>Nietzsche had some natural talent for sarcasm: he could sneer, though he could not laugh; but there is always something bodiless and without weight in his satire, simply because it has not any mass of common morality behind it. He is himself more preposterous than anything he denounces. But, indeed, Nietzsche will stand very well as the type of the whole of this failure of abstract violence. The softening of the brain which ultimately overtook him was not a physical accident. If Nietzsche had not ended in imbecility, Nietzscheism would end in imbecility. Thinking in isolation and with pride ends in being an idiot. Every man who will not have softening of the heart must at last have softening of the brain.

Why did Chesterton have such hatred for Nietzsche?

Chesterton was 450 pounds. Remember when looking at pic related he was 6'4. That gut needs to be seen in the proper perspective of a massively large frame. 450 pounds at least, perhaps going to 550.
This is the guy talking about sins and gluttony btw.
