A Question

Why does it seem to be that the people who propound philosophies of elitism, such as Nietzsche’s ubermensh or variations and corruptions such as racism, social and intellectually snobbery etc, always appear to be such physically and socially unimpressive specimens? Is it merely an attempt to compensate for their deficiencies?

Oddly, very few women loudly express such theories, at least these days. Is this relevant? Do they have more important things to occupy their minds, or is it because they still are to some extent an “oppressed” group, even if they are a majority?

  1. As it happens i am seven feet tall, totally hairless, and covered in prison tattoos – you’d have to look hard to find a finer example of the ubermensch.

  2. Naturally, I wasn’t talking about you Elberry, you’re my hero. I was talking about the other elitists.
