No, you are confused. Please stop backtracking. I want to hear why we need to treat people who are not equals as equals. If insulting me is vital to your argument, include it in your post explaining this. Whatever arguments I have made have been made to get you to this point.

Shouting angrily at the Based Groyper isn't going to get you anywhere

We're not asking you to pretend that people have equal talents or abilities when they really don't. We're asking you to extend equal moral consideration to everybody regardless of their talents.

Why should I do this? I am desperate to hear your argument.

Because, otherwise, Isaac Newton would be the fucking god-emperor of humanity simply because of his superior talent in mathematics, or Michael Jordan would be emperor for life simply because he plays basketball well. Or, otherwise, we would treat children like shit because they haven't fully cultivated their abilities, or the disabled like shit because they can't do what average people can do.

Again, saying that we should treat everybody equally isn't saying that we should pretend everybody is a fucking calculus genius. It's saying that the kids at Sandy Hook weren't worth any less than Isaac Newton just because they weren't as good at math.

In any case, if we're talking Nietzsche, it is typical of slave morality to substitute the values of its master for its own, to negate what makes the masters morality the masters in the first place.
As a blonde beast of passion, it would be beyond me to give respect to "aesthete's". The strong take what they can, and the weak suffer what they must.

there is nothing wrong with this.

or Michael Jordan would be emperor for life simply because he plays basketball well

Basketball players are not outstandingly intelligent people.

Or, otherwise, we would treat children like shit because they haven't fully cultivated their abilities

We already treat children as unequals because they have not fully cultivated their abilities. Not 'like shit', because they still have potential. But I don't really see how this is meant to be an epic btfo. Children are dumb and thus dont get to do things like vote or demand people give them money.

or the disabled like shit because they can't do what average people can do.

This is a circular argument. "We must treat people as equals or otherwise we won't treat people as equals!!!"

You're joking, but Nietzsche didn't really prefer either morality. Nietzsche wanted you to create your own morality as a type of self-overcoming. He also called for a certain type of respect to people who are weaker than you. This is the kind of Proto-Nazi reading of Nietzsche that ruined his reputation for so many decades early on.

The Übermensch combines master and slave morality, the autistic Zarathustras are above the blonde beasts in N's hierarchy. Sorry.

To treat certain notions as inherently absurd without argument is pretty provincial tbh.

Then why is Napoleon to Nietzsche both ubermensch and untermensch, instead of simply ubermensch?

Person A: The law of non-contradiction must be true, otherwise, something could be true and false at the same time, but that is absurd.
Racist frog: Ha! So what you're really saying is, the law of non-contradiction has to be true, otherwise the law of non-contradiction isn't true? What a circular argument!

You should treat me with the perennial respect offered by burly types to aesthetes and aristocrats of the soul.


One cannot declare himself an "aristocrat of the soul" who "deserves perennial respect"; that is pretention and hubris. In the ancient religion of Northern Europe, boasting was honorable insofar as one lives up to the boast. I think an "aesthete and aristocrat of the soul", at the bare minimum, would be able to select or create an original, beautiful and witty nation name, flag, and overall aesthetic, rather than being reliant on stale 4chan memes used without alteration or individual expression.

btw, there is nothing #based about white supremacist ideology. Go listen to the wise and loving words of the Based God, and cleanse your soul of some of that ressentiment and hate.
