Confused by this thread. The meat and bones of what OP said is not particularly edgy, just uninformed, and couched in an unearned tone of superiority (and peppered with non-sequiturs about warrior mentality). The idea that emotions are not in themselves good or bad is not a remotely strange or controversial viewpoint. Avatarfagging as the fag from Monster and acting like his opinion is cringe, yeah, but it's his behaviour that is adolescent, not his (unremarkable) point of view. I mean, if you adjusted it a little, there wouldn't be a problem. For instance if he said he dislikes what he perceives as the widespread assumption that some emotions are in and of themselves bad (rather than saying that "academics" -- which ones? -- push this).

I think treating Freud's theories as dogma rather than conjecture, and anchoring all psychosexual analysis in them, is silly.

How do I achieve this?

From what I could gather so far he is proposing that in a power hierachy the weak at the bottom bundle together so that they are strong enough to lower the strong at the top.

The strong at the top seek to keep the weak the bottom so that they can benefit from their weak position.

Wouldn't this mean that, as a collective the weak are strong and at the top of the hierachy, and since they lowered the strong's power the hierachy
1) collapses because everyone was made equal (strong got integrated into the weak), the strong rise to the top and the cycle repeats because human nature won't allow otherwise
or
2) the weak collective is at the top and benefits from the strong individuals at the bottom only in a way so that the strong can't benefit from them (-> because of master morality the strong can per definition not bundle together like the weak? -> no way out: the strong either become weak, bundle together, cycle collapses and repeats or the strong become stronger, conquer the weak, cycle repeats)
