    I think this weirdo may have read some Nietzche. Calling the people in his ideal society “cruel”, “born to command”, and so on, and clearly meaning that in a positive way is giving off massive Nietzche vibes.

      even then it makes no sense, Nietzche never said cruelty was good?? Like the whole idea Nietzche developped from what I read was that if you’ve got strenght you should use it and enjoy it but he only meant strenght as in, good health, since he himself was frequently ill and often bed ridden. Or maybe im missing something here?

        Thinking the guy in OP read about Master morality and was like “sounds dope, I love power!” and heard how Slave morality values kindness and was like “fitting, I love being cruel as well!” and went from there

        just a blind guess tho

        You’re assuming they read Nietzche’s works and analyzed them, and not took some quote out of the internet because “wow sounds cool bruh”
