"But what of that, you dicethrowers! You have not learned to play and mock as a man ought to play and mock. Are we not always seated at a great table for play and mockery?"
Nietzsche
You need to back up your comments instead of getting all hurt.
@MrXephyr Good for you to have all quotes remembered and ready to recall. I read only one book, Zarathustra, so far, I will read all of his books in time. The language on the Internet is always a bit on the hostile side, so yes I do get upset at that. And rightly so. Because I am not the type of person who snaps at people for no reason. I offer an honest conversation and am very grateful to anyone who is willing to talk to me with the same respect. By respect I mean treated like equal.
You are not equal in a discussion on Nietzsche if you have only read Zarathustra. Read Beyond Good and Evil or the Anti-Christ and you will see what I'm saying to you. Is it hostile if someone points out a misunderstanding of Nietzsche due to the fact that they've only read one of his books? Maybe you need some "humbleness".
I was quoting Zarathustra, so is it not apt to demonstrate his own thoughts by way of example?
@MrXephyr I love The Last Supper in Zarathustra, it is my most favorite chapter. Maybe I perceive it differently than you do. What I see in it is that he teaches people not to take themselves too seriously, to have more play, more fun, more art and to love animals as equals to humans. The donkey at the dinner table at least what it represents to me is happiness, unconditional love, humor, laughing about oneself and religion, enjoying food, living life to the fullest extend.
@MrXephyr When you said to me "read the biography instead of a few books you didn't understand", you didn't refer to me having only read one because I had not mentioned it yet. To say ...you didn't understand is a put down. Is it not? Did I talk to you like that? Yes? No? I did not talk to you like that. So why are you so horribly hostile to me? Please talk kindly to me. Otherwise I will not reply any further. I read Zarathustra in German. The word >boese< = bad, angry, authoritative.
This story of a mad man walking into the street, towns, cities, nations which except mocked, laughed at, burned, drugged, pilled and ignored, no one has truly understood his importance and his pain except Nietzsche himself. To direct our attention and understand him completely must be the Ultimate Goal of humanity!. to be continued
If his language cannot be understood, his pain and the rest of the madness this Civilization have created for itself so far could be grasped within this Simple Story of Joseph and Jacob. The Attachment of a father, the irresponsible Act of a big brother, the confusions and unleashing of ten Brothers, the fears, anguish and weakness of this Mad Man to be One with the Father, so the result ever drying up the father and the Sadness, Joseph’s ever waiting to seduce the little brother!.
During my teenage years and early 20 somethings this man was the only human being, dead or alive, who had had the same thoughts that I did. He became my obsession. I know I'm not alone. His words and life hold a power that is almost unmatched in human history.
This video is not representative for what Nietzhsche meant. This is so Americanized and to a great extent dumbed down, if you really care about what he thought and how he explained himself go read some of his works -because through this "documentary" you will be lead on false path.
I remember the devestating awakening and shock to my system when I read N. I couldn't escape the demolition of my long held beliefs - he was truly dinamite.
@MrXephyr the overman is just the man who can question his beleifs, feel the nihilism of nothingness, and still say yes to life. not some genetically superior person.
@metric09 True enough, though he did talk politics such as his faith in the rule of aristocratic blood. Being anti-democratic demonstates his attitudes to equality. The very term overman assumes well bred rulers "over" others - the herd or the slaves? The Will to Power is a political statement.
@MrXephyr He never promoted eugenics. He promoted conscience. His goal was to teach to as many people as possible the importance of caring, kindness, respect, humbleness, and the focus on learning. He agreed with Darwin, he was a rationalist, he agreed with evolution, he was against brainwashing, he was pro science. Darwin never promoted eugenics either. We have to be careful not to interpret things into writers. Eugenics is a Nazi idea, not the idea of Darwin or Nietzsche.
Eugenics is an old idea given so-called credibility after Darwin. Nietzsche ran with Darwin, as did many others in the late 19th century. Darwin himself wrote of things later called eugenics. These things weren't politically incorrect at the time. The U.S. brought in the first eugenics laws in the 1920s based on evolutionary concepts.
@MrXephyr Yes, he teaches people about the superhuman. Uebermensch should be translated with Superhuman in my opinion, because superhuman does not sound like a dictator, it sounds more like someone who holds high ethics and has a lot to teach. And that is what he intended. He wanted to wake people up to acknowledge that there is much to learn. His superhuman is humble, highly ethical, giving, caring about all beings equally, and at the same time also being good to oneself.
