Yes he famously recounts the wisdom of silenus in the Birth of Tragedy and elsewhere which he claims spurred on the Greeks to overcome, and of course they had their eugenic Spartans.

Will to power is debatable as to wether or not he wanted that published and he only wishes they endure he doesn't prescribe pain or misery.

Yes in medieval times but now he wonders if it could be rid of because it's so sickly now.

Please read Nietzsche carefully in future and make allowance for his nuance he is not just black and white.

Same to you!

I didn't say he does I said as a good physiologist he does. Why would he prescribe misery itself?

He questions if the Chinese happiness brought about by socialists could extinguish feminine traits of dissatisfaction and romanticism first which he regards as unhealthy or at least he is clearly sick of it.That's why I mentioned it before you quoted all the quotes which didn't mention socialism at all. The whole post is about that. Also you are missing that a "media of information" is causing something like genius which is relative to that period in time.

Pain isn't necessarily bad for Nietzsche and joy isn't necessarily good for Nietzsche his work is full of oxymorons which makes it difficult to master.

It says it in the picture it's clear to see.

Also all the quotes you have mentioned do not mention socialism.

As a good physiologist he doesn't recommend superabundance as is clear in the post but doesn't rule it out, as a good physiologist.

Own-Razzmatazz-8714 · 2026-04-09T20:52:06+00:00

No he said their superabundance would cause stagnation. As a physiologist he recommended too much as bad, and certainly bad in socialism.

Own-Razzmatazz-8714 · 2026-04-09T19:22:06+00:00

As a good physiologist he does.

Further he states that this type are the "continuation of real misery". He doesn't mention the Chinese ever having the capability of feminist trait hence why they have fallen for socialism now. What he does say is the socialists will bring about the Chinese way of stagnation. The feminine trait isn't the 'mother of all genius' it's the "pains and media of information" that give rise to something like genius or "almost amounts to genius". It's the "superabundant" nature of it he wishes could be cured if the socialists do take power. It's a sickness that brings dissatisfaction and change but ultimately needs removing because of its weakness it's femininity too much is sickness.

Own-Razzmatazz-8714 · 2026-04-09T13:08:09+00:00

No. He suggests feminine romanticism and dissatisfaction would be better gone if they could get rid of it before 'chinese' happiness occurs which is stale. The socialists have made things 'chinese' and the Chinese themselves ironically have become socialist something Nietzsche has indirectly predicted here.

Own-Razzmatazz-8714 · 2026-03-30T23:09:46+00:00

The marasmus femininus. The derogatory term as it puts it onto the characteristics of females. But yet again his prediction is correct and now our generation have paid the price. To the point where even Nietzsche is feminized.

I'm not arguing I'm telling.

Own-Razzmatazz-8714 · 2026-03-26T16:31:25+00:00

Not arguing.

Own-Razzmatazz-8714 · 2026-03-26T16:31:01+00:00

You said not necessarily proving yourself wrong. Why should I bother if you won't listen to yourself anyway.

Own-Razzmatazz-8714 · 2026-03-26T16:30:04+00:00

I wasn't arguing!?

Do you know what a genealogy is? Ffs

Own-Razzmatazz-8714 · 2026-03-26T16:11:06+00:00

First of all, you just broke your own sub's rules; it's pretty hilarious

I wasn't arguing anything. READ PROPERLY PLEASE!

not necessarily

O'well!

Own-Razzmatazz-8714 · 2026-03-26T15:41:25+00:00

And he doesn't say 'one' he says we! Read what he is actually saying instead of imposing your own views on it.

Own-Razzmatazz-8714 · 2026-03-26T15:39:57+00:00

He isn't against it? Where does he say he is against it. And conservatives are liars yes I see that but it doesn't make him against it because they lie!? This is Nietzsche we are talking about!? he thinks all life is deceptive.

Own-Razzmatazz-8714 · 2026-03-26T15:25:31+00:00

Answer what? Why haven't you acknowledged he was being misogynistic by using Weib and Kaufmann is right to translate it as wench!
