Thank you for this good and serious piece. And now some rando thoughts…

"What it could not do, Nietzsche thought, was reject Christianity while continuing to treat Christian morality as sacred." But existentialism can.

"Shadowboxing with symbolic egalitarianism as though it were a revolutionary material force is silly." If the Left is posturing why do they do it? Perhaps contempt is seeing it for what it is.

"And it can insist that Christianity is true when it needs religious authority and behave as though Nietzsche was right when Christian morality becomes … inconvenient." Spot on.

"All that matters is that they work together politically." Probably the only litmus test for ideas in any arena.

Less nichey; more Nietzsche. 💪