His ubermensh soars above the herd, wants to rid the world of ethics, is anti-democratic and anti-christian humility, is oligarchical and contemptuous of mediocrity. Humble? Can you give examples?
@MrXephyr Just because he does not like mediocrity does not mean he is not humble. Why would one have to fit in with the populous body in order to be humble? Where does he talk against democracy? He talks about ethics all the time, about helping, giving and love. Zarathustra carries a dead acrobat for miles into the forest to give him a decent burial. He loves his disciples. He tells them to tear his teachings apart, live and learn for themselves and come back as friends.
Nietzsche is well known for his far right anti-democratic ideas, he even went so far as to recommend aristocratic rule through blood. Read a biography instead of a few books you didn't understand. Zarathustra was a parody overloaded with metaphor, like the acrobat who was a victim of his own philosophy who needed burial, not a story about a nice guy who carries dead people.
@MrXephyr Look, I talked very kindly, nice and friendly to you. I do not deserve to be insulted. Is it possible to have a decent and respectful conversation about Nietzsche or do we have to resort to put downs? I was hoping to find a friendly person to talk to. But instead all I seem to get is fucking hate. Zarathustra is not a parody, its a fairy tale full of wisdom. And its not about a nice guy, its about a teacher who teaches conscientious thinking and action. Democracy has failed.
The video gives no evidence in his writing. The Überman is not a conquering of the self; its the ideal man who has possessed power in his "will to power". The man wasnt a nationalist because he believed it wasn't fair to any non- Überman; thus anarchy was his preferred form in which one may procure his will to power. Hitler looked at the universe as his anarchy and the Germans as Überman. Hitler was an accurate Nietzschist.
His writings has the biggest impact for me, I read his book many times during teen age years and it has nothing with nazi and racism, it was translated to Arabic and still being able to remember alot of his magic words that changed my way of thinking for ever, he has realy penetrating mind.
Nietzsche: "I'm not anti semitic, but you only have to compare the Germans and the Jews to appreciate the difference between first and fifth rate. With the Jews the slave revolt in morals begins. Oh, and the descendants of all pre-Aryan populations represent the regression of humanity."
@stilicho2 someone finally not trying to distort nietzsche for their own sake, well done, it tends to be jews who are uber interested in nietzsche and they distort and twist his philosophy so that its unrecognizable, nietzsche was a god!!
nietzsches sister didnt marry a nazi, this narrator is full of shit, his philosophy was one of yes saying but this narrator is trying to say he was negative,these videos are full of lies!!
@NORMANGODS Bernhard Förster was a leading figure in the anti-Semitic faction on the far right of German politics and wrote on the Jewish question, characterizing Jews as constituting a "parasite on the German body". In order to support his beliefs he set up the Deutsche Volksverein (German People's League) in 1881 with Max Liebermann von Sonnenberg.
Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche became a supporter of the German National Socialists in the 30's.
@NORMANGODS So you've pointed out one mistake. Does that discredit the whole video? Justify your position please. Her husband was greatly anit-semitic, and set up Nueva Germania in Paraguay. This was to practice ideas about the superiority of the Aryan race. The declared dream of Förster to create an area of Germanic development, far from the influence of Jews, whom he reviled.
@Sammo1357 Are you the narrator on this video? this video is incorrect, i cant be bothered to type every thing that i think is wrong with it, it doesnt matter.
@NORMANGODS No, funnily enough I'm not. Do not say the video is full of lies, if you're not willing to provide sufficient evidence for your statement. Oh, and also, the narrator was not trying not say he was "negative"
@NORMANGODS I just looked at your channel... It's becoming difficult to comprehend your stupidity. Do you actually think Nietzsche was a "prophet of national socialism"? haha!
@Sammo1357 This video is full of lies and incorrect statements, i didnt make that video, nietzsche was against nationalism and socialism, he was pro european
After Hitler and the National Socialists came to power in 1933, the Nietzsche Archive received financial support and publicity from the government, in return for which Förster-Nietzsche bestowed her brother's considerable prestige on the régime. Förster-Nietzsche's funeral in 1935 was attended by Hitler and several high-ranking National Socialist officials.
You can take anyone's philosophy to absurd lengths. And it's all too easy for even honest people to bring their own prejudices and background assumptions and make them the backdrop to another's philosophy.

