Here are the five main beliefs:

If the image is hard to read:

1.Just as intelligence, a moral sense, aesthetic appreciation, and other factors place humans above animals, some humans are in a very deep sense better than other humans.

2.Society disproportionately benefits from the scientific and artistic genius of a select few. An important goal of government and public policy is to channel their energies in productive directions and leave them free to pursue their missions.

3.As confirmed by modern behavioral genetics, heredity is the dominant force behind human variation.

4.Egalitarian ideology and concerns over what is called “social justice” are primarily driven by ugly instincts, namely envy and feelings of inferiority.

5.While all rational beings must be utilitarians to some degree, everyone has non-utilitarian commitments. The best ones put an emphasis on beauty, freedom, and progress, rather than pleasing supernatural beings, fealty to some “natural” order, the glorification of imagined communities like nations, or equality of outcomes.

(Every time there is a space between the “#.” and letters it messes with the formatting so I have to eliminate the space, so I apologize if it’s hard to read)

    Oh, would you look at that. A chauvinistic rightoid that read barely a page of Nietzsche on his way to “inventing” fascism.

    Where did I see this before…

      Though the nazis did use Nietzsche’s writings as a part of justifying their ideology and there definitely was obfuscation from his sister, Nietzsche himself was quite the reactionary thinker. He very much believed in the idea of class society dominated by European elites (though he doesn’t say it explicitly, it’s hard to wonder what other bourgeoisie/ elite he’s talking about)
