>Nietzsche's philosophy is all about affirming life by creating value and overcoming, about revering beauty and fighting back edgy nihilistic/pessimistic (ultimately pretentious) sentiments
>The death of god was ultimately to his regret and he criticizes rationalism
>hurr durr he's edgy and appeals to teens and fedoras!

when will this fucking meme end.

can you actually read the book? It's not supposed to be a criticism of contemporary society, if anything it's drawing parallels to the soviets. If anything it's thought provoking on how bad tyranny can possibly get, and that you should therefore be very wary of authoritarians, not matter how good their intentions seem.

can you not be a dumbass strawmanning pedant? Refute this position: "Life involves suffering, but also periods of no suffering and joy, and I have internally deemed this suffering worth it." It's fucking air-tight, which is why suicide is such a personal choice. Some people think it isn't, some people do. Someone's psychological tolerance for suffering, and how much it affects them could have pretty good variability.
