I just finished Beyond good an Evil..my first Nietzsche- I really enjoyed how much of a smart ass he was, wasn't expecting it. His conclusions were jarring, but hard to argue against. Do any of you Nietzsche nay sayers have any suggestion that give a good contrary argument to beyond good and evil?

>thinks aristocracies are better than liberal democratic societies
Almost but not exactly. He thought liberal democratic society was better in the sense that it makes the aristocracy, which is a certain genetic stock, untouchable. The problem he saw with the past political model of having the aristocracy lord directly over the plebs was that it created deep resentment in plebs for making the division transparent to them. His future philosophers were going to need to be harsher because they were going to have to discover themselves in a liberal democratic society, which was built for their own benefit, but which came with many more blockades.

All Societies need a mighty and worthy Patriciate to maintain their culture. Founded in and guided by both their Higher values and Kinship they present society with higher culture and ideals to prevent the lower ones from descending into materialistic Chaos and spiritual decadence.


The patriciate has been ENTIRELY dismantled in the modern age hence 90% of everybody being a directionless consoomer degenerate that lets simple fads and economic/material fetishisms take and run with the entire fucking culture almost yearly and completely unchallenged.

>>16032957
Yes, there is definitely a Good and Evil in terms of Human Purpose. Nietzsches limit was materialism. He acknowledged the Metaphysical but claimed since it was beyond the physical it somehow didn't matter or wasn't worthwhile to study or apprehend.

Behold, Evola, Hermetic Philosopher Magician.

Stop for a moment and contemplate that beyond the animal nature of Mankind that we do infact hold a higher purpose, one beyond the world of matter.

You just learned why the modern human is disgusting and failed, Now learn where true greatness comes from, it comes from a world beyond time, the world of Tradition, the trusted methods for humans to accumulate themselves into higher stages of being.

If we will agree that embedded in Nature there is the urge for all things, and particularly Man, to ascend towards perfection and eternity (Will to Power), we can THEN agree that our Ultimate goal is in a state of being, not a state of becoming. Becoming is a time bound process by which lower things on the will to power scale attempt to ascend. BEING, and true being, exists beyond time, as the Metaphysical causes are truly the Metaphysical causes, theres no cheating, the thing is in and of itself one with "God". Evola goes leaps and bounds beyond Nietzsche because he was able to work with and describe the patterns and sciences in the metaphysical, Nietzsche was just like "yo this idea is fake and gay cause it's not real" which is useful I guess but doesn't present Humans with any transcendental quality for which we and all things possess in varying amounts. Transcendental meaning qualities that transcend the physical.

Nietzsche was trying to help humanity overcome it's self-bullshitting so we could reach a higher state. Evola does the same but he says with humans great potential to comprehend of things beyond the physical be it truth, law, spirit or purpose, we are inevitably and ought to be working with things beyond the physical. The world of matter is too small for the human.

Long story short, watch these:

Yes, but they need to be hidden. As Nietzsche analyzed history, he realized how the plebs had time and again overthrown aristocracies because they were too transparent, and from that, the plebs always robbed, destroyed, and raped, diluting the bloodlines in the process.

Seriously how do you argue with a cringy 14 year old that contradicts himself and doesn't offer any arguments? This is the intellectual worth of nietzsche. You have to take caring about truth and intellectual honesty as a given for any discussion to be fruitful, nietzsche actively rejects both. To someone like that, theres only violence left, which is the victory that was achieved when the allies btfo the nietzschean germs using strategy based on facts and logic.

You're not hiding classes or distinctions of any type. And if you've forgot we already have a classless society and lo and behold the lowest peoples and now middle peoples are chaotic fucks who hate in every direction.

Oh well, the Dog shits the carpet. What are you gonna annex a fake pavilion on the side of your house with grass flooring to try to trick the dog that he's still in the house?

Would disguising the alpha wolf as the weakling wolf do anything to make the weakling wolf function better or less likely to act out of place? or would that simply fuck up the cohesion of the entire pack?

Plebs like to revolt and be evil dicks, the damage of such an event is controlled by two things

1) first and foremost the Strength of the authority to handle it and maintain order

2) second, how much people of all classes trust or hate the authority

Nietzsche had no purpose, his writing has no consequence, moral, ethical or anything. He did not believe humans were or are or will be on to something, he does not prescribe or script anything and his legacy is an account of states of affairs, not manuals with instructions. Nietzsche is extremely individualistic and against morality/ethics as well as any prescriptive ideas.
Saying "yes there is good and evil" is not a point you can debate against nietzsche, his work is not about there being any good or evil in the first place, and especially not about metaphysics, which he killed for good.
Nietzsche is not about helping humanity and not about overcoming anything, that is why even continental philosophy moved away from metaphysics with post structuralism for example (deleuzian rhizomes can be taken as anti metaphysical) and that is why there are meta-metaphysics movements and ideas, which focus more on philosophy of science. Nothing to do with you throwing the word materialism around and materialism is lazy af. These shifts get continental philosophy away from debating goodness or ethics and get it to discuss epistemology, which is the only remaining grounds on which you can discuss nietzsche and go against some of his ideas. Not what you said about that literal who.

Past societies already tried this. They got fucked sideways by the slave class. There is no authority anymore that is strong enough to fight off the ever-growing and now racially mixed slave class. It's a failed strategy.

Democracy needs precautions in order to truly be democracy, which we don't have in place. Namely, policies that combat majoritarianism, that make all voting mandatory, and that allow minorities to secede from society when they want to need to be instated to make it work. Modern society doesn't hide the distinctions well because it's poorly planned. Right now, all kinds of tyrannies form, destroying the concept of democracy from within. But today, it's still better than the past, because those of similar distinctions can still connect and build sustainable subcultures for their lot, without endangering themselves (unless their advocates are retards).

Find me the Slave revolts in ancient Egypt, Greece and China that were strong enough to warp the culture of the civilization itself. Hell even in Rome, with it's massively complex history, slave and serf revolts happened dozens of times and it didn't change shit until the collapse which was brought about by (SHITTY LEADERSHIP) being unable to manage all the chaos.

You are wrong to say "it's tried and failed" when it clearly shows to be successful when executed properly and even half assed hundreds of times.

There is no successful Democracy or True democracy, Democracy is the same thing as Marxism, whatever these foul ideologies are to be called is irrelevant, they undermine hierarchy and use the weight of lesser and nastier folks to inhibit the existence of higher folks.

Stop trying to patch the veil with your own contrived bullshit when Tradition and Religion has already busted it open for all to see.

This is simply the Kali Yuga, the age of weakest consciousness. Just because at this rate nothing can save us doesn't mean that the lessons of the past become irrelevant.

pretty based quote. Evola is a great follow up to Nietzsche as he has a superior understanding in areas such as Hindu/Buddhist works, Roman Empire, and the Holy Roman Empire.
