the übermensch is his solution; have you read anything from him at all?
To create your own morals and to trascend plebs and peasants and kings alike.
His solution was too much to expect of plebs. His autism blinded him. Nihilism is the end.
What if i don't give a shit about anything? Not trying to be edgy, but I seriously don't find happiness in friends or family or browsing Yea Forums, they're all 0 value to me. What do i do then?

The transvaluation of all values, obviously. The death of religion isn't the end of value-making.

If you plonked Nietzsche into the 21st century and asked him who best exemplifies his philosophy, he would point to the average slut on the street. I’m not saying that to attack Neetch, it turns out that women are so retarded that they’re immune to nihilism. He’d probably think their anti-intellectualism is great fun
And what was the solution Guenon came up with ?

>and asked him who best exemplifies his philosophy, he would point to the average slut on the street.
I don't think you've read him... Plus there were already street whores in his time. His point is not that nihilism exists and we should revel in it, but rather that nihilism exists and we should do something about it.
There is no call to action in Nietzsches work, he didnt want the average normie to suddenly "create his own values", matter of fact he thought that the fundemental nature of people was relatively unchangable. The herdsman and the last man were according to Nietzsche stuck in their predicament, hence their failure to listen to Zarathustras warnings. Transvaluation was something that only the Overman could do, and the overman wasnt something someone "became" but something new born in the future entirely.
This whole "create your own values" is american pop philosophy that is found in comics and emraced by hedonists. Dont listen to these retards and read Nietzsche yourself.

Do you know what a strawman is? I'm telling you that Hitler, the man BEHIND the Nazis, the ACTUAL Nazi, didn't misappropriate his ideas. Or can you tell me how he did? Do you even have an idea as to what Hitler himself thought? There's a difference between the thinking Hitler and the speaking Hitler. Being a successful leader requires putting on a show.

I literally never mentioned Hitler. I said the Nazis. If you say the Nazis didn't misappropiate his ideas because Hitler didn't do it then your boogeymen ("postmodernists", neo-Christians, anarchists, Marxists and communists), with an even bigger reason also didn't misappropiate his ideas. You can't have it both ways: you either give some ground and admit that the Nazis also misappropiated his ideas or youd admit that you were wrong and nobody misappropiate his ideas.
I'd presume you're biased and don't care about logic but I want to see what you have to say in your defence.
this kills the christcuck
The Nazis (i.e. Hitler) didn't misappropriate his ideas, and that would have been learned in due time, had they won the war.
why god, why have you abandoned us?
The point is that Hitler was not the only Nazi. And if group needs that only their leader misappropiates ideas from someone then your boogeymen didn't misappropiate anything (your so-called "postmodernists" exist only in your mind, much less have a leader). Also make up your fucking mind. First you say "Nazis =/= Hitler." () and then you say "The Nazis (i.e. Hitler)" (). You change this view according to what fits your argument at the time. Just admit you sympathize with the Nazis.

