Moral subjectivity

@Leaf I do not think debating people via text is a good way to be an apologist.

I'm not trying to be an apologist I'm just wasting time tbh lol

I need to get going soon

But maybe I'll learn something

This struggle between master and slave moralities recurs historically. According to Nietzsche, ancient Greek and Roman societies were grounded in master morality. The Homeric hero is the strong-willed man, and the classical roots of the Iliad and Odyssey exemplified Nietzsche's master morality. He calls the heroes "men of a noble culture", giving a substantive example of master morality. Historically, master morality was defeated, as the slave morality of Judaism and Christianity spread throughout the Roman Empire.

I'm sure there is a way lies can be uplifting. But that isn't Christianity.

Leaf would love ***The Antichrist***

lol

The essential struggle between cultures has always been between the Roman (master, strong) and the Judean (slave, weak). Nietzsche condemns the triumph of slave morality in the West, saying that the democratic movement is the "collective degeneration of man". He claimed that the nascent democratic movement of his time was essentially slavish and weak. Weakness conquered strength, slave conquered master, re-sentiment conquered sentiment. This ressentiment Nietzsche calls "priestly vindictiveness", which is based on the jealous weak seeking to enslave the strong, and thus erode the basis for power itself by pulling the powerful down. Such movements were, according to Nietzsche, inspired by "the most intelligent revenge" of the weak. Nietzsche saw democracy and Christianity as the same emasculating impulse which sought to make everyone equal by making everyone a slave.

I recommend that to ppl who are unsure about Christianity tbh

SLAVE MORALITY

What is that? A film?

it can manifest itself against cultural trends @Hector

its about trajectories and tendencies

AOC racializing climate change

The Geology of Morals is the most accessible and covering a broad range on the morality topic. Though Anti Christi might be a better critique of Christianity.

SLAVE MORALITY

to Nietzsche, you can certainly have Chad Christians, but if they're Chad, they're not really good Christians

The way Eastern Europeans are Chad Christians. They don't take it seriously. It's just a social club.

you can have smaller moral systems and principles within broader contexts and trends

I really don't respect many philosophers after the Enlightenment, including Nietzsche, sorry.

its not that master morality HAS to be opposed to christianity

but it tends to end up like that

"the weak shall inherit the earth"

Christianity should be like Santa Clause where people grow out of it at a certain age.

the "meek"

yeah it has that fundamental outlook

egalitarian

anti-aristocratic

universalizing

Nietzsche is far wiser than most pre-enlightenment philosophers

if you dont appreciate him its your loss

I think the meek will actually inhert the earth though. I think it is more of a prediction

You should actually read his books

I value him way more than any medieval philosopher

tbh you'd have to go back to the ancients to find someone as interesting
