>Nietzsche highly praised and enjoyed Dostoevsky

My entire respect for Nietzsche goes out the window. Dostoevsky wrote very Christian books yet Nietzsche loved him? What a hypocrite

One is low tier art, the other is high tier poetry. One is simplistic ethos, the other is not about good vs evil but anger and loss

>Resistance is not necessarily an oppositional act of political intention, nor
is it the simple negation or exclusion of the “content” of another culture,
as a difference once perceived. It is the effect of an ambivalence produced
within the rules of recognition of dominating discourses as they articulate
the signs of cultural difference and reimplicate them within the deferential
relations of colonial power—hierarchy, normalization, marginalization and
so forth. For colonial domination is achieved through a process of disavowal that denies the chaos of its intervention, as Entstellung [distortion,
misrepresentation], its dislocatory presence in order to preserve the authority of its identity in the teleological narratives of historical and political evolutionism.