>This whole "create your own values" is american pop philosophy
it comes from sartre
Nietzsche's "solution" of creating your own values is still meaningless if you cannot transcend a supposedly meaningless world. So true meaning must come from elsewhere. The only true solution is to identify with God and be at peace, all other things are merely temporary tricks. Practicing Nietzschean philosophy in the form of strengthening your ego and dividing yourself against the rest of the world will only harm you, which is why nearly all of his disciples are basically crazy retards for various reasons.
Precog-posting and hexes? Unutterably based.
The content of such a post automatically and retrospectively becomes true.
You misunderstood user, he was arguing that sluts on the street are not nihilistic, rather they're naively dionysian. Think of the average travelthot/festivalthot:
She's actually still full of youthful vitality and always ready to enjoy herself at the expenses of conventional morality, financial restraints and worries about the future. This is no master morality, but still closer to it (and to the Dionysian) than any intellectual trend (a kind of trend Nietzsche warned us about) right now.
But that pop philosophy is cucked, "create your own values" in that mindset actually means "pursue what youe enjoy within the confines of the mainstream American bourgeois morality".
Nietzsche didn't think highly of women, much less street whores, even less to admire them.
See
you'd have to be a complete fucking moron to believe this. the dionysian life is one of theurgy, not of stupid sluts with zero concept of god
Appropriation isn't about what you believe in your heart of heart, it's about the discourse you and behavior you uphold in public. If you're using mock-nietzschean phrasing you're appropriating Nietzsche, regardless of what you actually think about him.
*dyonisiac
Just reproduce capital bro. You now got objective measure of your life´s success.
Dude, what the fuck is your point?
>You change this view according to what fits your argument at the time.
My view didn't change, only the wording of it, because you don't get it and are nitpicking over inane shit not even related to what I'm saying. What I meant by my original distinction was that "the Nazis" is a strawman created by the press / media and what they were really doing wasn't a misappropriation of his ideas at all, but the closest anyone's ever gotten to trying to realize his ideas in a manageable political system.
What do you think they were doing and which of his ideas do you think they were misappropriating? I'm sure your answer to these questions will confirm what I just asserted above. It's already been said what was misappropriated of him from the rest, but you haven't said this at all for the Nazis.
Nobody is talking about admiration here, and to think Nietzsche would value street whores below other women displays a rather non-nietzschean outlook.
He also wrote almost word for word that in due time women could come to be able to do almost anything a man can do.
he's saying that since everything is an emanation of God, everything is god, and therefore your ability to dominate the world is the true measure of your godliness, which is wrong. it is actually your identification and nothing more
You clearly haven't read enough Nietzsche. When talking about anti-semites he said he found their anti-semitism and their resentfulness stupid, but that if they were doing it merely to get the Jews' wealth for themselves, then it was merely common greed, something he could actually respect (iirc he says that in Genealogy of Morals). Having "zero concept of god" or following base instincts wasn't necessarily a bad thing in his book, though it wasn't necessarily the best.
The dionysian life has little to do with theurgy in the neoplatonic sense. It's a particular form of exertion of will, it's less about belief and knowledge and more about vitality and relationship to impulses. Less thinking can actually do you good according to Nietzsche's view.
You haven't understood Nietzsche until you've understood that meaninglessness itself is a value that is being posited. Nihilism is a psychological condition.
>What I meant by my original distinction was that "the Nazis" is a strawman created by the press / media and what they were really doing wasn't a misappropriation of his ideas at all, but the closest anyone's ever gotten to trying to realize his ideas in a manageable political system.

>confusing military power and training with exertion of strength in the Nietzschean sense (cf. Thus Spake Zarathustra "I see a lot of soldiers, but not many warriors")
>asserting the legitimacy of the state in possessing peoples, bodies and minds (Nietzsche: "Everything the State possess, it has stolen")
>confusing obedience to a bureaucratic state apparatus to a return to the primeval and natural (Nietzche: "The State is the coldest of cold mosnters")
>building an entire campaign (and then racial policy) on resent, and calling that affirmation when Nietzsche singled out resent as the epitome of negative (as opposed to assertive) Will to Power
>grounding their regimen on populism, industrialization, and the satisfaction of economical needs (the "socialistic" part of National-Socialism) when Nietzsche was distrustful of the masses
>exalting Germany above all other nations when Nietzsche abundantly mocked the "Deutshland über Alles" mentality (see for instance Generalogy of Morals where he uses that very sentence derisively)
>mistaking the planners-bureacrats of the Nazi regime for the new aristocracy, when Nietzsche's conception of aristocracy was much closer to the French moralist of the XVIIth century
It goes on and on. All the above is either misappropriation of Nietzsche or blatantly contradictory with his thought (and a lot of it is more Heideggerian is a loose sense). The very ideas of "realizing his ideas in a manageable political system" runs counter to the fundamental impulse of Nietzsche's philosophy. If the Nazis had raped his corpse they would not have done much worse.
There is no real philosophical basis for Nazism, at best it's a mix of cherry-picked and badly used nietzscheism plus bogged down heideggerianism plus misunderstood Fichte and a quite a few borrowings from Mussolini.
They're out of the philosophical race but also better for it.

