@kdkorte@fosstodon.org And also seen as unworthy. While I'm a fan of Nietzeche's zany works, he was a racist, through and through. (He was also shunned by women, so he held a grudge.) But you're distilling this to perceptions. I don't disagree, but that's a big discrepancy. Is it a question of perception if someone you know suddenly dives head first in a death cult?

@AAKL@infosec.exchange I'm not sure whether Nietzsche's racism isn't overblown, especially given his contemporaries and considering his blatant misogyny. Plus, people tend to take all these philosophers from Voltaire, via Locke and Marx, to Nietzsche too much as instruction manuals instead of extreme thought games. As for the death cult. Even the humanist perspective would allow you to argue that the cult reduces your free choices and should thus be fought.
