A philosophical novel by Friedrich Nietzsche written in the 19th century. In German it is titled: Also sprach Zarathustra. In English, it is also called "Thus Spoke Zarathustra".
Or, simplified: Therefore, >> he (Zarathustra) spoke of >> thee. (subject)
It is a book widely regarded as Nietzsche's best work.
The title name Thus Spake Zarathustra, is meant to be ironic and cynical, like morbid sarcasm; and is suggestive of the apprehensive atmosphere the book displays. It explains why Zarathustra turned himself into a Prophet, during an era where God is dead (metaphor) in order to quell and stop disorder and confusion in the Middle East.
Despite Nietzsche being a good person; It is a very dangerous book, that should only be read by mature and responsible individuals. (this is why Germany and Russia have attempted to ban books written by Nietzsche.)
Basically, it tells the story of a real Avestan (Aryan) prophet named Zoroaster who lived about 2,500 years ago; and whom started a religion (see: Zoroastrianism) in order to overthrow a malignant, illegitimate and dystopian Empire; (see: Babylon) and to help uproot it, in order to create a new social order. Essentially, Zoroaster (or Zarathustra) attempts to become a Nobleman and wise prophet among the populace; or more specifically, an Übermensch.

Thus Spake Zarathustra is a very good read. (whether you are Atheist or believer) Only the most intellectual of individuals are able to truly comprehend and understand it. Assholes and cowards despise and deride it; or are just too lazy or daft. The average individual may not understand the book. Many critics of Nietzsche disdainfully write it off as nonsense and drivel. The book is basically written in a fairy-tale storybook way, kind of like a poem or poetic prose. (similar to the gospel).
(Although asshole critics overlook and bash Nietzsche, he was actually doing perfectly fine in Mental health at the time, while he wrote the book. Nietzsche has a lot of controversy surrounding him; such as his subsequently deteriorating mental health. Which is what critics (without reading or understanding) overlook.)
Those who "get the book" therefore "understand". This is why Nietzsche proclaimed and entitled the book with the famous cautionary slogan: "A BOOK FOR EVERYONE AND FOR NO ONE."
(it could be said by some scholars, that mortal Zoroaster was the original Jesus.)
Ex. In Thus Spake Zarathustra; humble Zoroaster, minding the war, chaos and disorder that surrounds him; attempts to bring back order and self-responsibility to the people; and becomes an Übermensch, respite risking his own life.

Get the Thus Spake Zarathustra mug.There ain't no niggers in Nebraska.

Get the Nebraska mug.The easiest and quickest excuse to get a Polish girlfriend. If you say that you're an American and she's free (single), Polish girl will be extremely friendly. Remember to talk in an American accent, and perfect it.
Polish girls cannot understand the fact that some American men are poor. They will always think American men are rich and smart. You can't convince them otherwise. In a weird, autistic way. (lol) They are so naive they consider alcoholism and fat American men to be a sign of "manliness". (A product of their isolation from Western society.)

Canadian guy: How do I get with an extremely good Trophy girl?
Englishman: Just talk to a Polish girl and fake that you're an American. Talk with an American accent. She'll think you're rich as shite.

Get the American mug.An absolute brilliant German philosopher that is often overlooked, overshadowed, underappreciated and/or completely misunderstood. He could deconstruct logical aspects of human concepts that would blow your mind. Even people like Albert Einstein or Rene Descartes would never win; in an argument against Nietzsche. At least, according to Nietzsche's train of thought and his natural strict logic composition; in regards to metaphysics.
Rene Descartes always focuses on "essence" and "truth"; while Nietzsche argues that essence and truth are not real and are only ideas or figments of illusions in our conscious minds. Nietzsche focuses on the subconscious; while Descartes focuses on the conscious mind. "I think, therefore I am."
Nietzsche: You do not "think"!!. You only "believe" that "you think". Your brain is an organ struggling for life, just like your heart, liver, kidneys and everything else!
Descartes: I do not understand what you are saying, Nietzsche!
Nietzsche: You have missed the big picture entirely and focused on the irrelevant, simple matters.
Descartes: I still don't think I hear you!
Nietzsche: Likewise.

Albert Einstein: Doing something over and over again and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity.
Friedrich Nietzsche: No it isn't, Einstein! Doing something over and over again is NOT insanity. The very fact that you use the aspect/essence of "insanity" contradicts the whole concept of: A HAPPENING. A happening is just exactly that: A HAPPENING. An indifferent, recurrent happening. And it will always function in our indifferent universe as: a happening. It is only human judgement and interpretation that: a happening; will be thought of as "insanity". Therefore, doing something over and over again and expecting a different result is NOT insanity. Only human minds can determine what doing something over and over again is. Conclusion: IT IS NEITHER "INSANITY" NOR "SANITY"! IT IS A HAPPENING!
Einstein, Descartes and Everbody else: WOW! MIND = BLOWN

Get the Friedrich Nietzsche mug.A band in the 1980's that was a lot better than The Cure, by a long shot.
Music is meant to be subjective; but anyone realistic would see that The Smiths are a lot more relevant to the modern culture at that time. Especially in the UK.
Robert Smith(The Cure)'s music is fun, but it has no endearing qualities; and after a while; Robert starts to sound like a little boy that needs to grow up and is "overdoing it". Just like a manchild. (to the point where it starts to get weird.)

