So true atheistbros, they're nothing compared to the might of the great Dawkins and Hitchens!
How does my fedora look, by the way my enlightened fellows?

Nietzsche is a gateway philosopher of the worst kind. His books are bad life-advice, clusterfuck of aphorisms and contradictory points that aren't very well argued by any aspect, but which attempts to compensate for his weaknesses by adding in excessive macho LARPing and EDGINESS. The normal anon can see this as the shit it is, and may enjoy it, hate it or be indifferent to it, but all the while recognizing that the philosopher himself, regardless of their opinion, is plain bad.

However, these very aspects that try to smear over the shit of his core make him a breeding ground for fedora, unsociable edgelords and faggots who engage in every kind of faggotry both online and in the real world. The provocative quotes all trying their hardest to sound cool, the armchair psychology, peculiar, homoerotic undertones, the whole Master Morality faggotry and everything about the Nietzschean ideals fuels their delusions of grandeur, while the pity-party character backgrounds, emphasis on egoism, and overall preachiness of the existentialism make him fit just right with the mary-sueish drives of your average teen and his sense of unwarranted self-importance towards the world. Exactly the kind of shit that makes little fedoras and underageb& retards eat Nietzsche right the fuck up.

Nietzsche is basically THE philosopher to attract the most hated fanbase known to /lit/, which is why, regardless of individual opinions, it is the responsibility of every anon to troll the fuck out of this faggot and everyone who likes him, and ensure that no Nietzsche threads ever encourage the newfriends to show their faces here.

A moral relativist optimistic nihilist Wagnersexual Kurzgesagt watching language professor and paramedic was teaching a class on Friedrich Nietzsche, known natalist
"Before the class begins, you must love your fate and worship Dionysius and accept that Nietzsche was the most rational philosopher the world has ever known, even greater than Arthur Schopenhauer!"

At this moment, an enlightened, pessimistic, antinalistic Bodhisattva who had posted 1500 pessimism threads and understood the necessity of coping and fully supported all abortion in the United States stood up and held up the Book of Ecclesiastes.

"Why does man hate suffering?"

The arrogant professor smirked quite Krautly and smugly replied "Because of the life-denying cult of religion! You must create your meaning, resentful slave-moralist!"

"Wrong. Pessimism is a 5,000 years old Perennial Truth. If it was religion's fault and meaning, as you say, is real… then we should be the ubermensch now"

The professor had a spasm, and dropped his chalk and copy of The Will to Power. He stormed out of the room crying those existentialist horse tears.

The students cried and became NEETs that day and accepted Death as their lord and savior. A raven named "The Last Messiah" flew into the room and perched atop the soil and shed a tear of joy for the dead and the unborn. The Four Noble Truths were read several times, and The Demiurge himself showed up and enacted Samsara across the World.

The professor lost his mind and resigned the next day. He died of the natalist plague Syphillis and was met with eternal oblivion rather than recurrence.

The student's name? Thomas Ligotti

And now you know... it's all malignantly useless

>why, yes, I do only read Nietzsche.
>How could you tell?

Post some good Atheist books?

I will do such things-What they are, yet I know not, but they shall be The terrors of the earth!

His views on will make it pretty clear that he didn't agree with either free will nor hard determinism, but rather opted for a mix of the two where something can be determined yet chaotic (I haven't read him in ages so I can't remember where the quote I'm thinking of is form exactly, maybe The Gay Science?). You could argue that it was just a thought experiment on his part rather than a belief, but it's pretty clear that he wasn't just referring to a subjective failure of knowledge that obscures determinism.

Neetch is a better writer than he is a philosopher in my opinion. His writings tend to veer toward the polemical, a trait that is unbecoming of a philosopher, who must see past his own biases toward the unvarnished truth. His prose, in both the brilliance of the thoughts it expresses and the poetry of its execution, is nearly unrivaled in world literature.

Why are NEETcheeses followers such pseuds? Is neetcheese philosophy pseud itself or is it just badly applied irl?

>Master morality is obvious that is infinitely superior for the individual
>they should acknowledge their mentality

Superior? Should? Easy with those value judgements cowboy. It's not that slave or master morality is superior. Whether you want to or not, the system nudges you toward that kind of behavior. If you're not building any pyramids you don't need any slaves or masters.

But what would my priest say if I explained to him the slave morality inherent to all Abrahamic religions?

Edgy.

Which philosopher has the best prose?

I want to get into Nietzsche. Any recommendations on good translations and where to start?

the question is, would Neeche have been a fat neckbeard if he lived today from eating too much fruit?
