Adventures of an asshole

What was it that you said about Nietzsche?

 

A German guy stands in front of the class and talks about World War Two. I got no problem with his thick accent, which makes all T’s sound like Z’s. What I do have a problem with is the fact that he said that Nietzsche’s concept of the “übermensch” was adopted the Nazis.

 

Well that is true. But the/zee German guy failed to mention that it was a misconception urged on by Nietzsche’s sister who was a nationalist. The thing about the übermensch is that it is not about being genetically evolved, it is about being morally envolved and that the individual has the will to power. In other words, the übermensch is a strong emancipated person who strives to become the best he can.

 

Nietzsche would have hated the goosestepping Nazis.
