I think I said enough to demonstrate that Nietsche's influence on fascism and nazim is quite concerning. Besides, Marxism has had a profound effect on western philosophy, social studies, and economics, and probably continues to this day in many indirect and possibly even direct ways. Not including any of the works by Karl Marx or Friedrich Engels is a huge omission in the ops article.
> Plus they were also given copies of the New Testament apparently, so what's that supposed to prove?
Oh Im definitely not saying that the Church (and religion in general) hasnt mind fucked millions of people accross generations and even gave outright support to fascism nazism and their offsprings. Look at the church's relationship with the ustashe regime in croatia and the estado novo in portugal as most obvious examples.
- aguaviva 2y agoI think I said enough to demonstrate that Nietsche's influence on fascism and nazim is quite concerning. I don't think you have actually, but let's give that a rest for now. But if even if you did -- what would that "concern" be?
- medo-bear 2y ago> What would that "concern" be? Would you be concerned if Trump or Putin said that they are Nietzschean ?
- aguaviva 2y agoNo (and I don't see much value in hypotheticals, generally).
- medo-bear 2y agoOk
- aguaviva 2y agoI still don't get what the "concern" is supposed to be. That Nietzsche's worldview was intrinsically fascist (or proto-fascist)?
- medo-bear 2y ago> Nietzsche's worldview was intrinsically fascist (or proto-fascist) Well done for seeing the truth
- aguaviva 2y agoLike video games cause violence, I guess.
- medo-bear 2y agoPhilosophy is written to inform your world view, video games are made for your entertainment. I think if you are a going to base your world view on any video game it is going to be quite concerning. For example if you take Super Mario as your world view you might start consuming shrooms, jumping on enemies heads, and lighting them on fire
- aguaviva 2y agoAnd if you go that route then it's on you, not Super Mario. Or because of anything intrinsic to the latter's Weltanschauung.
