It feels like our whole culture is currently running on moral outrage and this deep psychology of grievance. Nietzsche actually called this out over a century ago. He saw the powerless turning their own weakness into a virtue just to flip the script on the strong.
In this salon, @platotes gets into why we've traded noble values for resentment, and how ressentiment is the hidden engine driving our politics today. If you've ever wondered where our obsession with guilt really comes from, watch this.
Yesterday, we kicked off our Nietzsche series with @platotes by dismantling the idea that good and evil are timeless, universal truths. Nietzsche reminds us that our morality has an origin, a motive, and a cost, and we’ve largely forgotten all three.
Are our modern values still serving us, or are we just living in the shadow of this ancient resentment?
Are our values truths, or just a very old revenge? Join host @platotes to investigate Nietzsche’s slave revolt in morality and how resentment reshaped our world. A deeper look at the hidden history of compassion and guilt.

Where did our ideas of good and evil actually come from? Join @platotes for this reading group to investigate Nietzsche’s claim that our values were born from a slave revolt of the heart. A deep dive into the psychology of modern morality.

So irritating that musk’s takeover of twitter has removed ability to paste text!!
Am I doing something wrong? I can see that you've replied to other people in the meantime? Can you at least tell me that you are not going to be interacting with me so I can abandon this attempt to communicate?
