I'm trudging through "American Nietzsche" while working on a few other things and one thing that the author nails is how Nietzsche has been "processed" through so many different and sometimes diametrically opposed lenses he can represent almost anything to anyone depending on one's interpretation/reading

He didn't inspire them as much as his writings were adopted by certain groups within these ideologies, each with its own interpertation of him.

i'm more and more convinced that he faked his insanity and went into cocoon-mode as soon as public interest became certain. the idea becomes less grotesque if we assume that his relatives and close friends were part of the conspiracy and contributed to the myth. that way he could let the work be endlessly re-interpreted and distributed into all kinds of channels without settling the case himself.

I don't think he would have wanted to shit up the world with his (even fake) blank-faced drooling body.

Nietzsche along with Dostoevsky predicted the rise of totalitarian regimes (Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union) after the death of God.
