It is kinda wild. I used to read some nihilist folks like Nietzche and my takeaway was to make what you can of nothing and help people when possible. Others just use it as an opportunity to be evil.
Nietzche was definitely not about helping people lol. More like, "wouldn't it be rad if we killed all weak people and races? Also socialists and women too."
Tell me you've never read Nietzsche without saying you've never read Nietzsche
People will get on this site and say literally anything that happens to be rattling around in their head
As someone who has actually never read Nietzsche, but some years ago did a course in college that had him, I have to ask: What is so wrong about Dessalines description of Nietzsche?
My takeaway from the course was that he was sort of a proto-fascist saying that society was divided between the weak and the strong, and if wasn't for certain institutions that "glorify" the weak like the Judeo-Christian religions, the strong would rightfully subjugate the weak.
If that is a wrong view of his work I'm open for other interpretations.
Nietzsche's political views are unclear at best. He often writes hyperbolically and ironically (sarcastically?) so quoting scattered sentences from his works proves nothing.
