ORIGINAL: tamaka Each person is responsible for him/herself. But didn't the Jews put all of these evil leftist ideas into people's heads? Anyways, despite the fact you're wrapping it in Nietszche, the idea that left simply wants to coddle people or treat everyone like spoiled children is a straw man. Egalitarianism isn't about pretending everyone is the same, it's about giving everyone equal opportunities-- and NO, society is not currently structured to do so. The weak are actually empowered by the RIGHT, because their policies are the ones handicapping, ostracizing, or otherwise creating negative conditions for strong members of minority groups while aggressively promoting and supporting weaker members of majority groups based on irrelevant qualities such as nepotism, skin color, family connections, religion, etc. You're going on and on about how black people need to pull themselves up and yet Trump's election is largely the result of white working class men who are upset because all of their high-paying low-skill jobs have been taken away by minorities... why don't they just suck it up and fucking ADAPT instead of blaming people who make about a dollar a day in horrible conditions? Why don't you accuse them of having 'slave morality'? It's so bizarre that you don't realize that Trump is where he is because he acted like an authority figure and people gravitated towards that because they themselves are weak. His entire platform, along with that of the white supremacists who love him, revolves around placing irrelevant personal characteristics like 'Americanness' and 'whether or not you vote for Trump' ahead of noble personal qualities like intelligence, industry and ability. You can argue that strong minorities would be successful regardless, but it's telling that immigrants tend to be more successful than American-born minorities-- to me it suggests that the culture is actually toxic in that regard and not being part of it is an advantage.
