Nietzsche because while he could imagine the consequences of us collectively losing God, his genius prevented him imagining what true "banality of evil" looks like, which is your "fascism of the weak".

@Tfmonkey

Dostoyevsky because while he could imagine the consequences of us personally losing God, he never imagined that we as a species have a religious impulse that has to be filled somehow.

He certainly couldn't have imagined the twisted foetus of horror that we have in Wokeism. I think he always believed we would either have religion or nothing, not the worst of both.

> How can we throw off the cruelty and tyranny of the majority of the people in a corrupt democracy?

That's too easy. If you're a member of the ruling "We", you thin the herd and kill everyone. In 2023 there can be no doubt that this is the plan, or that it won't work on significant numbers of the weak and easily led.

The real interesting question is, How does that solution measure up if we backtest it against Dostoyevsky and Nietzsche's philosophy? I think both fail ultimately.

@basedbagel
All that variety and you choose basic? Live a little, get some shit on your bagel or some burns on your dick or go for some piss-bending.

I'll up the ante - this whorehouse is around for one night only.

@Kagekokoro

Is she ever. On the bright side you'll have a shit-eating grin on your face.

@Kagekokoro

Good man, take that shit-bending like a champ.

@Kagekokoro

You can have Toph, but you HAVE to have the shit-bending, it's non-negotiable. Suck it up.

You're in the Avatar Last Airbender universe and you and your buddies find yourself at the best whorehouse in Ba Sing Se.

Which whore do you choose?

@basedbagel

On reflection, this poll is too simple since corporate culture has always been political and inefficient in some way or the other.

Maybe add more options:

"It was Globalism"
"It was the Juice"
"None of the above"

@Tfmonkey

However, Nietzsche had the bossest stache of the two.

He's the clear winner there.

@Tfmonkey

Both have brilliance but I'm firmly Team Dostoyevsky, largely for the reason you stated.

I would go further - the descent into atrocious acts, aka slippery slope - is inevitable and undeniable by now. Had Nietzsche lived long enough to see WWI and the depravity of the 1920's he may perhaps have matured his philosophy to take into account all the things that Dostoyevsky so clearly saw.

Nietzsche could not have written "The Possessed" for instance.

Truth Spoken

"Anyone claiming to help men, psychologically speaking, has an obligation to place their philosophy front & center for men to see.
... practitioners don’t really do that in .. the “mental health” industry. Sometimes they will inform you that they subscribe to feminist theory, which is an admission of their complicity in undermining men and enough reason to view them with disdain." - Paul Elam

The mental health industry is a pit of feminist vipers, don't be fooled by nice tiddies.

You're welcome, happy hunting.

@lastmanstanding
Of course we were lied to. Those of us who saw through it from the start tried our best to warn our friends and family about the many red flags.

Turns out that even family is willing to sell you out to a corrupt govt who labels you a dangerous conspiracy theorist, and some were even happy to give away your bodily autonomy and theirs by force if necessary.

Then there's the professional cowardice & collusion aided by carrot & stick, i.e threats & bribes.

That is the truth.

@lastmanstanding
People are just beginning en-masse to wake up from the fog of mass delusion. And they're pissed.
