Nietzsche, contrary to popular belief was not an advocate of individualism. The real significance and implications of the Nietzschean "Superman," shows Nietzsche to be an arch-enemy of genuine individualism.

Nietzsche talks about aristocracy, not individualism. Also,he criticizes the masses and their sheep behavior. But the superior ones don't need to be individualists, just to be separated from the weak, mediocre and vulgar.

THAT'S SO FUCKING COOL, DOG. Shit, man. Maybe we could chill out every once in a while. Grab some beers? Catch some shows? Maybe you could ride my cock? You have a nice, tight rump that I would love to pound.

I'm getting hard just thinking about slipping my cock in between your cheeks and into your tight meathole. No lube, because I know you like it rough.

I'll slide my huge, pulsating black dick in and out of your bum until I stimulate your prostate and you jizz your hot white boy cum all over the floor.

Then I'll turn you over and unleash my hot, sweet love juices all over your face. If any drips off, I'll be sure to lick it up for you.

why, let's take this insipid debate to oxford, chaps!

mediocre: of only moderate quality; not very good

weak: of a low standard ; performing or performed badly: exerting only a small force:

vulgar: lacking sophistication or good taste; unrefined. (dated): characteristic of or belonging to the masses.

You should learn the difference between an argument, and repetition. Or rather, you should learn the difference between a defense mechanism and intellect. Or you could learn the difference between words and concepts yourself--because then you would learn that concepts are not universal..you are upholding a fallacy their..language in itself carries meaning specific to it's own words..and the translations of Nietzsche that you read are so off from the original that you haven't actually read Nietzsche. Ha! there is the trauma you wish to avoid--the fact that you haven't actually read Nietzsche..you've read a translation. But you claim to be an NIetzsche expert..haha you can't even read his books.

If there's one author who needs to be read in original language, it's Nietzsche. Sorry, Amerifags. I'm not that sort of guy who says "mmmm read the original translation is nothing". That's bullshit, mostly it doesn't make that much of a differance. In the case of Nietzsche very much, though.

tl;dr Read him in german!

Also: It's difficult to discuss his ideas because he's not that sort of an classical scientist or philosopher about which you can argue. You can discuss Hegel very well, but Nietzsche? He does not state own theories but rather critique of everything else, and in the case of his theories (wille zur macht, übermensch), interpretation is very free. The Nazis e.g. didnt misinterpretate Nietzsche. They used him because he fitted so well. Nietzsche is an outsider in Science and Philosophy, even today there are not much seminars about him on german universities.

tl dr; don't discuss Nietzsche, read him and feel the passion, that's it!

>shows Nietzsche to be an arch-enemy of genuine individualism.
>Nietzsche talks about aristocracy, not individualism.

You mean the form of individualism where everyone gets to be their "own person", free from oppression?
The point is, according to Nietzsche, I think, that most people are not capable of "individualism", most of them don't even want it.

The "masses" (Nietzsche) are the people that aspire to little more than their own comfort and decry people who attempt at any real individualism, discouraging and belittling people who attempt it.
Let's face it, what our society now esteems as the greatest, most acceptable form of individualism is the Lady Gaga type: a bit eccentric in dress but still adhering to all basic social mores.

What individualism do we have? All trends are set by random market pressures. Nobody has much political influence -- not even the politicians. Even when you join some subversive political or cultural group you get branded as anything from a hippie to a yuppie... anarchist, marxist, hipster, or whatever: even these forms of "individualism" just seem like laughable, infantile shit that kids do before they learn how the real world works-- the world of normal, well-adjusted adults.
