It's a critique of Stoic metaphysics which were always an antiquated and crude attempt to explain reality which everyone is already aware of. You don't see even Seneca appealing to the idea of a "rational universe guided by Jupiter", this doesn't at all address the value of virtue or the Stoic estimation of external goods which is the centrepiece of their ethics

A philosophy of both slaves and emperors alike

No he didn't, if you actually look past all the charged language and the typical Nietzschean bluster his only complaint is with the antiquated Stoic metaphysics and the idea that nature was guided by a rational will. Beyond that plenty of N's ideas harmonise with Stoicism, his asceticism, the self-mastery of the uberman over himself, the love and acceptance of fate (what the stoics would refer to as providence)

You can't, it's impossible, we can't stop the bugmen from dragging Stoicism down with them either and marring it by their association. Already 'stoicism' has become somewhat of an anathema on lit

He was a patrician where it counted. But in all seriousness it was meant for all humans, from slaves to emperors

I was merely explaining how Nietzsche himself viewed Stoicism. Pic related is from The Dawn of Day.

>Nietzsche advocated for asceticism.
I never disputed that, but there are two kinds of asceticism in Nietzsche. Stoicism is the slave's kind and he did not advocate for that kind.

We all know he was a patrician of the mind

So every soul is of the same quality of the divine, each a drop from the same vast ocean that is your God, and yet you claim that one can be imperfect? That contradicts the very nature of the soul's origin.
You fucking Christcucks are so full of contradiction. It took us over 1,000 years to escape from the fog that Christianity brought upon Europe, which impeded our progress for a millennia, and even then we are still scarred by its dogmatism permanently. Truly, one ought to return to the pagan Greeks and Romans for any wisdom and substance - before reason was supplanted by the blind obedience that has characterised Christianity.
