My boyfriend hates Nietzsche
I have been with my boyfriend since 2019, and since then we've talked a lot about our interests and the way we feel about various people and their ideas. He knows I love Nietzsche because of the books I've read in the past few years and the videos I watch about him and the way I like to talk about him. I read my first Nietzsche book in 2017 and began to read more a couple years later, and since then have only come to appreciate him more. My boyfriend is often watching boring shit about ancient times as he's obsessed with history, but starts making fun whenever I want to watch something about Nietzsche. I won't even start with his thoughts on Thus Spoke Zarathustra and the ideas presented in it. I've thought about it and I still don't understand why he hates him. For anyone who doesn't know who I'm talking about btw, just search "Friedrich Nietzsche" and you'll find out lol. My boyfriend is fairly religious but I've decided that this can't be the reason he hates him because I think that you can believe in God AND like the works of Nietzsche. I'm more open to the possibility of a God than not and I think Nietzsche is the greatest philosopher ever. I tried to explain to my boyfriend that it's not as simple as "he hates God" or "he is trying to denounce religion and morality", but he doesn't get it.
He thinks that he's boring and arrogant. I think Nietzsche's work goes way beyond what most people can perceive or imagine. It's so much more than what we all seem to think it is, and he is way more complex than most can even begin to understand.