The word "homosexual" is more appropriate and accurate than the word "gay".
A person does not need religion, hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important, qualitative differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption.
Homosexual activists, with (complete) support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims and martyrs; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.
@SorBill07 You mean "HITLER SHOULD --HAVE-- KILLED AFRICANS AND NIGERIAN BLACKS." Also, your statement is redundant, as all Nigerian blacks are already Africans. Is there something specific about Nigerians that makes you want to single them out among Africans, all of whom you want Hitler to have killed? Probably not. You are obviously a fucking slope headed moron.
god is dead and always was. >the best way to go against an argument is to make it ridicule< the gay science. hitler did a joke on Nietzsche and yet Nietzsche stands strong unbeated. the parasitism as the only practice of the church seems to be the only psychological patern that has spread to the masses of weak, sickened and corrupted people. which causes all the reactions from believers and defenders of antivital philosophies. the whole paterns have been sought. from winners and losers by Him.
Man.. sorry too say, FN. wrote with Darwin... so thinking that FN was a man who needed a god.. is just stupid... FN only turned insane, because all great men do, at some point, because Brilliance and insanity is not far apart.
The attempt to divorce Nietzsche's work from Nazism is merely an attempt to tame Nietzsche by incorporating him into the bovine catechism of liberal, bourgeois, false consciousness. The inference that Nietzsche would approve of modern Western degeneracy is absurd. Nietzsche would vomit fire into the faces of modern Western liberal hypocrites.
@Vot63 Removing Nietzsche's work from Nazism is not necessarily to place it into the tradition of liberalism. He would disapprove of modern liberalism due to its emphasis on presumption of equality.
He explicitly opposed socialists calling them ''pied pipers'' who would lead individuals astray. Socialism for Nietzsche was another form of collectivism that promotes conformity as did capitalism and religion.
@wodenswisdom Nazism was no more socialist than the Salvation Army is militarist. Nazism was hierarchical, organic and communitarian. It exulted in force, it gloried in martial prowess and upheld traditional ideals of beauty in art music and architecture. What is not nietzschean?
@Vot63 The Nazi's emphasis on conformity amongst the population could not be considered Nietzschean since he advocated individualism and free thought. The culture of military bravery and personal sacrifice came from traditional north European warrior culture rather than Nietzsche. Hierarchy (and the rejection of the false idea of egalitarianism) represent the minority of aspects that came from Nietzsche. The Nazi's inspirations came from many other sources.
@wodenswisdom What is "conformity"? In order to be nietzschean a society would have to conform to principles delineated by Nietzsche. Conformity is part of the natural order of things, birth, life, reproduction and death. You are employing a Judeo-liberal distortion of the meaning of the word "conformity", when you are really referring to discipline, direction and authority.
@Vot63 Conformity means consciously doing everything everyone else does because they do it. A modern example of conformity is aherence 'politically correctness' dogma. My use of the term 'conformity' goes beyond any cultural particularities, and I am not of any ''judeo-liberal'' mindset. If I was I would support the Labour Party or something. If I meant ''discipline,...'' then I would write it. One needs the discipline to remain true to their ideals, such as the preservation of North European...
@Vot63 ...culture and heritage. An individual needs the freedom of mind to see when an authority is going the wrong way as did the Nazis. Because of Hitler many German and non-German people unnecessarily died. The inflexibility created by conformist minds allowed this to happen. Because of this there are millions of less Europeans than there would have been otherwise. As a result our populations are shrinking faster and speeds up the dilution of our European homeland.
I disagree. Our population was growing until the sixties. It has fallen because women prefer Jimmy Choo shoes to children and men prefer internet pornography to sex. In any case, simply pointing out that Hitler lost the war, doesn't prove that Hitler's Germania was not Nietzschean.
@Vot63 Birthrates since the post-war baby-boom is not entirely relevant within this argument. Europe's population would still be higher with the fall in birthrates since the boom because if Hitler had not needlessly wasted European lives then the population change would have started from a higher number. The point is with a Nietzschean attitude of free thought a nationalist would see that Hitler would lead Europe to ruin and not obey his suicidal commands.
@wodenswisdom If Hitler had not vanquished communism within Germany, and had not attacked Stalin, Europe would have fallen to communism. Communism is the apotheosis of every negative, slave instinct driven facet of human nature that Nietzsche denounced. What you are saying is that losing the fight makes you wrong. You take no account of the consequences of not having fought the fight.
@Vot63 Hitler did not have to lead Germany to ruin in order to get rid of communism within Germany. You have to have the shrewdness to know when to fight and when not to in order to achieve ones ends in the long run. Without Hitler Communism/Marxism would have been discredited anyway, and the Allies would have fought the Soviets and the Left in Britain would not be able to take advantage of Hitler's legacy in order to justify the pursuit of nationalists for criticising multiculturalism.
