NiceGuyNihilist -> My Own Nietzsche-Inspired Aphorism: Think the Man Would Agree? (3/29/2011 8:59:01 AM)

Two weeks ago, I was watching a documentary on Rage Against The Machine when the following thought occurred to me:

A successful rabblerouser is never as much the brother of the populace as he thinks; he distinguishes himself by the very will and ability to rouse a rabble.

He would. I'd imagine his rabble would be christians and anyone defining themselves in relation to the success of others.

I wonder, though, perhaps some people would say that setting yourself unachievable objectives is no in tune with 'will to power' and overcoming human ego.
