Like of the Nietzschan philosophy? So in the case of trump the idea is that his voters like him because he’s different from the “evil” aristocratic class that trump claimed to oppose (eg “drain the swamp”)?
- randomNumber7 1y ago> Like of the Nietzschan philosophy? Yes, but the rest I disagree. I just think that most people (on both political sides) are not really better. If they would be given the position of power they would be corrupted and incompetent too. So in a sense you got what you deserve - and your democracy is working.
- tilne 1y agoHow does it connect back to the Nietzschan philosophy you mentioned?
- randomNumber7 1y agoThe idea that the oppressed would be morally better when given the position of power is naive. They are oppressed because they are already morally corrupted. Otherwise they would rather die for their freedom in the first place. Nietzsche called this slave moral.
