Fair enough. Like I said, I’m not a Nietzsche expert, I just had never interpreted his writings in a primarily political context, and I had read a decent amount of commentary from people who did claim to be experts that refuted the idea of him having fascist or anti-Semitic leanings.
How is this different than the criticism that leftists on Lemmy espouse against modern liberalism?
I have read several of his works, and they never struck me as inherently political—more like a commentary on observable sociological structures. I may just not be clever enough to absorb everything, but I had originally interpreted his work as observational rather than prescriptive.
I am no Nietzsche expert, but I had always heard that a relative in charge of his estate, who was a fascist, took advantage of him in his old age after his brain had been diminished by syphilis. He wasn’t a liberal or leftist by modern standards, but he also didn’t seem to be a fascist or anti-Semite.
Here is an article that seems to support this view:

I don’t really understand why you think a lot of these things are losing causes. FOSS is the backbone of IT. Anti-car urbanism is common in some areas of the world. Lemmy and the Fediverse have been doing great over the last 2 years. Socialism/leftist ideology is on the rise alongside the fascist takeover—it would have been unheard of to have “the squad” in the 90’s.
So where you see losing, I see slow and steady progress happening alongside capitalist fascism that is trying and failing to stop it completely.
Maybe it is net cat weight. Cats combined can’t be over 35 pounds.
The irony is that if you’d just stolen the hat and stomped it outside, they probably wouldn’t have noticed.

That is definitely a face a person would make after kissing their twin brother.
It’s debatable that it sparks debate.

I'm not affiliated with DBZer0 beyond being an active member, but today I decided it was time to do my part and donate. We all benefit from this place. We all have a haven to share our knowledge and shitposts. If you're reading this, I'm talking to you. Socialism begins at home.
We are seeing IP hawks do more and more to shut down our piracy sites, streaming sites, and even the places we come to just talk about these things. Our safe spaces are made possible by a handful of generous people who spend their money, time, and brainpower to create places where we can come together. They don't have to stand alone. We can have their backs.
You can donate to DBZer0 at the following link, or by clicking the pirate themed coffee mug in the sidebar: https://ko-fi.com/db0
My donation has given me a sense of pride and community. I'll be doing this every month until the wheels fall off. I know some of you will see this and hear the call--now's the time. We owe it to each other.
