the flyer is old and therefore nasty. No Frills and Loblaws uses Farmer's Market brand onions and carrots. The onions tend to go bad before onions I get elsewhere, the carrots are big and bitter and missing their tops which have been lopped off a long time ago, but it still look greenish yellow. The meat is often nasty. Pretty much the only Loblaws that doesn't suck is the one at North York Centre, their T&T Supermarket in the suburbs is also good.

Census data and church records.

>>20183594
Yeah, you should instead vote for people who want to remove dark money from politics, not take donations from super-PACs, disclose their tax records, ban public officials from trading on the stock market while in office, and create a clear and transparent separation between politicians and lobbyists. Who does that sound like? Oh yeah, Trump! He put in an executive order to not allow elected officials to lobby for 5 years after leaving office in his first week as president. That was pretty cool, right? It was until he revoked it during his last week in office, basically allowing everyone in his administration to go right back to being swamp creatures while not allowing anyone from Obama's administration being able to work as lobbyists during his term. (The actual answer is Bernie and people on the left, btw - if it wasn't obvious.)

>>20184134
>Census data and church records.
None of that has anything to do with slavery, you fucking jew

>>20184108
Nah. My neighborhood is very safe. The train isn’t very safe. I saw a young lady get socked in the face for asking a gentleman not to smoke a large marijuana cigar in the train car. I didn’t do shit and neither did anyone else while the lady was sobbing and the man smoked his marijuana and yelled for anyone to do anything about it. I just turned my headphones up and moved to the other end of the car like everyone else.

People on the right don't understand numbers. They hear "tax cuts" and think it's going to benefit them, when in reality 90% of it is going to the ultra-wealthy and will effectively kill the middle class. They also don't understand that being a retired boomer with their own home is not the same thing as being able to buy Twitter or ruin a generation of public education because you're bored and don't know what to do with all your money. What most people don't understand is that if you were given a million dollars outright you could hire a financial advisor to invest that money while you keep your day job, and make far more than the average American on compound interest with virtually no risk. Put another way, half of all Americans could get by for decades at their current standard of living just living off of low-risk investments on one million dollars. If you don't think that's really, really fucked up I don't even know what to say.

or maybe they literally believe the wealth will trickle down?

or maybe they figure it doesn't matter either way but the rich guy who says bad stuff about minorities is "just like me" and therefore deserves support unlike the other somewhat less rich guy who uses these weird confusing phrases like "progressive tax code" and "capital gains" instead of plain spoken language like "bigly" and typing things in all caps

I think what it mostly boils down to is white people instinctively see themselves as being at the top of the natural order, so when they hear "raise taxes on the rich" they think "oh he means me" whether they're worth billions and don't even technically work per se, or they work 40 hours a week for $15 an hour, it's like an extension of their paranoid delusions about the white race being zimbabwe'd because someone said "happy holidays" instead of "merry christmas", if the walton family can't continue to accumulate wealth simply by existing, then how will the guy who makes $15 an hour ever become a billionaire? communism doesn't work! and if they see a brown person not being broke and addicted to narcotics, then the west has fallen and the entire system needs to be burned to the ground

America is a country of peasants. They literally have never had nobility and royalty, the people are a people who are /proud/ to be peasant scum.
Thus, their fashion was always destined to degenerate into looking like peasants. Even their richest man (amazon guy) dresses like a fucking peasant, despite his wealth and the price of each garment.

A lot of coffee shops realized that a long time ago. Oh, you want a coffee? That'll be $12.99, even though you could have made it at home for free.

>>20184253
>I'm dumb and really really don't get the point

The broader point is that wealth generates wealth, while the vast majority of people have to work just to get by. It's not about hating rich people; it's about hating the system. Allowing a few people who got lucky to accumulate hundreds of billions of dollars and affect society on a whim is just an extreme example of why this is a problem.

When I grew up we were expected to deal with the complicated and troubling things featured in works of literature. We read books and there was death, suffering, war, murder, racism, slavery, etc.

Not sure what changed but it sure is weird how the right thinks we're the snowflakes who need a safe space when they're the ones having a mental health crisis over penguins being gay.

>>20189288
Which of those books has literal instructions for teens to engage in anal sex along with pornographic illustrations and then put into a library for kids no older than 11?

>>20189293
I found tons of stuff like that entirely on my own when I was probably about 11, and I grew up in the 1980s, pre-internet. My mom used to drop me off at the library and I'd just roam freely through the bookshelves. You could have too if you were a curious kid with access to libraries and enough brain cells to figure out card catalogues. Too bad those things are illegal in red states, which explains a lot.

>>20189323
We're not talking about general libraries, you disingenuous faggot. The controversy is with SCHOOL LIBRARIES. The libraries that are contained within SCHOOLS and literally ONLY ACCESSIBLE TO STUDENTS. There should not be gay pornographic graphic novels with explicit instructions on how to engage in gay anal sex IN AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LIBRARY ONLY ACCESSIBLE BY STUDENTS AGED 11 AND YOUNGER.