>Are you seriously arguing that the Nazis were a "strawman created by the press / media" but your "postmodernists" are absolutely real?
Yeah, because we actually have the writings of those people to confirm they were full of shit. Have you read Derrida, Lyotard, Baudrillard, Rorty? Or Marxists like Benjamin and Adorno, who were desperate to undermine Nietzsche however they could. Meanwhile, everyone talks out of their ass about the Nazis all the damn time. Like you, who didn't answer my questions.
>Also, Nietzsche's sister (who was a member of the literal Nazi Party) perverted his posthumous publications in order so they could fit Nazism, and then many other Nazis had incorrectly followed such views by the time she died.
This has long since been taken care of. You sound as if you haven't read the man yourself. He wrote, all the time, passages which coherently tie into what the Nazis were planning and doing, none of which support anything the Marxists or the postmodernists tried doing. And I hope I don't have to provide any explanation regarding how neo-Christians and anarchists (who Nietzsche explicitly states are ideologically related) misappropriate him.
absolutely unconcerned with your idea that i haven't read enough Nietzsche, I'm here to say that he's wrong in his analysis, and in the fruit that his philosophical tree has started to bear. I'm not interested in winning an argument within his framework either, I've seen for myself that there is much more to be understood
meanwhile, as far as your actual argument is concerned, even Nietzsche argued that the supposed duality of Dionysus and Apollo needs to be mediated between each other. there isn't anything wrong with having fun, but distortion whole excessive love of the Dionysian on this board in particular is just Satanism for people that are too smart for Satanism. also, meaninglessness of the world is not just a psychological thing, it is more of a metaphysical position. the only point that I'm trying to make is that Nietzsche disregarded that there is a world to be transcended, while better philosophies don't
>that entire list
Again, being a successful leader means putting on a good show for the people. Your failure to understand this is precisely why you point these things out as somehow an indication that they (as in Hitler, their head) were misappropriating Nietzsche. If you wanted to show that they were you'd have to point to what their long term plans were, not their propaganda during wartime. You could focus on such details for men like Borgia and Napoleon, who Nietzsche highly esteemed, and make the same case that they were contradictory to what Nietzsche thought, which should tell you that the process by which you're going about this is wrong.

Sluts aren't immune to nihilism, their whoring is probably even a consequence of it. How would being dumb allow someone to exemplify his philosophy? Nietzsche was a huge advocate of reflection and actual thinking. "Retarded" people who never think are 'programmed' by their culture to think and act in ways that are only injurious to them.

Just starting with this will drastically improve your quality of life. Otherwise you'll spiral into anxiety and depression simply because your lazy and don't gaf.
It certainly does, Nietzsche's philosophy is about not restricting yourself to rationality.
Not happiness, dyonisian life (happiness is for cucks from a Nietzschean perspective).
>which coherently tie into what the Nazis were planning and doing, none of which support anything the Marxists or the postmodernists tried doing.
You'll need a wealth of citations on that. The philosophical heirs of Nietzsche are the "postmodernists" (among others), while the Nazis are the philosophical heirs of nobody. And why do you even mention Adorno? He's a post-Hegelian, he's answering to Hegel and Marx and the greater project of the Enlightenment, not to Nietzsche. He's completely irrelevant here.
We're in a Nietzsche thread, obviously when we're talking about the Dionysian it's implicit that we're using Nietzsche's concept of it. You want to argue that it's a misrepresentation of the actual Dionysian, but it has no bearing on the question of whether the average prole/whore in the street live in way that can be considered in accordance with Nietzsche's philosophy.
>there isn't anything wrong with having fun, but distortion whole excessive love of the Dionysian on this board
Dionysian is about more than having fun, though it can include that in some respect. And this board hasn't been very Dionysian lately, it's evenly split between nihilistic degenerates and stuck up puritains.
And, again, it doesn't matter what the real intentions of the leader are. If you're building an entire propaganda on a misreading of a philosopher, you're misappropriating his ideas, even if you're doing it consciously and with ulterior motives.
>Your failure to understand this
I understand it easily, the problem is you not understanding that it is irrelevant.
> somehow an indication that they were misappropriating
It's not an "indication", it's a textbook example of misappropriation. For the third time, intentions here don't matter. If you steal from someone you've robbed them, having done so with a good purpose in mind doesn't make it any less of a robbery.
> If you wanted to show that they were you'd have to point to what their long term plans were
I showed you their actual policy. Not only the propaganda, but what they implemented once in power. And their long-term plans mostly involved ethnic replacement of most of Europe with people of Germanic origin, with supposedly some form of racial 'aristocracy" on top. So that's ethno-imperialism if you will, something Nietzsche spoke derisively about, particularly concerning Germans.
>that they were contradictory to what Nietzsche thought
None of them claimed to use Nietzsche's ideas, and for Napoleon NIetzsche explicitly said he was a mix of master and slave morality. Your thinking is very imprecise here.
Nietzsche would sometimes speak of consciousness with contempt. If he was an advocate of anything it wasn't reflexion (at best "rumination" as he puts it).
This is you, kike
"Nietzsche would sometimes speak of consciousness with contempt. If he was an advocate of anything it wasn't reflexion (at best "rumination" as he puts it)."
From The Gay Science:
Architecture for Thinkers. An insight is needed (and that probably very soon) as to what is specially lacking in our great cities - namely, quiet, spacious, and widely extended places for reflection, places with long, lofty colonnades for bad weather, or for too sunny days, where no noise of wagons or of shouters would penetrate, and where a more refined propriety would prohibit loud praying even to the priest: buildings and situations which as a whole would express the sublimity of self-communion and seclusion from the world. The time is past when the Church possessed the monopoly of reflection, when the vita contemplativa had always in the first place to be the vita religiosa: and everything that the Church has built expresses this thought. I know not how we could content ourselves with their structures, even if they should be divested of their ecclesiastical purposes: these structures speak a far too pathetic and too biassed speech, as houses of God and places of splendour for supernatural intercourse, for us godless ones to be able to think our thoughts in them. We want to have ourselves translated into stone and plant, we want to go for a walk in ourselves when we wander in these halls and gardens.
I don't think Nietzsche views anything as black and white -- there are benefits and costs associated with thinking, but he definitely wasn't an advocate against reflection.
I stand corrected then, though it looks more like something he'd want for himself and other like-minded than something he advocates in general.
You are very much right about him not thinking in black and white (though thinking in shades of gray is even more anathema to him).
>he definitely wasn't an advocate against reflection
Perhaps consciousness of self-consciousness is a better term. He was very critical of the tendency to put rationality and reflexion above others aspects of life, and he often associated the unhealthiness of the modern age with an emphasis on abstract thought.
But perhaps that's another example of his opposing leisurely, aristocratic practices with tryhard endeavours, "rumination and reflection" rather than "mental laboring'

