I've been reading "The Antichrist" by Nietzsche and I have several inquiries about it:
In the first 9 chapters, Nietzsche compares Christianism with the destructive pessimistic Nihilism of Schopenhauer and the "degenerate art" of Goethe and Wagner.
Nietzsche claims that skepticism, empathy and compassion are not virtues, they are evil vices, he claims that the strong should not be concerned with doing what is right, but doing what is natural and truthful.
In the following chapters Nietzsche claims that Christianism and NeoKantian Ethics are hostile to life, that they are mental plagues that search to destroy humanity through kindness, that kindness is a defect, not a virtue, and that all virtues are rooted in power, in creation, in keeping nihilism at bay.
Nietzsche follows arguing that Nihilism and NeoKantanism are just the atheistic and scientific clones of Christianity, and that they are just as hostile to life and humanity as Christianism is.

I can really see why the nazis liked Nietzsche so much, he clearly advocates for eugenics and believes that social darwinism/neomalthusianism are accurate "scientific" theories (while also claiming that scientifism is destructive, nihilistic, alien to life and should not be aplied to human history LOL!)
Why do so many people take this moron seriously again?
His books look like fucking self-improvement bullshit for middle aged CEOs.

>inb4 wasn't Nietzsche a nihilist?
