    What did I just read?

    Probably some spin-off version of recycled 19th century slander. There was a lot of Nietzsche-Wagner drama at the time and eventually the Wagner camp claimed that Nietzsche's insanity was owed to him being a mentally unstable "chronic masturbator" who caught syphilis from an Italian prostitute. The homosexual part seems new, though.

    This was probably 'discovered' in the 70s, that's when the 'discovery' that the ancient Greeks and Romans were actually all gay and paedophiles was made.

      Id be interested in reading that if you have a good source. I know that Freddy had a massive sperg fit over the Christian themes in I think Lohengrin -- our learned friends here remind me of him-- and that there was always speculation about his syphilis but I've never read about the homosexual allegations.

        That book's thesis doesn't make any sense because if it was true Nietzsche would be advocating for slave morality, not attacking it.

          Nietzsche made a point about what he calls slave morality. The fact he decided to identify such morality with the core institutionalised morality of his time, christianism, is another point. While christianism do have compassion elements - as every religion not made by some psycho - doesn't really show itself as particularly peaceful one through the history.

          There is no contradiction here. Master morality means valuing personal dignity and greatness, slave morality means valuing that which benefits the weak. The most violent and aggressive group in America right now are leftist "anarchists" who want everyone to grovel before their "social" values. The concept of slave morality does not refer to an inability to act, it refers to identifying with the weak, placing the cause of the weak over the cause of the noble and then justifying action on that basis. I can't see what's so hard to understand about this.

            My point is that if he really was gay and resented Christianity because of it, his arguments against it would be slave morality as well, but he didn't do that. None of his arguments against Christianity come even close to suggesting that he was gay.

            Also, what on Earth makes you think I don't know Evola?

                the fact that he was gay

                It's not a fact.
