Veeky Forums, I would like to have a nuanced discussion with you. This is the only place capable of having them any more. Let's maintain our intellectual honesty and police ourselves while we have this discussion, preferring not to devolve into race debates.
I've been analyzing Ben Shapiro through a "Nietzschean" lens. Specifically, slave versus master morality - neither one being particularly better than other.
See, the paradox I seek to resolve is this: If Ben Shapiro (who is Jewish) should be understandably "part of" the slave morality type, how is his political stance aligned with Traditional American Values (TAV)? And what does this say about the current state of morality in the U.S.?
Please, if you need to refute not someone's argument, but the content of their argument or understanding of Nietzsche (or any mentioned authority) please use citations so we can all understand your criticism.

Well, I would think the big problem with OP's post is that he doesn't know that master slave dialectic is a Hegelian lens, originating in Phenomenology of Spirit.
So, that you understand that as a Nietzschean lens would be the sum of my problem with your post, being the only part that could be considered literary to refute and being such an easy point to refute.

I would like to respond but I wrote out a post in the last thread and then it was deleted. Is this going to stay up?

Explain
How is the Master-Slave Dialectic a Hegelian lens, other than that it is a form of Dialectic? Nietzsche discusses both in false-opposition, that they are both without value.

Sorry about that. This one will stay up.

These are my favorite posts. I love when I come here to have a discussion, and instead of improving one another and seeking to share our understanding or have a meaningful debate, we critique from the standpoint of "I'm clearly more intelligent, therefore I need not apply."
Thank you for your participation. I'm sure your upcoming publication on Buzzfeed "How to win any argument by not participating in it," will be a breath of fresh air in the 5-cent philosophy community.
