This is legit?This is why everyone is pushing Anakin-is-good-doh?
>>25632163Nietzsche for sureWhat follows, then? That one had better put on gloves before reading the New Testament. The presence of so much filth makes it very advisable. One would as little choose “early Christians” for companions as Polish Jews: not that one need seek out an objection to them.... Neither has a pleasant smell.—I have searched the New Testament in vain for a single sympathetic touch; nothing is there that is free, kindly, open-hearted or upright. In it humanity does not even make the first step upward—the instinct for cleanliness is lacking.... Only evil instincts are there, and there is not even the courage of these evil instincts. It is all coward ice; it is all a shutting of the eyes, a self-deception. Every other book becomes clean, once one has read the New Testament: for example, immediately after reading Paul I took up with delight that most charming and wanton of scoffers, Petronius, of whom one may say what Domenico Boccaccio wrote of Cæsar Borgia to the Duke of Parma: “è tutto festo”—immortally healthy, immortally cheerful and sound.... These petty bigots make a capital miscalculation. They attack, but everything they attack is thereby distinguished. Whoever is attacked by an “early Christian” is surely not befouled.... On the contrary, it is an honour to have an “early Christian” as an opponent. One cannot read the New Testament without acquired admiration for whatever it abuses—not to speak of the “wisdom of this world,” which an impudent wind-bag tries to dispose of “by the foolishness of preaching.”... Even the scribes and pharisees are benefitted by such opposition: they must certainly have been worth something to have been hated in such an indecent manner. Hypocrisy—as if this were a charge that the “early Christians” dared to make!—After all, they were the privileged, and that was enough: the hatred of the Chandala needed no other excuse. The “early Christian”—and also, I fear, the “last Christian,” whom I may perhaps live to see—is a rebel against all privilege by profound instinct—he lives and makes war for ever for “equal rights.”... Strictly speaking, he has no alternative. When a man proposes to represent, in his own person, the “chosen of God”—or to be a “temple of God,” or a “judge of the angels”—then every other criterion, whether based upon honesty, upon intellect, upon manliness and pride, or upon beauty and freedom of the heart, becomes simply “worldly”—evil in itself.... Moral: every word that comes from the lips of an “early Christian” is a lie, and his every act is instinctively dishonest—all his values, all his aims are noxious, but whoever he hates, whatever he hates, has real value.... The Christian, and particularly the Christian priest, is thus a criterion of values.—Must I add that, in the whole New Testament, there appears but a solitary figure worthy of honour? Pilate, the Roman viceroy.
To regard a Jewish imbroglio seriously—that was quite beyond him. One Jew more or less—what did it matter?... The noble scorn of a Roman, before whom the word “truth” was shamelessly mishandled, enriched the New Testament with the only saying that has any value—and that is at once its criticism and its destruction: “What is truth?...”
>>25632211>>25632216Nietzsche is like the most annoying person in the world lol. I dont even understand how you would come to the conclusion that the new testament is about slave morality or hating anyone distinguished. There is nevrr a single argument made for this, just overemotional assertions
>>25632230>t. Smelly pole
>>25632211>>25632216It's crazy to see how the Nietzschean faction has emerged victorious on the right, to the point that Elon is now posting crypto-Nietzschean memes about the need to transcend the Christian concept of good and evil or what Elon and his ilk call "suicidal empathy". Trump is also no longer even pretending that he governs in the interest of anyone, but only for his own self-aggrandizement and will to power, launching crypto scams, invading countries with no justification apart from resource extraction.
>>25632232Didnt nietzsche say he was a pole in one of his menstrual rants
>>25632173owning something that is theoretically possible worth 1 trillion dollars is not the same as owning something that is worth 1 trillion dollars
>>25632235Yes. I was trying to not be antisemitic
>>25632234Idk Logan Paul thanking Trump for bringing gay rights to Iran is hardly Nietzschean, it more approximates Nero - the scandal of the ruler being as base of the slave enabling the triumph of Christian doctrine according to Nietzsche. As for Musk its kind of amazing that this dork makes such cool cars
>>25632163No, but seriously. Give me some epic fantasy books with this feels, preferably something that feels like Star Wars. Not garbage like Nietzsche and muh Dark Triad. Literally go fuck yourselves.

Everyone itt still owes George an apology btw.
>>25632289Why?
>>25632258Sun Eater series, or Dune.
>>25632298>Sun Eater seriesI had no expectations for modern sci-fi but that one was pretty enjoyable actually.
>>25632163i've never read dune but this feels like sequel-book dune
>>25632300>>25632298>>25632258Skip the first book. You can easily pick up the context without it, and book 1 is a weird publisher-enforced hunger games young adult ripoff while 2+ are more dark space opera like you're looking for.They're not great books but they're entertaining and fit the vibe of OP pic.
>>25632300Murderbot is pretty fun modern SciFi too, though runs entirely on rule of cool. Doesn't take itself too seriously and the "modern sensibilities" stuff isn't plot important it's just sorta there as a result of hippie collective bullshit (and painted as such).
>>25632311are you talking about red rising?