>>20189281
>books loaded with depictions of and instructions for gay sex removed from public elementary school libraries

School libraries had stuff like that too you dingbat. There even used to be these things called "encyclopedias", before chatGPT, where you could look up naughty things right there in front of the teachers (or as you would call them now, the 'groomers'). Amazing to see people just figuring out what libraries are, and not being able to cope with it. Don't worry though as long as you prevent your kids from learning to read they'll be safe from those devil words.

'Unlike master morality, which is sentiment, slave morality is based on ressentiment—devaluing what the master values and what the slave does not have. As master morality originates in the strong, slave morality originates in the weak. Because slave morality is a reaction to oppression, it vilifies its oppressors. Slave morality is the inverse of master morality. As such, it is characterized by pessimism and cynicism. Slave morality is created in opposition to what master morality values as good'.

The source of wrong is never unequal rights but the claim of “equal” rights'.

>>20192184
Being a reactionary is literally what he meant by slave morality. He's talking about the ethos of a culture, not literal poor vs rich, and definitely not white vs non-white.

>>20192215
>He's talking about the ethos of a culture, not literal poor vs rich
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

'In master morality, "good" is a self-designation of the aristocratic classes; it is synonymous with nobility and everything powerful and life-affirming. "Bad" has no condemnatory implication, merely referring to the "common" or the "low" and the qualities and values associated with them, in contradistinction to the warrior ethos of the ruling nobility'.

>>20192215
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

'Slave morality does not aim at exerting one's will by strength, but by careful subversion. It does not seek to transcend the masters, but to make them slaves as well. The essence of slave morality is utility: The good is what is most useful for the whole community, not just the strong. Nietzsche sees this as a contradiction. Since the powerful are few compared to the masses of the weak, the weak gain power by corrupting the strong into believing that the causes of slavery (viz., the will to power) are evil, as are the qualities the weak originally could not choose because of their weakness'.

"The democratic movement is the heir to Christianity"[6]—the political manifestation of slave morality because of its obsession with freedom and equality'.

Nietzsche,
at least, foresaw what was going to happen: "Modern socialism tends to create a form of secular
Jesuitism, to make instruments of all men"; and again: "What we desire is well-being. ... As a result we
march toward a spiritual slavery such as has never been seen. . . . Intellectual Caesarism hovers over
every activity of the businessman and the philosopher." Placed in the crucible of Nietzschean philosophy,
rebellion, in the intoxication of freedom, ends in biological or historical Caesarism. The absolute negative had driven Stirner to deify crime simultaneously with the individual. But the absolute affirmative leads to
universalizing murder and mankind simultaneously. Marxism-Leninism has really accepted the burden
of Nietzsche's freewill by means of ignoring several Nietzschean virtues. The great rebel thus creates with
his own hands, and for his own imprisonment, the implacable reign of necessity. Once he had escaped
from God's prison, his first care was to construct the prison of history and of reason, thus putting the
finishing touch to the camouflage and consecration of the nihilism whose conquest he claimed'.

>still pulling quotes from the exact same wikipedia article
Half the shit you put in quotation marks isn't even Nietzsche; it's literally just a Wikipedia page. Writing his name in all caps at the bottom like a 12 year old doesn't change the fact that you can't even tell the difference between a Nietzsche quote and someone else summarizing his ideas.

As someone who has read and written about Nietzsche way too much, I guarantee you that if he were alive today and was given the option to go to a gay bar or a MAGA rally, he would find both equally revolting. If he could get past his disgust for gay people doing gay things, however, he would absolutely think the fags were slightly closer to his idea of "strength".

>>20192338
You very clearly have not read a single piece of Nietzsche's works, as he was quite obsessed with the ancient Greeks (id est: 'we need to go back' mindset); Greeks who had buttsex with teenage boys.

>Writing his name in all caps at the bottom like a 12 year old doesn't change the fact that you can't even tell the difference between a Nietzsche quote and someone else summarizing his ideas.
Is this a deliberate attempt to gas-light the audience, convinced they are too stupid to actually check the fact themselves? They very well may be that fucking stupid and your attempt may very well have worked if you met somebody besides me.
But dishonestly is part of slave-morality and honesty part of master-morality. I being a master, of course; and you a slave.

It's not just a belief at this point. And the idea that you've read a single page of Hegel is laughable (to be fair, most people who cite Hegel have never read Hegel).

Ah, so you are a retarded socialist, exactly the kind that Nietzsche hate THE MOST.

(1)
Here shall be the quote that Nietzsche hates humanitarianism (ergo: socialism):

'The Desire to Inspire Compassion.—La Rochefoucauld, in the most notable part of his self portraiture (first printed 1658) reaches the vital spot of truth when he warns all those endowed with reason to be on their guard against compassion, when he advises that this sentiment be left to men of the masses who stand in need of the promptings of the emotions (since they are not guided by reason) to induce them to give aid to the suffering and to be of service in misfortune: whereas compassion, in his (and Plato's) view, deprives the heart of strength. To be sure, sympathy should be manifested but men should take care not to feel it; for the unfortunate are rendered so dull that the manifestation of sympathy affords them the greatest happiness in the world.—Perhaps a more effectual warning against this compassion can be given if this need of the unfortunate be considered not simply as stupidity and intellectual weakness, not as a sort of distraction of the spirit entailed by misfortune itself (and thus, indeed, does La Rochefoucauld seem to view it) but as something quite different and more momentous...'

