Perhaps you are interpreting power as violence, which is not what Nietzsche means, although violence is indeed a way to power for a short time.

I know you are not a christian, but you are debating from "the herd" perspective which is a christian perspective. I was just using the Antichrist as a source against the racist(anti-arab) views you have asserted.

In the so-called war on terror you seem think the "terrorists" are the weak using Nietzche's definitions when the opposite is the case.

As far as the Nazis, like you, they interpreted his words through a lens that fit their worldview and of course with a little help from his sister.

I still do not see how Nietzche would have supported this travesty in Iraq. He would be rooting for the Iraqis to fight against the US for freedom.

BTW--It has been a while and I am enjoying rereading Nietzche.

1. I am not interpreting power as violence at all... violence is a natural result of some uses of power...

2. no, I am explaining what the herd (and the herd is not necessarily christian) is doing. I have not advanced racist anything, I say kill those that would kill us regardless of race, religion or politics...

3. the "weak" are those who cannot stand against the strong...

4. "As far as the Nazis, like you, they interpreted his words through a lens that fit their worldview and of course with a little help from his sister."

like me? another ad homenium and insult... that's 4... and no, I am anything but a national socialist... but that still doesn't address your error about claiming that the ubermensch was an actual end as opposed to being the ideal goal.

5. keep reading and you will see that Nietzsche would not pick sides in the conflict, but he would rejoice in the fact that conflict occurs... the stronger will dominate and the weak shall be erradicated...

any guess on Zarathustra's final "sin"?
