Why do people worship this chucklehead?

his philosophy sucks. his mind broke the moment he saw someone beating a horse cruelly.

Wow so tragic, now you know what's going to happen once man is enslaved.

Narcissistic, self-exalting, powerful people brutalizing the poor and defenseless for reasons they rationalize from their ego that are actually disassociated from what is really happening.

Congrats. Wow I'm so glad we can look forward to the malformed post-real-religion secular faith that rises up after the collapse of liberal nihilism. Surely it will be better 8)

Nietzsche is a pure product of the secular humanism, like the subhumans Hegel, Kant, Heidegger, Adorno, Habermas, Arendt, Husserl, Popper, Strauss, Weisse, Carnap, Engels, marx,Feuerbach, Frege, Fitche, [all germans, weird huh? germans can't think, they suck at wars so they fell back on ''''''''''philosophy'''''' who travestied the greek philosophy which was lived, and they turned it into mental masturbation in sterile universities, in order to get a cushy life like a generic girl gets one from her orbiters]. Germans thinkers are vaginas who think they think.
. He is your typical atheist that you find on every street corner nowadays. Those people are torn apart by nihilism and delusion of grandeur where they view themselves as a benevolent despot leading humanity towards a higher life.
Nietzsche is:
-an atheist [there is no god]
-an anti-christian [like any marxist] [Dude dont think long term like the life-denier christians, only the here and now matters OKAY!!]
-a nihilist [there is no truth, only interpretation, FACT!!!]
-an hedonist [Only this life matters!!1 live in the present moment to coom like my dancing vitalist idol, the great dyonisus!! teehee]
-a narcissist [look how I analysed the totally non-judeo-christian-made concept of ''''''human nature''''' , Humanity is will to power!!! LE HECKIN INSIGHT]
-a jew glorifier ["The Jews, however, are beyond any doubt the strongest, toughest, and purest race now living in Europe."]
-a postmodernist [values don't exist but reality doesn't matter bro!!! Just become le heckin uberman, sink further into delusion, create your own values and fight for them until you die!!]

You have presumably not read his works. I will quote a few passages which directly contradict you, in the hope that you will realise Nietzsche is actually based, and decide to read him.

>Nietzsche is:
>an anti-christian [like any marxist]
Christians: believe in equality before God, blessed are the poor
Marxists: believe in equal human rights, blessed are the proletariat
Nietzsche: "Equality to the equal; inequality to the unequal" -- that would be true justice speaking

>[Dude dont think long term like the life-denier christians, only the here and now matters OKAY!!]
Nietzsche: That which stood there aere perennis, the imperium Romanum, the most magnificent form of organization under difficult conditions that has ever been achieved, and compared to which everything before it and after it appears as patchwork, bungling, dilletantism.

>a nihilist [there is no truth, only interpretation, FACT!!!]
Nietzsche: Beyond Good and Evil -- at any rate that is not the same as "Beyond Good and Bad."
You will have to read the Genealogy of Morality to understand the distinction.

>an hedonist [Only this life matters!!1 live in the present moment to coom like my dancing vitalist idol, the great dyonisus!! teehee]
Nietzsche: Well-being as you understand it — that is no goal, that seems to us an end, a state that soon makes man ridiculous and contemptible…

>a narcissist
Not relevant to the value of his work

>[look how I analysed the totally non-judeo-christian-made concept of ''''''human nature''''' , Humanity is will to power!!! LE HECKIN INSIGHT]
Incoherent

>a jew glorifier ["The Jews, however, are beyond any doubt the strongest, toughest, and purest race now living in Europe."]
He noticed that Jews are powerful. Do you disagree?