@wodenswisdom Hitler destroyed communism in Germany. Hitler discovered Stalin's plans and preparations for the greatest invasion in the history of warfare. Hitler struck first in a move that doomed Germany but saved Western Europe.
@Vot63 In what sense has Western Europe being ''saved''? We are being overrun by non-European peoples and anyone who opposes the destruction of our indigenous heritage is being violently put down by marxists who use the memory of the nazi's as a justification. If Hitler had not arisen then the marxist/multiculturalists would have no justification for their cultural destruction and they would not have the ability to label nationalists as nazis or fascists.
@wodenswisdom The ongoing process of destruction of European culture is attributable to cultural Marxism. The Marxist threat is by necessity cultural simple because overt, militaristic Marxism, was defeated by Hitler, a man considered by Carl Jung to be an avatar of Wotan
@Vot63 I am not disputing that cultural Marxism is destroying European culture. Hitler never actually managed to defeat militaristic Marxism since the Soviet Union survived the war. My point is that Marxists use the labels ''nazi'', ''fascist'', ''racist'' to smear their opponents. If these terms meant nothing then they could not use them and the focus in our society would be on communists rather than ''racists''. So Marxist would be discredited in our society.
@wodenswisdom Hitler did defeat militaristic communism. Yes, half of Europe was lost to Stalin but after WWII the illusion of communism as a great and noble movement for the uplifting of mankind was shattered. The sleeping giant was awakened and NATO was formed to contain the red menace. Deprived of any means to expand, communism withered and died, only to recrudesce as an appalling cultural onslaught.
@Vot63 Cultural communism is more dangerous than militaristic communism. Militaristic communism is more visible, and Hitler actually failed to defeat it. Militaristic communism actually morphed completely into cultural communism after the fall of the Iron Curtain. NATO or an equivalent would have been formed anyway probably including a Germany without Hitler at the helm. Because of Hitler the Right is seen as the major evil, not communism is it should be.
@Vot63 Without Hitler the Iron Curtain would have not been in place. Eastern Europe was sacrificed by the Allies in order to get the Soviets on the Allies side against the Nazis who had western expansion plans. If the Allies had not fought the Nazis then it would not have been necessary to sacrifice eastern europe. If the Soviets would have tried without the cover of WW2 to expand then the Soviets would have been resisted and marxists would face a similar stigma that nationalists face today.
@wodenswisdom Hitler had no Western expansion plans. All of the conventional History is explicit in confirming Hitler's desired expansion was in the East. If Stalin had attacked a Germany under Wiemar style crumbling democracy he would have achieved total victory in months. All of Europe would have been occupied.
@Vot63 While Hitler's main objective was to destroy Bolshevism in the East he did have a personal hatred of France.
A Nazi regime would not necessarily have had to have Hitler at the helm. Instead he should have been assassinated and the Nazis should have surrendered to the Allies so attention could have been turned to combating Marxism.
@wodenswisdom Only the maverick Patton wanted to stop Stalin, to the others he was kindly "Uncle Joe". The Western allies would have demanded unconditional surrender and the Russians would have been given what they wanted. Hitler was an avatar of Wotan, who could have killed Wotan?
@Soundgarden8497 Across Europe when the realisation that indigenous identities are under threat gets through to an increasing number of people then nationalist parties will grow since this would inevitably, and thankfully, result in a nationalist backlash. Indigenous people in Europe will demand the rights that are being denied us inorder to give concessions to aggressive minorites such as Islam.
I've read that Hitler read a lot of books and that he was a book maniac and whenever he found something he could use, he marked it and transferred it in his ideology. Be careful and do not underestimate the Nazis and their ideology! They were sick in mind but not stupid. That makes them and their ideology still so dangerous. Some of the populisms flirt with elements of it.
Hitler and the Nazis did not only take parts of Nietzsche's work, they also took parts from a lot of other books - mostly and by purpose out of context. For examples was Hitler quite influenced by the writings of Henry Ford (antisemitic elements and introducing mass production in militarization). Why does the anglosaxon world always fingerpoints only to Nietzsche and not e.g. to Ford? What's the reason? The Nazis misused all they could for their sick ideology and invented a lot olone.
He was writing an auto biography at the age of 14! Even than he was a self centered prick with a huge ego which made him go insane in the end, what a hero! Nietzsche is so far only good for young boys in trying to picking up girls with intellectual party tricks late at night, and young academics who want to feel self important like Nietzsche himself most probably did.
@Angloth I've never implied he was an elitist, besides, being an elitist is not necessarily a bad thing if you really are good at something. I just belive he was a self centred prick that went crazy. I can not just read his words and than close my eyes to his actual life. Taken as a whole, not much to talk about, unless you want to impress youngsters with intellectual party tricks to get them in bed by driving them to the edge of madness so that you can experience your little self as mighty :D
@ulutirmik Nietzsche was an elitist, he believed that the weak dominated the strong and that everyone with any intelligence should be aware of this. However, he wasn't self centered. Nietzsche didn't believe in a "self" and has an extensive critique of the Cartesian "I". Nietzsche believed in passion and will which operates above and bellow the level of the "individual". As for his life, what are you talking about?
