Nietzsche's writing is often interpreted in terms of pushing things around, but this kind of understanding implies a rather superficial grasp of physics -- and of bio-physics, if I may give a term a slightly metaphysical slant.
I think Nietzsche's writings are best understood in terms of principles of Jiu Jitsu and Aikido. If something annoying is already leaning in a particular direction, you can speed up its demise with a helping hand. I refer specifically here to the existence of patriarchy as well as to some annoying types of leftism such as identity politics.
One should help them along in the directions they are already leaning. One could, for instance, speed the demise of patriarchy by allowing that it is not at all a rational paradigm -- but furthermore that it is not required to understand itself in rational terms in any case. There are those who want to embrace the right to self-destruct for an irrational cause and one should help them by enabling them to embrace the principle of male leadership at any cost.
