Pop philosophy started with this man. I am willing to claim that this man literally looked into the future, saw a bunch of pseuds reading Alain de Botton and smirking at their own presumed intelligence, and decided to jump on that train decades before it started. Now that his time has come, his ""deep"" """""ideas""""" are lauded and protected, and those wanting to know if concepts like the "death of god" are to be taken in a literal, historical, fictional, or otherwise sense are told that they are merely misinterpreting Neechee & that he probably meant something extremely specific and groundbreaking that is too deep for the common man to understand. He must have meant something, otherwise we would not be talking about him so much

Every time I see an interpretation of Nietzsche, someone else says "you're interpreting it wrong". Does anyone actually know what he meant?

He meant that Christian morality is the best morality. Anyone who claims otherwise is simply misinterpreting the text.

i think some of what he's saying is fairly clear, but other topics there may be more room for misinterpretation

He wasn't even really a philosopher. More of an unstructured essayist and aphorist.

>>10041741
Nietzsche isn't actually that vague, he leaves a decent amount of room for interpretation especially in his later works where he's off his rocker but it's not as bad as you'd think from the internet. Online it's just massively exacerbated by the amount of people that haven't read Nietzsche dropping their hot takes gathered from other people who haven't read Nietzsche.

When Zarathustra had spoken these words, he paused, like one who had not said his last word; and long did he balance the staff doubtfully in his hand. At last he spake thus—and his voice had changed:
I now go alone, my disciples! Ye also now go away, and alone! So will I have it.
Verily, I advise you: depart from me, and guard yourselves against Zarathustra! And better still: be ashamed of him! Perhaps he hath deceived you.
The man of knowledge must be able not only to love his enemies, but also to hate his friends.
One requiteth a teacher badly if one remain merely a scholar. And why will ye not pluck at my wreath?
Ye venerate me; but what if your veneration should some day collapse? Take heed lest a statue crush you!
Ye say, ye believe in Zarathustra? But of what account is Zarathustra! Ye are my believers: but of what account are all believers!
Ye had not yet sought yourselves: then did ye find me. So do all believers; therefore all belief is of so little account.
Now do I bid you lose me and find yourselves; and only when ye have all denied me, will I return unto you.
Verily, with other eyes, my brethren, shall I then seek my lost ones; with another love shall I then love you.
And once again shall ye have become friends unto me, and children of one hope: then will I be with you for the third time, to celebrate the great noontide with you.
And it is the great noontide, when man is in the middle of his course between animal and Superman, and celebrateth his advance to the evening as his highest hope: for it is the advance to a new morning.
At such time will the down-goer bless himself, that he should be an over-goer; and the sun of his knowledge will be at noontide.
“DEAD ARE ALL THE GODS: NOW DO WE DESIRE THE SUPERMAN TO LIVE.”—Let this be our final will at the great noontide!—
Thus spake Zarathustra.

those were his values, which he created for himself in an effort to overcome HIMSELF

if you want to overcome youll most likely have some crossover with his values, no pressure though. Hes not threatening you for justification like some other value systems, hes telling you this is what joy looks like, and that needs no justification.

I genuinely cannot which statement is more stupid, each one has achieved its own unique vanishing point or event horizon of retardation.

>>10041741
This mix up is the fault of the left, though there are some ambiguous messages. For example, "god is dead" was a good, simple mantra for jewish leftists trying undermine white Christian society. Also, when you talk bring up Nietzsche and jews, the jews you're arguing with will mention "ressentiment." But Nietzsche actually referred to jews as the main group guilty of it. The understanding of Nietzsche has been tainted by the jewish left so people get confused.

Quite the opposite, blattberg. Nietzsche had a very strong grasp of how jews were the root of the problem as well.