@Distortion0 Him being an elitist doesn't bother me. But if you start writing biography in the age of 14 you are kind leaning towards self centeredness would not you say? And he may be wise but if if you die of syphilis maybe you are not as wise as not to put your dick inside a filly whore wouldn't you say? And if you stumble upon selflessness, which Buddhism was on it for centuries, and than you go mental, maybe you were not as wise as intellectuals wants us to belive you are wouldn't you say?
@ulutirmik You're taking academic rumors way too seriously. There's no evidence for any of that. Read his books, dismiss his ideas if you like but you're making far too much of what amounts to baseless gossip.
@Distortion0 Fair enough, I admit my ignorance. Yet, those are not beliefs based on academic rumors. Those are my personal conclusions drawn from limited but basic knowledge and perspectives. For example, I belive the man, his work and his death are not three separate things but one big tingly. Like in the case of Freud, it matters how one spends the last years of ones life. It says something about the quality of knowledge one possesses, it is a basic measuring stick to me.
@Distortion0 I've read snippets but admit never a whole book of his. Yet I read of him in different academic settings, and watched several documentaries about the guy to think that it is enough for to come to some general conclusions in light of subjects like anthropology, sociology and history of religions. Sometimes when something smells fishy you don't need to taste it. Yet I had my eyes on Thus Spoke Zarathustra for a long time maybe its time I force read the damn thing.
@ulutirmik Documentaries and edited snippets radically alter the author's message by taking it out of context. Seriously, the Gay Science is not a difficult book to read. Reading snippets and watching documentaries is just a lazy excuse for not having read the guy. You shouldn't start with Zarathustra because it's not intended as an introductory book. The Gay Science or Beyond Good and Evil is much better.
@Distortion0 I have now studied B Good and Evil. It altered my perspectives towards life andtowards Mr N, so thanx. Yet, I think N drowns in dualism while he is desperately tries to rise above it when he writes crap like “All company is bad company except the company of ones equals”. Anyhow, now it’s your turn, please do read the Chinese ancient book of oracle, I Ching, (Wilhelms translation) as a book of philosophy, it’ll make you understand Mr N better, than we may continue if you like.
@ulutirmik Cool! It's pretty common to assert that Nietzsche's critique of dualism isn't complete enough, there's at least some validity to that opinion. I've been meaning to read the I Ching, thanks for pointing out a good translation.
With an all consuming thirst for power, and the abandonment of compassion and love for your neighbour, what you will end up is a decadent and cruel militarist society. That was the fundamental difference between Athens and Rome.
the author who wrote this narration is way off the mark. NEITZCHE WAS AN ANTI-SEMITIC, WOMAN HATING, RACIST, HOMOSEXUAL ATHEIST WHO WENT INSANE BEFORE HE DIED. ....Ummm.....That's your hero?
@y34r im not the norm societies is not the norm....my faith and religion dictate...thats what im basing ethics on....he has no basis....so he has to make this stuff up.....i dump this along time ago!!
Hitler might get some ideas on Nietzsche's philosophy on the competition towards power but I think the NAZI philosophy is quite different from Nietzche's. In fact, in Beyond Good and Evil, Nietzsche's opposition on anti-semiticism is emphasize.
I really hate how the presenter spends so much time divorcing Nietzsche from Hitler. This conformity to the idea that everything related to nazism is evil is the type of shit that nietzsche hated.
Wchich means that the onlly thing left,wchich still is called "Religion" is just a part of old Chritsian culture,not TRUE and STRONG belief in god.Its just something that people feel better,when they say that they are Christian,as they feel stroner when they stick to the tradition.
Nietzche would also hate Comunism.as comunism destroys culture.
He was also right about Gott is tott,as people today talk about the god,but arent scared of him....people say that they believe in him,but if they REALLY TRULLY believed,ALL of them would be scared of him,as he is the mighty one who can do everything.And 90 percent of people in Prison say that they BELIEVE in god.
They wouldnt do anything bad if they trully believed in god,as they would be scared of him.So...faith in god is dead.
@WolfgangAmadeusF Nietzsche did hate socialism/communism. He felt that it involved an individual switching the control of his life from one source of control to another. He emphasised that the individual should be his or her own master.
But the most pathentic thing in Nationalism and antisemitism was Hitler's "theory" that said some funny things about Jews:That all jews are unable to create true culture,and that they can onlly destroy it as they are pure evil.And Nietsche thought that source of all bad culture was Nationalistic Germany,and he wanted to change people;s beliefs at least a litlle,so he wrote his books.
He was a true genius.
Hitler also forget that it were GERMANS that created Comunism.
And Hitler?He was the opposite of Nietzshe.While Catholic antysemites hated jews,but they had Jew-like religion(Christian Religion),Hitler,Atheist antisemite just copied the whole idea of Jews Religion,like some clone weakling.Both jews and Nazis believed that they are chosen race:They were the same,thus they were hating themselfes.
Nietzshe would laugh like crazy when he would see Hitler and his pathentic belief.
My God you're sensitive! OK don't read a biography or any of his books. I don't give a shit.

