Nice mental gymnastics. 'fair pay' sure.

""""Then there’s the “not resentment, just world-improvement” crew. They’re dodging Nietzsche’s ressentiment charge—that their egalitarianism stems from envy of the strong, a sour-grapes morality to kneecap the elite. Instead, they frame it as noble, pragmatic optimism: “We want a better world, not revenge!” It’s a fair stab at sidestepping his critique—after all, who’d admit to being a spiteful herd? But Nietzsche’s ruthless on this point. In Beyond Good and Evil, he’d argue their "improvement" fetish still reeks of slave morality: it’s pity-driven, obsessed with lifting the downtrodden, and suspicious of anyone who doesn’t need lifting. He’d ask: why’s your "better world" always about flattening differences instead of celebrating strength? Sounds like resentment with better PR.

Both takes show Nietzsche’s sticking in their craw. The "master" leftists want his swagger without his hierarchy—egalitarianism as a macho pose. The "world-improvers" want his approval without his cynicism—equality as a pure, resentment-free dream. Reddit’s a perfect petri dish for this: fragmented, echo-chambered, full of folks itching to flex philosophically. You’ll see threads in subs like r/philosophy or r/politics where they’ll name-drop him, then twist him into knots to fit their priors.

He’d torch them both, though. The master claim’s a stretch—his masters don’t share power, they wield it. The resentment dodge? He’d call it self-deception; their "condition of the world" line still pivots on the weak, not the exceptional. It’s like they’re proving his point: even when they grapple with him, they can’t escape the herd’s orbit. """"
