To read Nietzsche in a non-shamanistic light

...as most people do, is to become one of those who pushes conventional forms of civilisation to a quicker end.

Those who read Nietzsche -- as many fellows do -- as an injunction to get all over the case of women and to give them as hard a time as possible, are not those who have any interest in the longevity of patriarchal project. This is the very project for which they believe themselves to be the vanguard, furthering its ends.

They are prodigal sons of the true patriarchy, taking all of daddy's cash, as well as his good will, and blowing it on a single night out on the town.

All of that misogyny comes at a cost, good fellas. And daddy's bank account, which was built up on the premise of paternalism and societal good will has now entirely been depleted, by you.