The Smiths were original and cool in the sense that their music was really cutting edge and also sappy. (edgy and melancholic at the same time - ironic) Their lyrics were funny but also depressing at the same time. They were consistent. Even the band name - The Smiths - was a mockery of modern society. (because there are loads of people out there surnamed "Smith". The band were mocking the unoriginality of the Post-Industrial UK society. So they took the band name "The Smiths" - to be ironic. Almost like mocking The Beatles and everyone with the last name Smith. That was the whole point of The Smiths' music - to mock the unoriginality and banality of modern society.) In this aspect, Morrissey was a genius and an originator. Plus in the 1980s, they did not wear makeup or style their hair, and just looked like normal gents. (not trying to stand out)
It is here, this is where The Smiths make Robert Smith and The Cure look like a bunch of juvenile attention whores. The Smiths have an inner depth and seem like philosophers doing music; while The Cure just seem like a superficial band and only devoted to pleasure. Robert Smith has no sense of humor. While Morrissey was an ironic razor blade.

Get the The Smiths mug.A state that used to be cool but now just sucks total ass. All the leftists moved out there and now it's like California. Florida is where Millennial yuppies go to work and pretend to be VIP. Only the old retired population votes right-wing. It is growing fast, faster than Georgia; and the Millennials will soon make it a Pinko-Marxist shithole. You thought California or Seattle was arrogant? Floridians are becoming arrogant as fuck, too. Also, the traffic is horrible. A lot of people are dying in car accidents out there.
Florida used to be a really cool laid-back state. Now it's filled with arrogant liberal entitled snobs from all over. Who just move out there to party and impress people with their fake superficial lives. Casey Anthony. Tampa is the worst city, they are all perverts and sleep around.

Get the Florida mug.An oxymoron. Just like so called "Centrists", Internationalists or "Humanists". And other political pseudo-intellectuals.
Libertarians actually closeted Communists; but try to make it look like they are in-between, they believe in almost the same social dogma as Marxism; only difference is Communism equals strong government. Libertarians may believe in tolerance of homosexuals, feminism and Muslims. All this is funny; because lots of them claim to be Agnostics - and do not realize Islam is totalitarian institution; plus ... Muslims, just like Christians hate/despise homosexuals in the first place.
(Also American Constitution was NOT Libertarian. It was an advocation of Tribalism & an Agrarian state. (anti-Western world.)
Libertarianism is form of subtle Marxism in disguise as small government. Someone here said they were a former Republican who became Libertarian after they fully understood the Constitution ... As a professional I really had to laugh because the only thing that Libertarianism ideology & American Constitution advocated was small to almost no government ... They (founding fathers) never said anything i.e. about homosexuality, feminism, or practicing Islam & etc. (You could say "well, back in the 1700s these times were different." By this logic; that would be assuming the founding fathers also advocated pedophilia or murder ... And I don't think they did.)

(Libertarians are Marxists because they believe in the state. That's why it's an oxymoron.)
Libertarians do not realize it is human nature to have flaws or want to be above others. (It's just our minds.) If there was ever utopia things like jealousy, guilt, fear, embarrassment, pain, pleasure, anger, sadness, happiness & other natural emotions would no longer exist. (because everyone would be too comfortable & satisfied. Which is exact opposite of pure human nature/natural selection.)
(Some people- especially Ayn Rand, see Nietzsche as an influence to their philosophy. (especially Capitalism) Funny; because Nietzsche was NOT in anyway Libertarian. He was also NOT Nazi or Communist; as he believed in total abolition of the state. (He was very much against Democracy/Western civilization; and was for a Natural state/Agrarian, much like founding fathers of the USA.)
(Side note- Nietzsche would abhor Capitalism & see it as a form of life-denial & completely against his philosophy of self-mastery.)
(Nietzsche wasn't Nihilist. He was an Agnostic, or perspectivist. He could not use the word Agnostic because it wasn't defined yet in late 1800s & another philosopher came up with the term. ("Agnosticism") Nietzsche just called his"perspectivism". )
Libertarianism cant work; and will only lead to weakened structure (everyone is "equal" which will turn into disorder/chaos because of greedy humans) It is a laughable philosophy and will only backfire like communism)
It should also be noted that the founding fathers did not want Political parties whatsoever.
