  • Fair enough. Like I said, I’m not a Nietzsche expert, I just had never interpreted his writings in a primarily political context, and I had read a decent amount of commentary from people who did claim to be experts that refuted the idea of him having fascist or anti-Semitic leanings.

  • How is this different than the criticism that leftists on Lemmy espouse against modern liberalism?

  • I have read several of his works, and they never struck me as inherently political—more like a commentary on observable sociological structures. I may just not be clever enough to absorb everything, but I had originally interpreted his work as observational rather than prescriptive.

  • I am no Nietzsche expert, but I had always heard that a relative in charge of his estate, who was a fascist, took advantage of him in his old age after his brain had been diminished by syphilis. He wasn’t a liberal or leftist by modern standards, but he also didn’t seem to be a fascist or anti-Semite.

    Here is an article that seems to support this view:

  • Maybe it is net cat weight. Cats combined can’t be over 35 pounds.

  • When has a republican ever let a pesky little law stop them from attempting total domination?

  • Don’t listen to that fool. You are perfectly qualified to care for a cat. I’m probably less qualified than you, and my cats are happy and love me.

  • Two cats aren’t much more work than one cat, and they will entertain each other so there is less pressure on you to play with cat toys every day. Do whatever you want, the cat will be fine, but I just thought you’d like to know that double the cats aren’t double the work.

  • Get a cat. Cats are great. You’ll never want to live without a cat again.

    Source: I have two cats.

  • Ok, that makes more sense. I’ve gotten the “would you still love me if I was fat or disfigured” before, but never an earthworm.

  • What am I even looking at here? Are these earthworms? Do people have problems with big booty Latinas?
