Master-Slave-Morality

By saying humility is voluntary, slave morality avoids admitting that their humility was in the beginning forced upon them by a master.

I don't agree with Nietzsche on morality, as it's not a materialist analysis, but still... Seeing people elevate bootlicking to a religion always makes one want to overturn all of ethics. (Not unique to these cases of course, christians did it on large scales.)

I would really highly reccomend using the stanford encyclopedia of philosophy over wikipedia.

https://plato.stanford.edu/archives/win2023/entries/nietzsche-moral-political/

Nietchze's slave morality is more about the weak valuing the conditions and attitudes that naturally arise amongst oppressed people. Its almost the opposite of how you are using it. Slave morality is not deifying the master, but instead creating a morality to inhibit the strong. This is why so many chuddy dudes like him, he essentially says that the weak hold back the strong with their cowardice. The master/slave morality is more similar to something halfway between Marx's religion is the opiate of the masses, and far right ideas of cultural marxism, but without the Jewish cabal pulling the strings from behind the curtain.

The idea of making the position of landlord into a minor deity is much more similar to the divine right of kings, in that ownership of land is divinely ordained, or antebellum pro-slavery Christianity, being a slaver is a necessary and holy thing.

Yes, I know, it's great! Just thought wikipedia might be enough in this case.

Yes I totally agree, it's almost opposite. That's partly why I said I don't agree with the content, just the sentiment. Even as I wrote it, I wondered if someone would pick up on it. I'll put more care into it before posting random associations next time ;)

Nietzsche might not have liked those chuds though.

Well said!

Nice! I wish, I had had more. I'm basically self taught with podcasts and stuff.

Searing hot take. It's normally considered a breakthrough revolutionarily materialist approach to morality.
