Ditto to everyone writing here, he’s a whole bag of chips. In a sense, yeah, he was the first radical atheist incel edgelord, but he had his heart in the right place. He saw the hypocrisy and injustice in contemporary society and thought “this is fucked up! If xianity led us here than fuck that shit.” And I really vibe with that. With the Christian slave revolt stuff, it’s kind of reductionist; but the thought experiment is a good one: the Christian virtues (humility, chastity, poverty, etc.) are inversions of Pagan virtues (self-confidence, fecundity, prosperity), and believing that you’re Gods chosen cuz ur a poor, destitute serf probably takes the sting out a little bit. I think his idea of “transvaluation of all values” can jive with Marxism, namely that our world requires flipping the script on what’s ethical, moral, and valuable if we’re going to survive and thrive. Yeah, he’s really big into the “lone super rocking dude against the idiot masses” thing, but I figure that’s cuz he didn’t have a lot of friends, and thought most people were stupid. Also, he probably had debilitating IBS all his life, which kept him bed-ridden for long periods of time. So, when ur reading his stuff, it’s from a guy who’s been stewing on all these ideas while wracked in pain, and then it subsided enough for him to write it all down as quick as possible before he succumbs again.