@metric09 True enough, though he did talk politics such as his faith in the rule of aristocratic blood. Being anti-democratic demonstates his attitudes to equality. The very term overman assumes well bred rulers "over" others - the herd or the slaves? The Will to Power is a political statement.

@MrXephyr He never promoted eugenics. He promoted conscience. His goal was to teach to as many people as possible the importance of caring, kindness, respect, humbleness, and the focus on learning. He agreed with Darwin, he was a rationalist, he agreed with evolution, he was against brainwashing, he was pro science. Darwin never promoted eugenics either. We have to be careful not to interpret things into writers. Eugenics is a Nazi idea, not the idea of Darwin or Nietzsche.

@KennyReddwooddforest
Eugenics is an old idea given so-called credibility after Darwin. Nietzsche ran with Darwin, as did many others in the late 19th century. Darwin himself wrote of things later called eugenics. These things weren't politically incorrect at the time. The U.S. brought in the first eugenics laws in the 1920s based on evolutionary concepts.

MrXephyr 1 week ago
@MrXephyr Yes, he teaches people about the superhuman. Uebermensch should be translated with Superhuman in my opinion, because superhuman does not sound like a dictator, it sounds more like someone who holds high ethics and has a lot to teach. And that is what he intended. He wanted to wake people up to acknowledge that there is much to learn. His superhuman is humble, highly ethical, giving, caring about all beings equally, and at the same time also being good to oneself.