One might even ask if Nietzsche is not engaged throughout The Anti-Christ in a strategy of ressentiment, the interposition of a moral interval between Christ (the agent) and the church (his agency), in order – to use Deleuze’s happy turn of phrase – to separate Christ’s (aesthetic) force from what it can do. A deviousness bred of weakness and a poverty of aesthetic imagination will – so one is reliably informed – inevitably assert itself in this way. In truth, Christ’s cleansing of the temple precincts, his creation of a new and holy space within history, can be conceived quite compatibly together with his “symbolic” pronouncements; his injunction to “render unto Caesar” may be regarded not merely as a dreamer’s recoil from “reality,” but as the active rejection of one order in favor of another, intended to make room for the concrete community of the church and its peculiar practices. For Nietzsche this remains always inconceivable: to allow that the symbolist of the Gospels could be also creative, forceful, imperious, and capable of discrimination and judgment – to allow, that is, that the “idiot” whose rejection of power was final and still free of resentment could genuinely enter into history, or constitute an apprehensible aesthetic form among the many forms cast up by time, or pose against all philosophies of will and power the historical example of a community able to live, however imperfectly and infrequently, by charity rather than by force – would give the lie to Nietzsche’s own narrative of cosmos and history, his own metaphysics and (more importantly) aesthetics.

Again, there is little but force of rhetoric behind Nietzsche’s constant reversion to a pagan vision of the world as perpetual agon, a terrible collusion of chaos and order, which is shaped and controlled through the judicious deployment of various powers, such as “reason” or “the state,” or (as is the case with Nietzsche) merely affirmed as wasteful but indestructible creativity. Nietzsche is a pure metaphysician insofar as he cannot endure the “irrational” idea of a freely creative and utterly transcendent love; he thirsts for the soothing fatalism of “necessity.”

Finally, of course, as I have repeatedly insisted, it is taste, rather than historical evidence, that must dictate whether one elects to see Christ as a creator of values or as an impotent decadent. Again, it is Nietzsche’s aesthetic evaluation – I this case his preference for the form and allure of noble values over Christ’s gospel of love – that remains unassailable. The metaphysical aspects of his critique, which continually float to the surface wherever they are denied, are embarrassing if regarded as anything other than facets of an imaginative narrative, an attempt at a more compelling story, whose appeal is rhetorical, whose logic is figurative, and whose foundation is none. Nietzsche’s disdain does not follow from the force of his reasoning; it is that force. Despite which, certain of his postmodern followers all too often allow the metaphysical within Nietzsche to predominate (quite contrary to their intentions) by taking his narrative of being and his distaste together in such a way that the narrative comes to constitute an assumption that functions all the more pervasively for going unacknowledged: the Heracleitean cosmos is taken as, in some sense, as unproblematic and unarguable truth, and the only alternative to totalizing metaphysics (of which, however, it is a very venerable variety).

In fact, Nietzsche may well be right; there is little in the New Testament, given his tastes, that might favorably compare with Homer – or even with Apuleius. One Gospel story that one can assume, from this quotation, earned Nietzsche’s disdain is that of Peter, hearing the cock crow and, remembering his denial of Christ, going apart to weep. Nowhere previously in the literature of antiquity had the tears of a rustic been treated as anything but an object of mirth; certainly to regard them as worthy of attention, as grave or meaningful or tragic or expressive of a profound human grief, could appear only grotesque from the vantage of a classical, noble aesthetic. There was indeed a revolution, a slave revolt, both in those frightfully subversive tears and in the shocking tastelessness of a narrator so indiscreet as to record them, so vulgar as to view them with anything but elevated contempt. And FNinsanethis is where the battle lines, ruefully to say, between Nietzsche’s narrative and the Christian narrative have been irrevocably drawn. The most potent reply a Christian can make to Nietzsche’s critique is to accuse him of a defect of sensibility – of bad taste. And this, in fact, is the last observation that should be made at this point: Nietzsche had atrocious taste.

The only good German philosopher (ie wasn't a destructive nihilist) was Hamann. It's weird how surrounding Scandinavian and Slavic countries don't produce nihilist filth like Germany does. Compare Kierkegaard to Heidegger, the latter just being an atheistic rip-off of Kierkegaard and ends up inventing deconstruction, believing it essential to de-strukt all major beliefs of western civilization because he thought the Germans could replace it with something better. Fuck Germans.

