"This is not exactly about TP, I am (temporarily) burned out with TP since
the thesis, but I had to respond to
this. I like Nietzsche a lot, but am I alone in having gotten the feeling
that the more he talks about resentment, revenge, hatred, etc. the more he
is really nodding and winking at us and saying in effect, "don't
take me TOO seriously old boy, I'm really full of the same shit too"?"
Actually, he does say something like (perhaps more than once) that--something to
the effect that you must follow your own way and don't follow anyone else--
including me! It's interesting how the Nazis used and corrupted Nietszche (with
the connivance of his sister), when they were just the sort of people that he
probably would have detested.
