> his real allegiance lay with the Dionysian, as his life and work went on to attest I've argued this before but my personal opinion was Nietzsche was primarily concerned with challenging orthodoxy. He felt that people submit to moral authority without really considering why a particular set of principles are favored or from where that authority comes. As such he often played the devil's advocate trying his level best to show that the out-of-favor principles had some real advantages. He often laments that people will misunderstand him and I think this is what he meant. He was working at a higher level of abstraction and knew people would focus on his examples rather than his higher meaning. I don't think he was aligned with the Dionysian as much as he was trying to defend it well enough to show that the Apollonian was no more objectively valid.
