I lurk often in the manosphere and I noticed their philosophy is largely 19th and early 20th century based. The idea of TRP, BAP etc being a path to a "superman" is thoroughly rooted in European existentialism. However, in order to truly be a superman in the Nietzschan sense requires so much more than these men have ever given OR will give. Nietzsche himself outlined LVM and HVM in Beyond Good and Evil. Again, LVM and HVM traits are NOT NEW and KNOWN to men. If a man ever tries to wield existentialist philosophy against you to try to convince you of his superiority or whatever, go ahead and fight back.

Nietzsche argues that there are two moralities in society: master morality and slave morality. Slave morality is LVM, and master morality is HVM. Let's see how many dudes who follow TRP, BAP etc are actually just slaves according to one of the founders of their way of thinking.

Slave morality (LVM tendencies):

  • Uncertain of himself
  • Full of pessimistic suspicion ("she's probably a slut/whore" etc.)
  • Condemns men and women along with himself (cynical)
  • Hates the "good" and when the "good" is honored (negging)
  • Persuades himself that happiness is never genuine
  • Believes fear is power

Master morality (HVM tendencies):

  • Believes he has duties towards his peers (is responsible)
  • Has strong friendships (can leave behind envy, exuberance, quarrels)
  • Exhibits long gratitude
  • Believes his cup overflows (wealth based mindset)
  • Honors himself (physically, mentally, spiritually)
  • Knows how to speak and be silent
  • Not made for pity
  • Understands how to honor (a woman, her body, her principles)
  • Revers age and tradition / wisdom ("I only want an 18 year old untouched pure anime virgin" is not in his vocabulary)

As usual, the philosophers that men try to use against us to convince us that we are inferior / deserve to be put in our places would've actually loved FDS.
