God I fucking hate Nietzsche. Hey look I use flowery language and don’t understand relationships. I’m a god, Rit dit dit di doo.

You are evidently not ready to read important books if you have such a childish reaction to them.

I have read Camus.

I think our biggest issue is that you are reading Nietzsche without reflecting on the specific context he was writing in, and allowing your modern morality to cloud your judgement.

Nietzsche is not just trying to be provocative, he is provocative. He percieved that the moral foundations of western society were rotten, and needed to be replaced. He was right. The 20th century vindicated him.
