"People are always like "Gen Z are right-wing, Nietzche-pilled, matcha-drinking aspiring finance bros with no personality." But literally that "negative stereotype" is the top 1% of zoomers."
"I'm no professional critic either, but I have a liberal arts degree and know how to spell Nietzsche so"
"Suck ass. Get back to work instead of talking about Rhodesia or Nietzsche nigga"
"Their joyful embrace of human nature, pleasure, and vitality personifies the Dionysian spirit—a profound 'yes' to life in its raw, unfiltered state. The Untermensch, in his pitiful misery, cannot cope with such a display of pure delight and reacts with rage, unable to reconcile his envy with his 2,0"
"This way you could imagine that someone like Marx or Nietzsche came up with the term instead of someone who poses for photos with a raised eyebrow and a wide open mouth."
"The name most conspicuously absent from the list (maybe he's lurking there somewhere and I missed him) is of course Nietzsche. The preoccupation with self-mastery, authenticity, violence, greatness of spirit: it's all there."
"This is how philosopher Brian Leiter (summarising Nietzsche) describes the human predicament: 'For before all of us, and all our loved ones (our dear children, and our beloved siblings and spouses, and our parents and grandparents), and all of these persons dear to our heart enter oblivion, all will"
"When Nietzsche spoke about his favorite pope, he expressed such admiration for Rodrigo Borgia (who had a mistress, bastards and was blatantly corrupt) because he revealed the sham of medieval Christianity and brought back a kind of pagan freedom to Europe, albeit but briefly."
"It's not a coincidence that transcendent modern German artist and thinkers, Novalis, Mann, Goethe, Nietzsche, Marx, etc. were great admirers of Greco-Roman classicism, in some cases yearning for the idealized south."
"research academics who takes taxpayer-funded grants to study if the person reading this right now is racist in a foucauldian way or in a nietzschean way"
"All of your dumb Nietzche or Sartre philosophy does not matter. Cum in pussy and have baby. You're stupid to think of anything else."
"Although one of his solutions was a retreat from the world (the asceticism that Nietzsche hated so much), his "everyday" solution was to focus on aesthetic experience. This aesthetics was the starting point of a variety of life-affirming philosophies from Nietzsche's dance of the Dionysian/Apolloian"
"I'm inclined to agree with Nietzsche's point of view that morality is just a construct for the weak to level the playing fields, most people really just don't seem to truly reflect on anything they do because why should they if they're already satisfied with the way things are?"
"The Nespresso machine was like the iPhone of coffee. If you had a Nespresso machine at one point around 2015 you were posh and cultivated. Today you are a coffee philistine unless you grinding your own coffee and making espresso out of $4,000 La Marzocco machine. Nietzsche speaks about this."
"I think these TikTok trend books like Atomic Habits or like, 5 minute youtube videos explaining Nietzsche to Tech Bros just seem to cater to this neurotic type of person who is obsessed with trying to have full and total control of their lives."
"My favorite is either Nietzsche or Philip K Dick."
"for most of his career he was a Marxist fellow-traveler, and his status as the leading 20th century Nietzschean is almost uncontested (maybe by Bataille and Deleuze)."
"One Nietzschean insight I think people on here would appreciate, is on the poisonous effects of elaborate moral systems over pure aesthetic judgements... I often see people on here wanting to articulate their feelings on events / people aesthetically (this is 'ugly' or 'beautiful') but then falling "
"To me, the Ancient Greek homosexual is closer to being a Nietzchean Superman than any other historical demographic."
"I have my own little hobbies and interests (pilates, knitting, gardening), but it seems like there's nothing about me that keeps men interested like beyond my looks and my body. should i start reading Nietzsche, get bangs or learn about the stock market?"
"I've tried the rational argument route which got me through my nihilist phase. The ideas and concepts shared by philosophers such as Heidigger, Nietzsche or even Sartre and Camus, don't really click for her the way it did for me."
"Nietzsche claimed the plebs were chattel to slave morality. But serfs and chavs alike fuck in hay bales and scratch their crotches in good company. Decorum and Christian virtue have always been purvue of bourgeois pedigree."
"I think nearly every year I have struggled with mental issues and I want to affirm myself more and be less resentful and heal my mental traumas and self learning behaviors. I will go on lake walks daily and journal as therapy a try for once. Anyone else relate? Everyone here seems mentally ill as we"
"I think Nietzsche said something about how when you're young, you look back on your youth as something that's behind you, or you judge an attitude you held, your comportment towards the world, to be callow, in some way a product of youth. Then you look back at that judgement and you see that it was "
"I think of Nietzsche's repeated aphorism from *On the Genealogy of Morals* every time the trad larping puritans on this sub weigh in on sex and call everything 'degenerate.' Like 'Yeah I don't do anal or eat ass because I'm trying to save Western civilization, definitely not because I'm a black hole"
"Between open praise of regime change and open praise of wanton violence against ordinary civilians, what is this building towards? What 'paradise' are the Based Nietzscheans creating?"

"Nietzsche's philosophy is well adapted and score is just out of this world. Call me contrarian but it's 10/10 absolute masterpiece for me this movies deserved better critical reception"
"I don't know, I can't explain it. I can only tell you I've been reading Nietzsche again. I love life and its vagaries, I love people just as they are. I love everything. I think I finally understand that aphorism (aphrosim 276) from The Joyous Science (also known as The Gay Science), which I will qu"
"Like we've had a whole generation of nepo baby TV/screen writers doing tossed off snark by calling stuff like finding Nietzsche illuminating 'rudimentary' or stuff like pondering about the universe 'sounding like a freshman philosophy major smoking pot in his dorm' and I'm wondering if downstream th"
"Since the Death of God, the act of rebellion against previous generations trends toward darkness. The shunning of the old collective unconscious. 'Cool' under the Death is a Great Cleansing of any evidence of him. With no Übermensch on the horizon. Caring and meaning are uncool."
"I understand Nietzsche's state before he died. So broken by modernity he was struck dumb. He tried to warn them. A visage of helpless terror. Too occupied by thought to concern himself with the trivialities of living; moving, speaking. But I believe his mind was free."
"And the two--agency and meaning--suddenly felt like a retelling of Nietzche's idea of a master and a slave morality, respectively."
"There's no way people who are scared off by words like "myriad" and sentences longer than 10 words have read Nietzsche or Hegel or Mark Fisher or Proust or whatever else it is you pseuds have seen on 4chan and understood any of it."
"Our main topic so far has been Nietzsche and all my knowledge abt that has been from skimming Wikipedia pages (which is enough to impress bitches but not good enough against an autistic med student) so I've only barely been able to keep up. Me and him are going to see each other again tomorrow and I"
"Say something semi-controversial...(broads talk) Damn... Nietzsche.... random art words.... (broads talk) Damn.... non sequiter... (broads talk) Damn.... Yeh... Rando alt lit author... Damn."

"Average RS pod twitter user: race realist sedevacantist tradcath reactionary Nietzschean, proud Trump voter"
"do you think self imposed isolation is good, like Nietzsche said, or he and everyone else who says it is just coping struggling to find friends these days, so i thought might as well go full in and disconnect myself from humanity for few months"
"like someone who wanted to be Nietzsche so bad, the equivalent of try hard comments on reddit but like an actual professor/learned gentleman swinging for the fences but not even hitting the ball"
"People correctly identify syphilis as a (likely Aztec) demon that ravaged society (eg. Napoleon, Hitler, Nietzche) but don't realize the same is happening right now with mold."
"Rand was a disciple of Nietzsche as he was understood in early-20th-century Russia"

"Nietzsche's philosophy is well adapted and score is just out of this world."