What is nietzschean about transhumanism? Where is eugenics being applied today? We are meant to respect weaklings and deformed/mentally ill people, you will go to jail soon for mocking fatsoes. Bodybuilding is badly seem by some researchers today. Trans people will have artificial wombs, faggots can adopt children and pass their buggery forward. Abortion is indeed the only one perhaps having some resemblance to eugenics, but it is still indiscriminate and there will still be healthy people killing their offspring.
> The ruling aristocracy is the western world generally and the western elites particularly. These two layers of "aristocrats" are also the worlds warriors caste (NATO)
There is nothing nietzschean amd warrior like about NATO holy shit. First, NATO is just the product of arms contractors’ lobby for profit. The ruling elite is no aristocracy and does not hold noble values, they are constantly engaging with the masses, manipulating them and lowering themselves to just this enterprise, they are not creating anything, they do not express any artistic spirit at all, they rather express the contrary. But maybe we could discuss about this elite if you cited names, names that are behind the ones I’m aware, hidden.

Nietzsche's work acts as a serious counterbalance to Hegel; the latter takes up historicism as a position that might be rational, and his philosophy sorts out what it might mean if the changes in man's values and ways of thinking over the course of history are rational. Nietzsche plots out the alternative by taking seriously the challenge of relativism.

What's crucial for Nietzsche is that 1) he sees the Enlightenment as a product of Christianity (and Platonism); Christianity's love of truth (understood as love of Jesus /God) exercises that same love of truth upon Enlightenment philosophers, who initially acknowledge their dependency on biblical values. But the move towards science as the proper exercise of the love of truth eventually finds no place for God, and brackets morality formally (since morality won't be found via science), which leads to greater and greater degrees of moral license and room temperature religiosity. This itself leads to only valuing the comforts of technology supplied by science, and so a weakening of spirits and ambitions to do anything great (the great vision of the Enlightenment reduces to some Japanese NEET playing games, collecting comics and cartoons, living to masturbate and eat instant ramen, and Western analogues). Nietzsche's critiques are all about this causal situation. 2) Philosophy, no longer being either skeptical or speculative, has instead become dogmatic again, and the two great questions of philosophy (What is Being? What is the best way of life?) are in danger of being forgotten and replaced with the answers "whatever science says" and "hedonism backed by democracy". So the other part of his project is to inject renewed skepticism and excitement over speculation.

Now, whether he's successful is its own question; his critiques seem to stand on firmer ground then say, his desire to retore an appreciation for the noble and base, which can't really be grounded too strongly in his perspectivism.

Nonetheless, he's a stirring reminder that our tendency to idolize democracy and science isn't coming from a place of having thought through the relevant matters necessarily, and that getting rid of God has consequences for how we're to live if we expect anything better than NEET life or the raging hedonism of serial killers.

Against Christianity: yeah he was, but not against Christ, the retard spammer poster (that’s a pasta in case you dont know) equaled him to marxists, this is so dumb when Marxism is a christian gnostic heresy, they base themselves on the same principle and consciousness.

Lol, the genealogy of morals is the easiest and most coherent of Nietzsche’s works, together with the Birth of Tragedy. They are even quite systematic for a non-systematic, anti-systematic actually, philosopher like Nietzsche. This was the same case with Heraclitus, who did not want the masses to understand him. I agree it is difficult but it converged with what he intended to do and with what his philosophy expresses. No need to give your frustration a sense of objective critique.

I know you are baiting now, but I’ll address it nevertheless. Rationalism is not what is simply rational, have you read any philosophy book in your life before? He is against rationalism, not against reason. Besides, there is aesthetic inquiries and principles that conduct his philosophy. You don’t understand poetry, music, painting, art in general, solely on the basis of discursivity, logical investigations. And his style, the matter here, has nothing to do with what you posted, his style is not “irrational” or against reason or against rationalism, it is simply non-systematic. You could have rationalistic philosophy written in aphoristic style.

during this conversation I have become convinced that I need to read the gay science again and try to organize the aphorisms according to like content because I very much remember being frustrated about trying to follow lines of thought while also sifting through the irony and attempting to understand the context of each fragment with GS more than I did with genealogy. I would say that platos dialogues are slightly better in this instance since the thread of thought are clearly outlined and the reasoning can be followed well enough through the questions being asked. Like plato follows the structure [ask question->get answer->followup question->get answer->expand on original question with new information->statement] then move on to next topic. Where nietzsche is more like [expound on topic a->formulate really good reason for inquiry->question to start inquiry] then 6 aphorisms that are remotely related but not interlinked later [expand even further on direct line of thought with topic a and the question that was asked-> come to answer for question->pose new question]. I can see how that is definitely a kind of labyrinthine way of writing that is not inherent necessarily to aphoristic style (though I do think it is unique to it and possibly an easy accident to be explained in hindsight). I guess what I dont get is that, if you want only a select few to understand your message, why publish a book at all? why not lecture to the types of people you want as your audience? why not start an occult society based on your ideas? what is the point of occulting your ideas if your goal is to spread the truth about how to be happy (like he says is his goal in the gay science. unless that was also just irony that I didnt get)?