>>20192413
(cont.)
'...Let note be taken of children who cry and scream in order to be compassionated and who, therefore, await the moment when their condition will be observed; come into contact with the sick and the oppressed in spirit and try to ascertain if the wailing and sighing, the posturing and posing of misfortune do not have as end and aim the causing of pain to the beholder: the sympathy which each beholder manifests is a consolation to the weak and suffering only in as much as they are made to perceive that at least they have the power, notwithstanding all their weakness, to inflict pain. The unfortunate experiences a species of joy in the sense of superiority which the manifestation of sympathy entails; his imagination is exalted; he is always strong enough, then, to cause the world pain. Thus is the thirst for sympathy a thirst for self enjoyment and at the expense of one's fellow creatures: it shows man in the whole ruthlessness of his own dear self: not in his mere "dullness" as La Rochefoucauld thinks.—In social conversation three fourths of all the questions are asked, and three fourths of all the replies are made in order to inflict some little pain; that is why so many people crave social intercourse: it gives them a sense of their power. In these countless but very small doses in which the quality of badness is administered it proves a potent stimulant of life: to the same extent that well wishing—(Wohl-wollen) distributed through the world in like manner, is one of the ever ready restoratives.—But will many honorable people be found to admit that there is any pleasure in administering pain? that entertainment—and rare entertainment—is not seldom found in causing others, at least in thought, some pain, and in raking them with the small shot of wickedness? The majority are too ignoble and a few are too good to know anything of this pudendum: the latter may, consequently, be prompt to deny that Prosper Mérimée is right when he says:'

>>20192413
(cont.)
"Know, also, that nothing is more common than to do wrong for the pleasure of doing it."

>>20192413
Another:
'Sympathy has the satisfaction of others in view no more than, as already stated, badness has the pain of others in view. For there are at least two (perhaps many more) elementary ingredients in personal gratification which enter largely[128] into our self satisfaction: one of them being the pleasure of the emotion, of which species is sympathy with tragedy, and another, when the impulse is to action, being the pleasure of exercising one's power. Should a sufferer be very dear to us, we divest ourselves of pain by the performance of acts of sympathy.—With the exception of some few philosophers, men have placed sympathy very low in the rank of moral feelings: and rightly'.

>>20192413
And Camus, a Nobel Prize winner, says it:

'Nietzsche undoubtedly hated free-thinkers and humanitarians [id est: socialists]. He took the words 'freedom of thought' in their most extreme sense: the divinity of the individual mind. But he could not stop the free-thinkers partaking of the same historical fact as himself -the death of God- nor could he prevent the consqeunces being the same. Nietzsche saw clearly that humanitarianism was only a form of Christianity deprived of superior justification which preserved final causes while rejecting the first cause'.
- L'Homme révolté (1951)

>>20192413
(cont.)
'Christianity belives it is fighting against nihilism because it gives the world a sense of direction, while it is nihilist itself in so far as it prevents, in imposing an imaginary meaning of life, the discovery of its real meaning: "Every Church is a stone rolled on to the tomb of the man-god; it tried to prevent the resurrection, by force". Nietzsche's paradoxical but significant conclusion is that God had been killed by Christianity, in that Christianity has secularised the sacred. Here we must understand historical Christianity and "it's profound and contemptible duplicity".

The same process of reasoning leads to Nietzsche's attitude towards socialism and all forms of humanitarianism. Socialism is only a degenerate form of Christianity'

Which led to him being REJECTED by the French leftists (e.g. Paul-Satre), who, in the majority, believed in the USSR.

Wow, you really are a fedora tipping 14 year old. You should actually try reading Nietzsche some time. He was a sickly, spiteful, most likely autistic man, but like most very intelligent people, he also had a great sense of humor. This is the reason people on the left are not only able to construct arguments, but do so with eloquence and wit, while people on the right only ever regurgitate talking points and the same, out of context quotes and statistics while spamming pepe memes, and fall back on, "durr, do your own research!" whenever they get any pushback from someone slightly educated. It's why there's no such thing as right wing comedy, but you instead rely on "meme magic". You're everything Nietzsche detested. You are the uncritical, unthinking, populist hoard. As Heidegger would put it, das Man. In your parlance: sheeple.

>Marx himself was a Hegelian, despite Hegel being a devout Christian
This is one of the dumbest things I've read in a long time. You might as well argue that Christians are dumb cunts because Jesus was a Jew. It's practically meaningless.

They generally agreed on the same end-goal, but just had disagreements on the means used to arrive there. Later in his life Sartre denounced the USSR, as it obviously wasn't leading to any sort of greater freedom for the people, and was neither socialist nor democratic.
