What was this man's belief system? What was he arguing, and advocating for? What did the "ubermensch," or overman, mean in terms of his philosophy? Have you read any of his books?
Why is this easily the most misunderstood and bastardized philosopher in the western canon, and why was he such a genius?
>in the western canon He wasn't, nor did he consider himself as such.
Grayson Myers
Why are you asking so many rhetorical questions? Why do you expect people to even debate you when you've clearly already made up your mind?
That said master morality is pretty based. Granted I think the Nihilism of Stirner was better but Nietzsche is a breath of fresh air compared to Christcucks
Blake Price
Meaning he wasn't the most misunderstood; or isn't part of the western canon?
Michael Martin
Because I'm posing an argument: that most people on Yas Forums don't understand Nietzsche. I'm inviting them to prove me wrong.
Christopher Peterson
In fact, it is more correct to call him the first non-western philosopher since mindnumbing jewish religions conquered Europe. Now, please don't be so much of a brainlet that you believe non-western to be eastern.
William Gray
He may be doing philosophy in a method that represents a clear break from western tradition; but by virtue of being a western man concerned with western culture literally living in the west, he's part of the overall canon, whether he likes it or not.
he became disillusioned with the Germans because they didn't know how to deal with the Jews tactfully, and toward the end of his life, renounced his German-ness and declared himself to be a probable Polack.
Ashkenazi Jews (/ˌæʃ-, ɑːʃkəˈnɑːzi/ ASH-, AHSH-kə-NAH-zee),[18] also known as Germano-Jews Ashkenazi, plural Ashkenazim, from Hebrew Ashkenaz (“Germany”) The traditional diaspora language of Ashkenazi Jews is Yiddish (a Germanic language The term "Ashkenazi" refers to Jewish settlers who established communities along the Rhine river in Western Germany and in Northern France dating to the Middle Ages.[25] Once there, they adapted traditions carried from Babylon, the Holy Land, and the Western Mediterranean to their new environment.[26] The Ashkenazi religious rite developed in cities such as Mainz, Worms, and Troyes. The eminent French Rishon rabbi Shlomo Itzhaki (Rashi) would have a significant influence on the Jewish religion. In the course of the late 18th and 19th centuries, those Jews who remained in or returned to the German lands generated a cultural reorientation; under the influence of the Haskalah and the struggle for emancipation, as well as the intellectual and cultural ferment in urban centers, they gradually abandoned the use of Yiddish and adopted German, while developing new forms of Jewish religious life and cultural identity.[30]
There's a good reason Nietzsche hated germans with a passion.
Yep, exactly. In reality he was probably at least partially German, and he probably realized this, but he was disgusted with his own people by the end and I think his "Polish declaration" was more rhetorical than anything else.

Couldnt agree more, the more somebody hates the germano-jews, the more based that person is.

Jesus Christ is the Beyond-man. God is Himself.

I don't say this to disparage Hitler necessarily; but Nietzsche was ten times the problem-solver Hitler was, he just wrote in a way thats too inaccessible to laymen. His entire focus was on ignoring the Jews and focusing on Eurocentric leadership, empowering European peoples. He recognized that the Jews are only as effective as we allow them to be, by caving to degenerate value systems and allowing a void in European nobility to exist.

Jesus was an Übermensch, but didn´t live long enough to revoke his own teachings
Hunter Brown
See, this user has actually read Nietzsche, because he's basing that off of texts written in The Antichrist.
Nietzsche calls Jesus the "noblest human being," and claims that he didn't have enough time to "mature." Sometimes, though, I think he was talking about the latent potential of the Hebrew people, and that they didn't have enough time to "mature," because Israel got destroyed.
Lucas Sullivan
>by virtue of being a western man He was not. Anglos define "West" as everything not Asian. Germans, Middle-Europeans and Prussians especially, certainly did not.
The "West" is fundamentally a Anglo-supremacist and Christian term that post-World War II has began to encompass all the areas that the allies conquered and later culturally consolidated. Nietzsche was neither an Anglo, nor a Christian, nor a Westerner. In fact, his break with all three of these things is what makes him so unique and ahead of his time. Not since before the Christians conquered Rome has there has been one like him; a philosopher who simply cut through the jewish fog of lies and returned to truth.
This retardation that Nietzsche and Spengler were "Western" and considered themselves probably comes from a single retard who decided to translate Spengler's "Der Untergang des Abendlandes" as "The Decline of the West". Fathom this; "West" for many, and especially Prussians back, then did not mean "Europe+America", but "England, her colonies and France".
Christopher Ortiz
Pretty brazen of you to assume any of the idiots here actually read, let alone Nietzsche.
Matthew Torres
>renounced his German-ness and declared himself to be a probable Polack. If you read select quotes it could seem like that. But he also shits on Poles who live there currently and says they are not like him. That is is how Poles used to be a long time, ie Prussian. You really shouldn't attempt to understand Nietzsche by just reading a few cut quotes here and there instead of all his works. You're bound to get it all wrong and miss both the sarcasm and quips.
Dominic Jenkins
>That is is how Poles used to be a long time, ie Prussian That he is how Poles used to be a long time ago, ie Prussian
Robert Wright
I've read every one of Nietzche's books consistently for 7+ years. I'm not basing it on singular quotes. The man was critical of everything, and it wasn't out of character for him to criticize the same thing he was praising in a different aphorism. He even did this with Germans.
Adrian Jackson
Master/slave morality is just the NPC meme

>but he was disgusted with his own people There wasn't a German people back then, but many smaller countries. What he was disgusted with was the rushed and flawed attempt that sought to unite them all as "Germans". He rejected the artificial attempt to shove an alien and flawed culture down on all people in the area and calling them "Germans". It's a very destructive thing to do, and you do the same when you attempt to classify the peoples of Europe, old and current, as "Westerners"
The reason for why it seems >he was disgusted with his own people is because most people are not aware of this process of having the people in this area adopt the identity "German", because it succeeded.
If you don't know this it would seem Nietzsche is shitting on the current German people, but what he was shitting on was the attempt to classify them all as Germans and handing them a set culture to follow.
Ryan Flores
Don't listen anyone about Nietzsche, just go by yourself, just read him, just drink on the source. Start with Human all too human, he was young and it's amazing how smart he was by this age. >Why is this easily the most misunderstood and bastardized philosopher in the western canon? Bc no one can reach him.
