"The picture was a big deal for you!" No it's a big deal to you because it points out a connection that is obvious to anyone without an agenda. However it was just one example of many that I have noted. "Hitler embraced ALL the things that Nietzsche despised." He certainly did not! In fact he made sure every soldier in his army got copies of Nietzsche's writings, built monuments to him, and had his picture taken as he (Hitler) gazed lovingly at his (Nietzsche's) picture. Did Hitler hand out Bibles? Did Hitler build Churches? Did he have his picture taken while staring lovingly at a picture of Christ?????? Hitler despised Christianity and Christians almost as much as you do. "Nietzsche had been dead decades before WW11." I think you about nine wars off but regardless, I am simply pointing out the continuity of ideas and their inevitable consequence into actions. Nietzsche may have indeed rejected Hitler but he had removed any basis for judging him as a result of his thorough going relativism. He had his "values" and Hitler had his. <<<The truth is that Hitler was squarely and consistently in your (philosophical) camp>>> "I have consistently repudiated EVERYTHING that Hitler stood for and did." Actually all I have seen is that you don't like what Hitler did on a practical level but I am still waiting to see the basis on which you might actually judge his actions to be evil or even wrong in any meaningful sense.
