It is psychological passivity that makes people unwell, that causes them to fume and fester and catch social diseases (like racism, sexism and antisemitism).
You look at any passive movement, any reactionary movement, any movement that fails to understand the possibility for social transformation, and there lurks ressentiment, beneath the floorboards. The self justification of passivity is the failure to embrace social transformation.
Fire and brimstone shoot forth wherever social transformation is taking place. However, here it is too hot for germs, diseases and creatures that lurk in stagnant waters, like liver flukes.
It's such a shame that Nietzsche rhetoric concerning "strength" did not amount to most people perceiving this.
Instead "strength" became a code for a reactionary masculinism, justifying the petulant rage of mental two-year olds against the necessary social restrictions imposed by their mummies.
