Nietzsche was a polemicist. Not a warmonger.

Remember he was a philologist. The study of the historical development and cultural context of language. Literally greek for 'love of words.' The greek word for war was 'polemos.' He believed ideas should be tested in critical combat he called 'war.'

He was deliberately militant and assertive with his writings, and also metaphorical and at times impenetrable. Part of the reason he is renowned as one of the most misinterpreted and butchered philosophers of all time, up to this very day as this sub has demonstrated.

Does anyone suggest when he wrote "God is dead" that he was talking about a robed man in the clouds who had literally passed away like some grandmother?

Or when he wrote "I love only what a person hath written with his blood," it meant he literally used his blood as ink? Or that by writing the Antichrist he was admitting to being...the anti-christ?

He said "wisdom is a woman and only loves a warrior" and "a good war hallows any cause." Part of Nietzsche's conception of the ubermensch involved the conviction unto warfare, or even death, in pursuit of one's will.

I'm sorry but it's simply ghastly to see these trendy political buzzwords like "pro-war" and "incel" (yuck) thrown around by non-critical readers.
