Nietzscheanism and Buddhism are not ideologies.

>>8582335

People have a need to identify with something bigger than themselves, and to 'brand' themselves with this 'something.' Psychologically speaking it's identical to the reason people become brand-loyal, or fans of musical acts in a way that goes beyond merely enjoying the music (i.e. wearing the band's shirts and such). It provides people with a shortcut to developing an identity. It further provides social benefits; identifying yourself as belonging to a group improves your standing with other members of that group, which may lead to opportunities for professional and social advancement.

If anyone is wondering, this is in fact a meme post; however, it was inspired by a true story.

Yesterday, in my Philosophy class, my professor claimed Buddhism was both atheistic and humanistic. A student in the same class prior said he was both a Nietzschean and a Buddhist. My autism was triggered and I felt a good meme post would help me vent it.

[Anonymous No.8583342]

>>8583273
>So it's like a Middle Ages economy
Not at all.
The core concepts are a focus on smaller firms, cooperatives, and employee-owned firms over large conglomerates; reduction or elimination of mutuum loans that charge interest; the replacement of contemporary unions with a union system that includes managers and owners; and a focus on more local management and regulation of business.

Big N would loathe /pol/ on numerous grounds like:
• the idea of nationality and nationalism and even culture mattering; Nietzsche renounced his citizenship and never took anoher citizenship, remaining a non-citizen the rest of his life.
• "all antisemites should be shot"
• all of their moralizing

I also feel hemd have a problem with the way they place all the blame for problems in life on others and romanticize psychopaths and hate crimes

Oh also in the Gay Science he makes it pretty clear that those who try to use and gain power in negative ways that harm others actually display a lack of power and that they're always inferior to those who use and gain power in "good" ways

This. I know people like this. They have postures PRETTY similar to a lot of labels but won't recognize it because they want to feel specials or some shit like that.

Why? both of them put self-improvement into the centre of their ideologies.
Neither of them care about silly gods.

I would say they are quite paralel philosophies. The only contradiction is maybe the principle of compassion in Buddhism vs the refusal of slave morality by nietzscheian philosophy. But that one is only seemingly contradictory.