@MrXephyr Just because he does not like mediocrity does not mean he is not humble. Why would one have to fit in with the populous body in order to be humble? Where does he talk against democracy? He talks about ethics all the time, about helping, giving and love. Zarathustra carries a dead acrobat for miles into the forest to give him a decent burial. He loves his disciples. He tells them to tear his teachings apart, live and learn for themselves and come back as friends.

@KennyReddwooddforest
Nietzsche is well known for his far right anti-democratic ideas, he even went so far as to recommend aristocratic rule through blood. Read a biography instead of a few books you didn't understand. Zarathustra was a parody overloaded with metaphor, like the acrobat who was a victim of his own philosophy who needed burial, not a story about a nice guy who carries dead people.

The video gives no evidence in his writing. The Überman is not a conquering of the self; its the ideal man who has possessed power in his "will to power". The man wasnt a nationalist because he believed it wasn't fair to any non- Überman; thus anarchy was his preferred form in which one may procure his will to power. Hitler looked at the universe as his anarchy and the Germans as Überman. Hitler was an accurate Nietzschist.

The word "homosexual" is more appropriate and accurate than the word "gay".
A person does not need religion, hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important, qualitative differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption.
Homosexual activists, with (complete) support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims and martyrs; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.

The attempt to divorce Nietzsche's work from Nazism is merely an attempt to tame Nietzsche by incorporating him into the bovine catechism of liberal, bourgeois, false consciousness. The inference that Nietzsche would approve of modern Western degeneracy is absurd. Nietzsche would vomit fire into the faces of modern Western liberal hypocrites.
Vot63 5 months ago
@Vot63 Removing Nietzsche's work from Nazism is not necessarily to place it into the tradition of liberalism. He would disapprove of modern liberalism due to its emphasis on presumption of equality.
He explicitly opposed socialists calling them ''pied pipers'' who would lead individuals astray. Socialism for Nietzsche was another form of collectivism that promotes conformity as did capitalism and religion.
wodenswisdom 5 months ago
@wodenswisdom Nazism was no more socialist than the Salvation Army is militarist. Nazism was hierarchical, organic and communitarian. It exulted in force, it gloried in martial prowess and upheld traditional ideals of beauty in art music and architecture. What is not nietzschean?
Vot63 5 months ago
@Vot63 The Nazi's emphasis on conformity amongst the population could not be considered Nietzschean since he advocated individualism and free thought. The culture of military bravery and personal sacrifice came from traditional north European warrior culture rather than Nietzsche. Hierarchy (and the rejection of the false idea of egalitarianism) represent the minority of aspects that came from Nietzsche. The Nazi's inspirations came from many other sources.

