Time to quit your pointless job, become morally ambitious and change the world in c/progressivepolitics@lemmy.world

The only people who can quit their “pointless” jobs in the name of “moral ambition” are those who are lucky enough to not need them in the first place.

The article does say exactly that.

Was Nietzsche MAGA? in c/progressivepolitics@lemmy.world

His politics were idiosyncratic. His beliefs in aristocracy would fit in well with the antidemocratic side of MAGA thought. However he also greatly valued art and, of course, philisophy, so I think he'd be turned off by the philistinism of MAGA.

Overall, he was probably too independent minded to slot in with the cultishness of it all, but I think he'd be MAGA-sympathetic and certainly more critical of the Democrats than of the Republicans.