>The philosophical heirs of Nietzsche are the "postmodernists" (among others), while the Nazis are the philosophical heirs of nobody.
Hitler was in the process of creating a united Europe that would be structurally built from the ground up to systematically combat all forms of racial / ideological homogeneity, exactly what Nietzsche sought (race and ideology being one and the same for him). The Nazis were only exterminating the more rambunctious Jews and were preparing to export the rest of them outside of the country to another place that they would control, and after that was done, they planned to move on and do the same to the Muslims, and then much later the Christians and further and further every possible ideological race one could make distinct. Every other narrative was fabricated by the media, mostly by the English and the aforementioned Jews during wartime.
The postmodernists, meanwhile, ran with their partial understanding of Nietzsche's "there are no facts, only interpretations." It's common among the postmodernists to address matters of society, morality, language, meaning, art, etc.—everything previously analyzed as having an "objective" structure underpinning its effects which must be discovered and theorized—as if there IS NO structure at all. But this is not what Nietzsche meant by that statement; rather, that there IS a structure, and that structure is not limited by the "subject vs. object" formulation which had stemmed from the Christian scientists and scholars. Quantum science adheres to this structure that he saw, and is in the process of theorizing it. The postmodernists didn't fully understand Nietzsche and thought he meant that their imagination was allowed to run wild because the universe is as malleable as their imagination, and we see that they thought precisely that based on what they wrote, and what their successors ended up writing, who now fill up the universities with their art criticism and historical revision that is so debased even random people on the street can see that they are full of shit.
>And, again, it doesn't matter what the real intentions of the leader are. If you're building an entire propaganda on a misreading of a philosopher, you're misappropriating his ideas, even if you're doing it consciously and with ulterior motives.
It 100% matters what the real intentions are because that's the only way you're going to understand what it is they're building. The propaganda is not representing what is being built, it's merely a means—something which Nietzsche was fine with considering he admired Machiavelli's politics and Napoleon's militarism. Do you not understand what it takes to create something? Nietzsche understood it quite well. Creation requires SACRIFICE and it even requires DESTRUCTION AND MALEVOLENCE (see Zarathustra's The Night Song). The sun gives life to all; it also annihilates everything too close to it.
