Also that his sister and her husband distorted his work for the nazis. Freddy did not go to their wedding because he didn’t want his sister marrying an antisemite. He died before his mother did and left her his estate, including his writing. Then when his mom died, his sister inherited everything.
So in the above Twitter post, claiming “the Jews stole from Nietzche,” is ironic considering it was the nazis who stole from Nietzche.
This also. But I think it says a lot about the fascists’ anti intellectualism that people that claim to espouse Nietzsche’s theory have most likely never read a single word of what he wrote.
Sadly, Nietzsche was palatable to the Nazis regardless of his sister. It’s been awhile since I read any Nietzsche myself (I went through a phase of reading his stuff in college), but IIRC his dislike of antisemetism was primarily because it’s seeing oneself as superior regardless of whether one is a wretch themself. He thought only people who crush their enemies underfoot (and are thus super special boys with noble aristocratic souls) could puff themselves up with such a superiority complex.