Ideas work like waves dispersing themselves through time. Nietzsche knew there would be misinterpretations, but he also knew someone would gain power, strength from it, either as cause effect relation, or a confirmation of a latent strength. He was not worried with some secret spiritual knowledge to be preserved, but with a noble creation in its universal potency, just like art, which unites the subjective and the universal, total reality. Also, remember Nietzsche said his readers must work hard, must suffer and read him correctly (exercising themselves in a way), add to that ''To those human beings who are of any concern to me I wish suffering, desolation, sickness, ill-treatment, indignities... the wretchedness of the vanquished: I have no pity for them, because I wish them the only thing that can prove today whether one is worth anything or not—that one endures.”

fair enough if true.

You realize that he had health problems most of his life, right? And that he eventually succumbed to some neurodegenerative disease like brain cancer? And that he even expected it, because his father died of a similar brain disease? 3 years after writing that letter, he resigned from his professorship because of those health problems. He only even became professor because he wasn't physically fit to remain in the military. In that same year he also flirted with Louise Ott, who was actually receptive to Nietzsche in letters, but Nietzsche didn't push on it because she was already married with kids. In the last years of his life he was so physically ill on a daily basis that he could barely sit up at a desk for longer than several minutes at a time, yet he still produced hundreds of pages of work.

Thanks, anon. I have been very interested in Tocqueville lately, intending to read him soon, but the most posts of the Tocquevilleanon were just repetitions of how Nietzsche was weak, lacked power, building his ramblings on his very frustrations, whereas Tocqueville was serein and thought as one who has power under his reins. There were interesting questions concerning Nietzsche's positions indeed, but nothing of the sort of a cogent dilemma for Nietzsche's part.

Power itself is not something entirely free, as if it were a source of free will. Heraclitus says: ethos anthropoi daimon. And he also says nothing can escape Fate. There is no gotcha here for both Nietzsche and Heraclitus. This is the tragic understanding of life, that we will always be a fragment in totality, that power, like a river, will always flow and run. The tragic separation of the gods and man and the inevitability of strugge, polemos. I really don’t understand how this is a dilemma, seriously.

There must be clarifications before a proper response. What does total mobilisation even mean? By total he means general in the sense I’m thinking of? As I told you, I haven’t read Tocqueville, then I ask you, how does he understand the relation between this mobilisation of power and equality?

Does the question posited in the OP have anything to do with this later response:
>if the total mobilisation for power is entirely a reactionary force following the leveling process, or the will to equality, then Nietzsche's entire philosophy is grounded in that of his most prominent enemy. Beyond this, it is limited in time, which may explain his pathological relation to the Greeks and all of the great men who came before him, and who he would turn against
Does this explain his relation between Nietzsche’s understanding of power and equality and democracy? If so this conclusion is crass and could only be misguided by superficial interpretation or lack of genuine contact with Nietzsche’s writings. First of all, this is not grounded on Greeks, but the Greeks express very well the active power of affirmation and creation. In the Genealogy he gives example of such primeval men, and today we could refer back to the Yamnaya. Secondly, the “reaction” is not its motive force, but as he says, it is the reaction against a reactive obstacle. Deleuze does an excellent job in explaining how reactive forces (resentful and thus negative will, turning against those affirmative wills) make those affirmative wills also reactive.
Anyway, this gives an idea about how things are a bit more intricate than you and that anon of the thread think.

