dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in [email protected], it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Nothing I've read about Nietzsche comes close to capturing the vibe.

He's not a philosopher with arguments you can summarize like say Hume.

It's very readable, there's no real excuse for not having read Thus Spoke Zarathustra

yes Thus Spoke Zarathustra is great. And no, I haven't read it

It's just some guy carrying a dead line dancer on his back, and then dumping him in a tree when he can't be bothered anymore

The fact that he's not methodical or very structured makes him easy to read, and impossible to grasp whether you actually got his point. It's fun philosophy

He writes very beautifully; I wish he did novels.

I've read and studied Nietzsche for over 20 years, first fell in love with Thus Spoke Zarathustra in my youth, I now tell people not to bother.

I thought a lot of people read Nietzsche in high school.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

I did but being in high school most of what I got from it was fuck the rules, make your own

I stayed in a hotel room once that had Ecce Homo on the coffee table.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

I'd rather have that than the Bible, I guess

Ecce on the table Jocko on the radio

Should I bother reading Nietsche?

I feel like it’s time better spent on Hegel or maybe some Frankfurt School thinkers. But a part of me feels irresponsible to not study Nietsche since he inspires so many fascists
