We are definitely at war with the Left and it is better to profile them although I suspect that we will find a very ill temperament in them and a profound disappointment (as if the world owes anyone anything).
They will eventually drain the passion out of living as the bureaucracy grows and as the ranks of the sou-less and chestless grow.
I now better understand your social Darwinist warning.

Nietzsche was dumped by that incredible woman, Lou Andreas (later Lou Andreas Salome) and responded by writing "Zarathustra" with all its nonsense about supermen. Essentially his "philosophy" is little more than a childish attempt at pretending that rejection didn't hurt. Rilke handled his dropping by Lou in finer form. He went off to a tree crotch overlooking the Adriatic, fell into trance, and envisioned the Duino Elegies.

Yes but I have a very high regard for this thinking.
No getting around the fact that he may rank in the top tier.
He feared Nihilism and dared man to accept scientific truths that are at odds with his ego.
My criticisms are reserved for Hegel, Fitche, Heiddeger and the Postmodernists.

I now better understand your social Darwinist warning. Looking at current events thru the prism of Social Darwinism is extraordinarily informative. We're headed there, on the fast track.
