What would he say about the west today?

>> No.15111105

He would say you have killed him, raped his corpse, and mutilated whatever that remained. It pains me to see how his thought was mis and abused so that we could live in our current state. His fate is one much sadder of obscurity and oblivion.

What he said before. Nothing has really changed. He was already describing the future.

he'd say "It's great i can get a kebab or curry anywhere"

He'd say it's going well, but that movements like those of Boris Johnson and Donald Trump are fucking it. I'm not here to say what I think, mind you, but Nietzsche wanted a world government that could speak the same language, and was all for uniting Europe.

Sorry, not a world government, but an united world*
He believed that eventually all the world could have no government at all

I think he would bemoan the fact that, while so many of the values of his age and of the general Christian milieu have been essentially tossed to the wayside, the master-slave dialectic is nowhere close to being overcome.

I’d guess suicide. He would never believe it could get this bad

He would be an ultraliberal capitalist in favor of space colonization today.

Nah, he disdained industrialists like Elon Musk. He would probably think we're getting closer and closer to being last men.

There were no industrialists like Elon Musk during his lifetime. Further, in Human, All Too Human, near the beginning, he makes a good case in favor of the post-industrial, ultraliberal capitalist era:

>Age of comparisons. The less men are bound by their tradition, the greater the internal stirring of motives; the greater, accordingly, the external unrest, the whirling flow of men, the polyphony of strivings. Who today still feels a serious obligation to bind himself and his descendents to one place? Who feels that anything is seriously binding? Just as all artistic styles of the arts are imitated one next to the other, so too are all stages and kinds of morality, customs, cultures. Such an age gets its meaning because in it the various world views, customs, cultures are compared and experienced next to one another, which was not possible earlier, when there was always a localized rule for each culture, just as all artistic styles were bound to place and time. Now, man's increased aesthetic feeling will decide definitively from among the many forms which offer themselves for comparison. It will let most of them (namely all those that it rejects) die out. Similarly, a selection is now taking place among the forms and habits of higher morality, whose goal can be none other than the downfall of baser moralities. This is the age of comparisons! That is its pride--but also by rights its sorrow. Let us not be afraid of this sorrow! Instead, we will conceive the task that this age sets us to be as great as possible. Then posterity will bless us for it--a posterity that knows it has transcended both the completed original folk cultures, as well as the culture of comparison, but that looks back on both kinds of culture as on venerable antiquities, with gratitude.
