explain yourself

>>14590592
don't sweat it. if you can survive long enough, you'll come to see how masturbatory philosophy is. experience things and lift up people around you. your brain meat will take care of the rest.

fuck you nietzsche you fedora wearing edgelord. individual is weak. individual is alone. individual is doomed to become crazy. no one can help the individual. a person needs tribe to remind him his place in the world. humans need to connect to each other otherwise humans break easily. your drivel is nothing but an excuse for machiavelianist narcissism. fuck you you fucking degenerate. you made me like this. fuck this meme. it's a plague of western society. fuck you.

>>14590623
Correct.

>>14590592
As he said, his books ruin the weak and allow the strong to flourish

>>14590623
fuck YOU, tribalism itself is the true plague on western society. What good is secession from the morals of old if the good people of earth start conforming to the -now godless- new tribes of their own making? We are way too powerful a species now to be this fucking retarded. Ascend, and suffer for the betterment of this land, faggot, or be the caveman your democrat parents, or your pastor, or that goddamned scientologist coworker meant you to be.

>>14590592
That's a shame. He improved mine.

>>14590648
fucking idiot. he literally praised the laws of manu and hindu society in the antichrist.

Why would anyone read the philosophy of a man that looks like he wanted to die every second he lived lol.

>>14590656
Was that not merely a tool to provide an alternative to the christian cesspool he sought to destroy? The undemocratic nature, and the inequal rights of such a system is allowing the übermensch to thrive. I feel like he cared little about the spiritual aspects of hinduism in particular.

>>14590686
because you and i both also want to die every second we live

>>14590695
have you read anything he wrote? he praised it as a civilization that placed intuition as their ontological starting point.

>>14590592
reclaim it, then

>>14590623
>no one can help the individual
>a person needs tribe to remind him his place in the world

Pick one or concede that that individuals need help but can’t get it from other people.

>>14590720
it happens when an individual is so far up his own ass that he has lost the ability to reach out anymore, or literally no one can understand/relate/care for his struggles. if a person is lost, sometimes that's it.

>>14590735
So are all individuals up there own ass’s? The combination of the contradiction I pointed out plus the back pedal from a blanket statement of all individuals to a select group make these arguments against individualism show a lack of coherence that I would take as a sign to think on it a bit more if it were my view.

>>14590623
You got the individualist theme right but took it too far. The point is to be willful and do what is right and to develop oneself into their highest expression in the face of a herd mentality which would otherwise hinder this. But sure if the philosophy isn't working for you move on.

What was the purpose for using Zarathustra as a character?

i thought twilight of the idols was suppose to be good but it's literally my second least favorite thing from nietzsche after thus spoke zarathustra

When Nietzsche talks about taking action for the benefit of yourself "and your race" who do you think he means by race? Nietzsche understood the importance of a tribe, just not some cucked statist mentality predicted on government or ethnicity.

>>14590592
It's not Nietzsche. It's a combination of:

1. The irresponsible democratic society that let you read his works before you were ready for them.

2. You yourself for wandering off into a realm you (very likely) knew at a subconscious level wasn't for you.

But, no point in crying over spilled milk. Pick yourself up from your bootstraps and carry on.