I did read him. Problem is his writing is witty but fundamentally risible. He had a poor grasp of reality, and everything he ideated about was fueled by, ironically, resentment and self-hatred/ He had blinders on the whole time. Imagine thinking Christianity is life-denying while literally exalting an EXTINCT culture as a worthy example to be followed (and a culture that may in fact have never even existed, since his understanding of the ancients was coloured by the anachronisms and misunderstandings of his time). I really can't fathom how anyone can seriously defend Nietzsche's writing. You'd have to not believe your lying eyes to read him seriously. He was basically wrong about everything. Just a clever silly who wrote stupid quips that sound good until you start to pull at the seams and see he's waxing poetic about a universe that just doesn't and has never in fact existed. He really is the archetype for moronic continental philosophy that has no basis in reality -- a mere mesh of fine words that sound good and mean nothing (except by accident, or, even less often, as a 'cryptic' in-joke).

Also, that is precisely NOT what Nietzsche means by "overcoming". You affixed the term precisely at the wrong place. That way, what you imply is that people can just put aside their morals as it's convenient, that this should be the Übermensch. No, I do not think that is what Nietzsche means, first of all because it would be a regression in moral reasoning, people who only follow their morals as far as it is convenient to them, roughly speaking. A sound moral system is precisely one that does NOT need exceptions everywhere, or you should reflect how solid your moral foundations actually are, if you need to break your rules everywhere. Morally corrupt people will make excuses, but moral people break their rules at their peril, and not simply because they fear punishment.

It's like a caricature of Nietzsche:

> Haha! God is dead! Stupid god. Now I do whatever I want!
Immoral people would have done so either way. And people who only act morally out of fear of punishment are not moral at all. That is the core of the metaphor of the Garden of Eden, that people are in an infantilized state before they know of the difference between good and evil. A child is not evil when he tears the wings from a butterfly, because it doesn't know any better. Part of growing up is to know of good and evil. Inability to tell the difference, even in our society, is relegated to children and the mentally retarded - the fool, as in Zarathustra.

In another universe you would have sucked Nietzsche’s dick because you would have heralded his reevaluation of all values which would have lead to a neopagan society ala the third reich, eurasia dominating.
Instead we live in a world where his ideas were taken and used by people from all points, from degenerates to Spengler. Anarchists and so on.
Nietzsche was considered a precursor to nazism and then his image was changed.
>muh christianityyyy
Nobody genuinely believes in it. You don’t. Nobody with serious thought doesn’t, because it bases its validity on claims which are bullshit, and that requires you to create mental gymnastics. You only like its cultural, sociological functions and political functions, among others, not the believability in God.
There is no real christian today, and if there were one which I would have believed in, I wouldn’t have my hand at wearing mixed fabrics. Either you believe it or you bullshit the world into your puppet show.
Christianity is unbelievable. It is a fossil. That’s the point ultimately.
Whatever Nietzsche’s attitude towards it is irrelevant because the point was what we do with this fact that the cat is out of the bag.
Spengler introduced the term second religiousness for a reason. But whatever, if you want to hang someone on the cross for things you dislike about modernity then you do you.
IMO he wanted a society based on ancient Roman values.

If that superficial surface level understanding is what you got out of HUNDREDS of pages of Nietzsche's writing, then it's no surprise there are so many misconceptions about Nietzsche.

Morals are not just arbitrary, they do not fall from the sky. We are not robots who will do whatever is "useful" to them, but psychopaths probably come close to that. It's clear that moral values are not arbitrary or we wouldn't find so many examples that virtually universal and we wouldn't be able to speak about them logically, just like the laws of Physics do not just fall from the sky. You can "make your own mathematics", invent your own symbols, your own axioms, but in the end you will be describing the same thing with other words.

And it's not just about psychological trauma. There are things in this world that can deeply sever you from humanity. You will feel then that morality is not something you just "make up". It's not something you simply do for convenience or for it to "be useful".

So morality is relative to one's standing among humanity, and evil is to become "deeply severed" from that humanity? Certainly, it does sound useful to be moral as one would have a very hard time living as an outlaw. But different clusters of humanity have outlawed different things, and sometimes they condone murder and other times not. So what are these "virtually universal examples" which operate? The taboo against violating corpses? Unfortunately, we know of cannibals, and not just from Italian exploitation cinema!

He wasn't triumphant, but he wasn't depressed about it either. Both these takes are wrong.

