Master and Slave Morality

[Anonymous No.17825079]

Nietzsche argued that there were two fundamental types of morality: "master morality" and "slave morality". Master morality values pride and power, while slave morality values kindness, empathy, and sympathy.
Sl𝘢ve mor𝘢lity is the inverse of m𝘢ster mor𝘢lity. 𝘈s such, it is ch𝘢r𝘢cterized by pessimism 𝘢nd cynicism.
How is it so? How could cynicism and pessimism possibly be negative attributes? They are useful in teaching us to be careful when navigating the world, don't they?
If Nietzsche considered the world as being inherently tied with suffering, don't the above attributes help us in lessening suffering?

The conception of master/slave morality is pessimistic, and cynical, in itself.

You wont understand Nietzsche at all unless you understand his primary concern as addressing the dialectic between the West/Europeans and the Jews. I'm not kidding either.
When Nietzsche talks about master morality, hes talking about the Greco-Roman virtue ethics that praised things like self reliance, physical and intellectual excellence, etc because they created a healthy and capable race of beings. Slave morality is the series of ethical value systems that sprung forth as a bitter reaction by the weak against the strong, basically; he argued that this took the form of Judaism and Christianity in the West and that, compared to our original Hellenistic values, the results have been disastrous for us and indeed for mankind.

Please tell me this is a misinterpretation of master/slave morality because this is fucking retarded and I really can't believe that Nietzsche was this narrow minded anymore. I know I should read him myself but I've been avoiding him because of how ridiculously stupid everything I've heard about his beliefs is and it just seems like a waste of time, but surely at a certain point he can't be that dumb and it must be midwits misinterpreting him, otherwise why would he be so popular in the first place?
