Is it okay that I like Nietzsche?
I like him for is fair standpoints on the natural foolishness of politics and warfare. I've been reading him with my philosophy tutor every sunday. Although utopia is impossible, we can make the best world we can possible if humans naturally pass aside everything pathetic and violent, and emerge as equals, as geniuses, as heroes, as the Übermensch! I got a little zealous there, but I believe this will happen once we reach the next great steps of evolution.
P.S. He was not a fascist! He hated antisemitism, and he would be appalled by the abhorrent actions caused by the evil idealogy!

Sure.

I like his moustache a lot.

We wouldn't have Superman without Nietzsche, so no one should hate Nietzsche. LOL.

Hating him is like hating Machiavelli.
No one does that.

Sounds like a very normal 'world peace' idea to me. It's easily said than done..

You can like anything you want, but I'd argue Nietzsche got his ideas from his predecessors and there would be a superior form of thought. Nietzsche is not in my domain but I implore you to search for older knowledge

I agree. As long as the ideology isn't about harming people for being different or simply because you like hurting people

Like who you want. He had a few interesting talking points. You may also enjoy Albert Camus and Arthur Schopenhauer.

Dunno. Violence solves many things. Usually permanently.

Inspired by Nietzsche.

I absolutely hate his "That which does not kill us makes us stronger" quote that everybody and their grandmothers are touting.
It`s bs and should read - "That which does not kill us gives us PTSD"

Only in cases of defense, or when necessary. But naturally, it causes more harm then good. (this is in the context of warfare).

which books of Nietzsche are you reading?

Only if you see humanity as beneficial for the planet. Otherwise... Ehh... They can wreck themselves as much as they want.
