"Alas, the time is coming when man will no longer give birth to a star. Alas, the time of the most despicable man is coming, he that is no longer able to despise himself. Behold, I show you the last man.
'What is love? What is creation? What is longing? What is a star?' thus asks the last man, and blinks.
The earth has become small, and on it hops the last man, who makes everything small. His race is as ineradicable as the flea; the last man lives longest.
'We have invented happiness,'say the last men, and they blink. They have left the regions where it was hard to live, for one needs warmth. One still loves one's neighbor and rubs against him, for one needs warmth...
One still works, for work is a form of entertainment. But one is careful lest the entertainment be too harrowing. One no longer becomes poor or rich: both require too much exertion. Who still wants to rule? Who obey? Both require too much exertion.
No shepherd and one herd! Everybody wants the same, everybody is the same: whoever feels different goes voluntarily into a madhouse.
'Formerly, all the world was mad,' say the most refined, and they blink...
One has one's little pleasure for the day and one's little pleasure for the night: but one has a regard for health.
'We have invented happiness,' say the last men, and they blink."

You tiger
What is a cage
But something to be destroyed

YES
Tiger, at last ye are out!

It seems to be a pretty commonly held belief that Nietzsche wouldn't have be a Nazi had he lived at that time given his philosophy of affirming life and rejection of the kinds of philosophy which restrict art and reject life. However, given his impulsiveness and contradictory personality, is it possible to imagine Nietzsche advocating for NatSoc in the right circumstances? After all, he and Heidegger had many shared beliefs.

"The wonderful culture of the Moors in Spain...the rare and refined luxuriousness of Moorish life!"

Why does he trigger /lit/ so much?

Why is he such a meme here?
