>>24610711Socrates fought man to man with the Spartan elite in open battle on multiple occasions. There is even a story of his section of the line faltering as everyone around him was slain and Socrates holding back the Spartans by himself until reinforcements came in.
Now consider here the irony of NEETzsche claiming that he did philosophy because he was ugly and weak, when NEETzsche was only ever in a non-combat role, never saw battle, and was still "traumatized." Keep in mind that he was an incel while Socrates gathered masculine sons and won the undying respect on many fellow Greek nobles.
The fact that we are children of Nietzsche, Hume, and Foucault instead of Socrates, Plato, and Saint Maximus explains everything you need to know about modernity. Today, people screech about resistance, and fold instantly. Maximos had his writing hand and tongue cut out, and kept going. The wholly immanent and finite "Will to Power" is flaccid and weak. The transcendent Good is infinitely fecund and powerful, without limit.