In the 20th century Nietzsche would have been into rock music, drugs, and gambling. He would have loved Hollywood and Las Vegas. He would have loved much more about the era than these things, but these things would have definitely been close to him. What would not have been close to him is shit like getting old and retiring, because that's for people who either don't live true to themselves or who have nothing special to live true to. Living loud and dying young is the Nietzschean way.

His Zarathustra is a dancer and a gambler. Nietzsche saw opportunity where others (Schopenhauer) saw misery and ruin. His books are a positive message. Twilight of the Idols and The Antichrist are his "glad tidings." There's nothing depressing. His seriousness is so that future generations can be carefree.

Here the youth was silent. And Zarathustra contemplated the tree beside which they stood, and spake thus:

“This tree standeth lonely here on the hills; it hath grown up high above man and beast.

And if it wanted to speak, it would have none who could understand it: so high hath it grown.

Now it waiteth and waiteth,—for what doth it wait? It dwelleth too close to the seat of the clouds; it waiteth perhaps for the first lightning?”

When Zarathustra had said this, the youth called out with violent gestures: “Yea, Zarathustra, thou speakest the truth. My destruction I longed for, when I desired to be on the height, and thou art the lightning for which I waited! Lo! what have I been since thou hast appeared amongst us? It is mine envy of thee that hath destroyed me!”—Thus spake the youth, and wept bitterly. Zarathustra, however, put his arm about him, and led the youth away with him.

>> No.20361604

And when they had walked a while together, Zarathustra began to speak thus:

It rendeth my heart. Better than thy words express it, thine eyes tell me all thy danger.

As yet thou art not free; thou still SEEKEST freedom. Too unslept hath thy seeking made thee, and too wakeful.

On the open height wouldst thou be; for the stars thirsteth thy soul. But thy bad impulses also thirst for freedom.

Thy wild dogs want liberty; they bark for joy in their cellar when thy spirit endeavoureth to open all prison doors.

Still art thou a prisoner—it seemeth to me—who deviseth liberty for himself: ah! sharp becometh the soul of such prisoners, but also deceitful and wicked.

To purify himself, is still necessary for the freedman of the spirit. Much of the prison and the mould still remaineth in him: pure hath his eye still to become.

Yea, I know thy danger. But by my love and hope I conjure thee: cast not thy love and hope away!

Noble thou feelest thyself still, and noble others also feel thee still, though they bear thee a grudge and cast evil looks. Know this, that to everybody a noble one standeth in the way.

Also to the good, a noble one standeth in the way: and even when they call him a good man, they want thereby to put him aside.

The new, would the noble man create, and a new virtue. The old, wanteth the good man, and that the old should be conserved.

But it is not the danger of the noble man to turn a good man, but lest he should become a blusterer, a scoffer, or a destroyer.

Ah! I have known noble ones who lost their highest hope. And then they disparaged all high hopes.

Then lived they shamelessly in temporary pleasures, and beyond the day had hardly an aim.

“Spirit is also voluptuousness,”—said they. Then broke the wings of their spirit; and now it creepeth about, and defileth where it gnaweth.

Once they thought of becoming heroes; but sensualists are they now. A trouble and a terror is the hero to them.

But by my love and hope I conjure thee: cast not away the hero in thy soul! Maintain holy thy highest hope!—

Thus spake Zarathustra.

>Can you give an example of a misunderstanding he vouches for caused by the historiographical mistakes of his tome?
Here's one: that the early Christian converts were slaves or generally from the lower wrongs of society. This is the kind of 18th century ahistorical mythology peddled by the likes of Gibbons that has long been viewed as grossly mistaken, but which Nietzsche inherited and took for granted. Maybe this (Christian converts being lower class) was true in the first century, especially in Palestine (conforming for example with accounts from the gospels, to the extent that we may view them as historical documents) but by the second century this was clearly no longer the case, and by the 4th century it was pretty much a religion of the Roman elite, which is why Constantine was forced to adopt it. And this has largely been the case ever since. One thing notable about the lower classes is how they always clang to old, non-Christian beliefs, either as such or in a syncretized form. And this is a sociological phenomenon that we got to see over and over again, and still see today, with lower class Africans practising some weird mix of Christianity and local pagan religion, while the upper classes practise the "pure" form of the religion. It's not even a uniquely Christian thing. The same is true of Islam (also clearly evidenced in contemporary Africa), and whatever else.