@wodenswisdom What is "conformity"? In order to be nietzschean a society would have to conform to principles delineated by Nietzsche. Conformity is part of the natural order of things, birth, life, reproduction and death. You are employing a Judeo-liberal distortion of the meaning of the word "conformity", when you are really referring to discipline, direction and authority.
Vot63 5 months ago
@Vot63 Conformity means consciously doing everything everyone else does because they do it. A modern example of conformity is aherence 'politically correctness' dogma. My use of the term 'conformity' goes beyond any cultural particularities, and I am not of any ''judeo-liberal'' mindset. If I was I would support the Labour Party or something. If I meant ''discipline,...'' then I would write it. One needs the discipline to remain true to their ideals, such as the preservation of North European...

@Vot63 ...culture and heritage. An individual needs the freedom of mind to see when an authority is going the wrong way as did the Nazis. Because of Hitler many German and non-German people unnecessarily died. The inflexibility created by conformist minds allowed this to happen. Because of this there are millions of less Europeans than there would have been otherwise. As a result our populations are shrinking faster and speeds up the dilution of our European homeland.
wodenswisdom 5 months ago
I disagree. Our population was growing until the sixties. It has fallen because women prefer Jimmy Choo shoes to children and men prefer internet pornography to sex. In any case, simply pointing out that Hitler lost the war, doesn't prove that Hitler's Germania was not Nietzschean.
Vot63 5 months ago
@Vot63 Birthrates since the post-war baby-boom is not entirely relevant within this argument. Europe's population would still be higher with the fall in birthrates since the boom because if Hitler had not needlessly wasted European lives then the population change would have started from a higher number. The point is with a Nietzschean attitude of free thought a nationalist would see that Hitler would lead Europe to ruin and not obey his suicidal commands.

@Vot63 I am not disputing that cultural Marxism is destroying European culture. Hitler never actually managed to defeat militaristic Marxism since the Soviet Union survived the war. My point is that Marxists use the labels ''nazi'', ''fascist'', ''racist'' to smear their opponents. If these terms meant nothing then they could not use them and the focus in our society would be on communists rather than ''racists''. So Marxist would be discredited in our society.

@wodenswisdom Hitler did defeat militaristic communism. Yes, half of Europe was lost to Stalin but after WWII the illusion of communism as a great and noble movement for the uplifting of mankind was shattered. The sleeping giant was awakened and NATO was formed to contain the red menace. Deprived of any means to expand, communism withered and died, only to recrudesce as an appalling cultural onslaught.

Nietzche, Locke, Hobbes, Rousseau and more are all up there, the modern world should be enlightened by what these people have to offer.

Wchich means that the onlly thing left,wchich still is called "Religion" is just a part of old Chritsian culture,not TRUE and STRONG belief in god.Its just something that people feel better,when they say that they are Christian,as they feel stroner when they stick to the tradition.

Nietzche would also hate Comunism.as comunism destroys culture.
He was also right about Gott is tott,as people today talk about the god,but arent scared of him....people say that they believe in him,but if they REALLY TRULLY believed,ALL of them would be scared of him,as he is the mighty one who can do everything.And 90 percent of people in Prison say that they BELIEVE in god.
They wouldnt do anything bad if they trully believed in god,as they would be scared of him.So...faith in god is dead.

@WolfgangAmadeusF Nietzsche did hate socialism/communism. He felt that it involved an individual switching the control of his life from one source of control to another. He emphasised that the individual should be his or her own master.

But the most pathentic thing in Nationalism and antisemitism was Hitler's "theory" that said some funny things about Jews:That all jews are unable to create true culture,and that they can onlly destroy it as they are pure evil.And Nietsche thought that source of all bad culture was Nationalistic Germany,and he wanted to change people;s beliefs at least a litlle,so he wrote his books.
He was a true genius.
Hitler also forget that it were GERMANS that created Comunism.

And Hitler?He was the opposite of Nietzshe.While Catholic antysemites hated jews,but they had Jew-like religion(Christian Religion),Hitler,Atheist antisemite just copied the whole idea of Jews Religion,like some clone weakling.Both jews and Nazis believed that they are chosen race:They were the same,thus they were hating themselfes.
Nietzshe would laugh like crazy when he would see Hitler and his pathentic belief.
