Several hidden illnesses struck humanity at roughly the same time, among them humility, compassion, and pity. The ascetic, the beggar, and the wretched were suddenly elevated to the rank of saints and divine beings. Anger and pride are now presented as sins punishable by death. The god Thor, terror of the giants, and Hercules, slayer of the Hydra, have fallen from greatness, and in their place stands the poor son of a carpenter from Nazareth, who died a lowly death on the cross.
This transformation runs counter to every driving force in life. It is a “will to nothingness,” and it denies our very life impulse, which underlies all of nature: the will to power. Once we have turned strength and bravery into sin, we are now forced to turn the will to power inward. Since we are not allowed to dominate, our will consumes itself in the form of “guilt” and “conscience.”
Humanity “tears [and] persecutes” itself, “gnaws, abuses, and harms” itself, because we repress everything that is human. We resemble a wild wolf, bound and muzzled, “rubbing its body against the bars of its cage until it bleeds.” In Nietzsche’s view, this illness is fatal.
We must return to affirm all the primal aspects of life. We must restore nobility and power. We must live again with boldness and without shame. This is the will to power.

morality is necessary for social bonds, and groups of people are stronger than individuals

therefore, if you value strength, you must value morality, pity and guilt because they create stronger entities

Not a must at all.

It’s just something that you do, if you ain’t got a justification for “Morality” then it’s jsut something humans created an thefore has 0 content 0 meaning outside of the make belief shit humans ascribe to it. This is the poor dichotomy of the GAYtheist

justification does not need to be god.
morality is doing things that improve society.

retarded thought process

even if its something humans created,
1. It has content - the content is a system of ideas
2. It has meaning - humans invent concepts and they're perfectly meaningful
3. I don't need to justify morality if im making a descriptive claim about how it facilitates pro-social behavior. I would need to justify it if im making a meta-ethical prescription for why morality itself is moral. But that it simply makes people cooperate better, is so clearly evident, that anyone arguing against it is simply not worth engaging with.
