“Whoever knows he is deep, strives for clarity; whoever would like to appear deep to the crowd, strives for obscurity. For the crowd considers anything deep if only it cannot see to the bottom: the crowd is so timid and afraid of going into the water.”

Pretentious try-hards are just plebs who are trying extremely hard to hide their plebness.

Daily reminder that anyone who has read Nietzsche can never become the Ubermensch.

Human, All Too Human.

Liberals are filthy slaves.

Slave morality is created in opposition to what master morality values as 'good'. 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 the strong. Nietzsche saw this as a contradiction. Since the powerful are few in number 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 they originally could not choose because of their weakness. By saying humility is voluntary, slave morality avoids admitting that their humility was in the beginning forced upon them by a master. Biblical principles of turning the other cheek, humility, charity, and pity are the result of universalizing the plight of the slave onto all humankind, and thus enslaving the masters as well.

Read some Nietzsche.

I don't get why liberals like nietzsche?

Just read the greek state, genealogy of morals, beyond good and evil... It's almost fascist.

I'm reading the antichrist of Nietzsche, can anyone recommend the good bits?

I'm interested in his attacks on democracy more than the criticisms of christianity...

stoicism is tyranny against yourself

that feel when you suddenly GET this picture

ITT: we suggest fascist literature

I start with Julius Evola, Nietzsche's genealogy of morals, even though he isn't really a fascist, ernst junger, arthur moeller.