Christianity actually percolated from the top, by downwards mobility, which was one of the principal phenomena of pre-industrial revolution Europe. Lots and lots of downward mobility, due to the elite outbreeding the rabble and there not being enough elite 'positions' to go around. So the sons of the higher class either started to pick up blacksmithing, or, you know: joined the church.

What makes this view even more preposterous is the fact that Christianity tolerated slavery and serfdom for over one thousand years. So much for Christianity being a religion of the slaves that want to "invert the values of their betters". Nietzsche's understanding of the phenomenon is comically bad, and his cognitive dissonance is bursting at the seems every time he touches the subject.

"God is dead" isn't a lament, that's a misreading just as much as calling it a triumph. It's just a declaration.

There's something clearly good to Nietzsche about the Christian moral system decaying and dying, but it's also dangerous because Europeans are so sedimented into Christian morals they knows no other way.

It's like chopping off the anchor of your civilization, there's a chance your ship will crash into the rocks. It's a danger. However it is also freedom.

That is neither here nor there. And there's nothing uniquely Christian about pacification of society. It's been a perpetual goal of any elite, anywhere. No one wants to rule of uppity trouble makers. You even see that in contemporary non-Christian elite with pacifying (in their intent, if not effect) slogans like "diversity is our strength" and such. Confucianism, the various Hinduisms, even a relatively conquest driven religion like Islam have "pacifying" values. This goes all the way back to pre-history. Richard Wrangham wrote a great book about this, The Goodness Paradox, which has (in my estimation) a pretty cogent hypothesis of human self-domestication through proactive (premeditated and organized) violence. Humans grouping to take out the "big guy" is a phenomenon as old as humanity, and has nothing to do with Christianity per say, let alone moronic made-up dualities like "slave and master morality" propped-up on just-so stories that don't really make any sense.

>As Schmitt said of Nietzsche, 'a deformed visage who penetrates the private priesthood of romanticism, but who, in the end, becomes its sacrificial victim.' One should not confuse this with a willed sacrifice, but of one who is willless and seeks to be destroyed by ever greater power where his being is forever lost. This can be seen in Nietzsche's perpetual polemic, a critical pantheism which begins with a formalistic alliance with the sophists against Socrates, but then progresses to his own friends, his influences, the greats, and finally the Greek masters themselves. All signs of not just a bad character, but one who would be resigned to evil if he were not so weak.

I could also give you another giant blunder of his. which is his thoroughly ahistorical understanding of pre-Homeric Greece and straight up inane speculation based on reinterpretations of various myths or later Greek literature. If I didn't know better I'd say he was a 19th century 4chan schizo who's making things up as he goes along, except he was just impotent and stupid... not unlike the 4chan schizo, so their common ancestor can be found much farther back in time, in the dark pits of forgotten history.

Yes, it was in the very beginning and became more spread progressively, like Basil and Gregory Nyssa were from relatively noble families. But it was in the beginning, and it was absolutely never a religion of elite (in the first centuries, since later everyone will be christian). Constantine wasn’t forced to adopt the religion, he literally wanted to adopt it for political reasons mainly.

> and still see today, with lower class Africans practising some weird mix of Christianity and local pagan religion, while the upper classes practise the "pure" form of the religion
This is false. In Brazil and South America the majority is poor and christian. I don’t think you are right about Africa either, in an interview Chimamanda Ngozi said Africans were just plain christians and didn’t practice african religions.

Also, you just conceded it being true: “in the beginning it was true”. But that’s the whole point. It was not created by and for the masters, but the slave. It will be adopted progressively as degeneration will also take place progressively in an organism. On slavery being allowed, this is the social institution that is accepted as marriage is today, imagine in the future a council condemning marriage in an age where marriage is regarded as oppressive.

And honestly, if Nietzsche was read closely by you, you should know the nature of power and its relations with nihilism, this relation I suspect is one of apophatism and self-negation, which is convenient for the kind of pantheistic metaphysics he proposes, or at least is implicated.
