Quote by: Friedrich Nietzsche

Supposing that what is at any rate believed to be the 'truth' really is true, and the is the reduction of the beast of prey 'man' to a tame and civilized animal, a , then one would undoubtedly have to regard all those instincts of reaction and through whose aid the noble races and their ideals were finally confounded and overthrown as the actual ; which is not to say that the of these instincts themselves represent culture. Rather is the reverse not merely probable—no! today it is These bearers of the oppressive instincts that thirst for reprisal, the descendants of every kind of European and non-European slavery, and especially of the entire pre-Aryan populace—they represent the of mankind! These 'instruments of culture' are a disgrace to man and rather an accusation and counterargument against 'culture' in general!
