I'm going to call this out more explicitly.
There are two types of slaves in this world: those who are kidnapped, sold, and treated as chattel, enslaved by society and by law. Then there are the willing ones, Nietzsche's herd animals, those who do not aspire to independence but choose to be followers, those who do not question authority. This latter category of "slaves" comprise those who aren't democrats at all but rather temperamentally inclined to dictatorship.
Consider this excerpt:
> College should be
> for the upper class, the talented 10%, those meant
> to be there who will lead the herd, the rest of us
> don't need student loans to learn esoteric jargon,
> to run parts through a machine, build a house, or
> clean a bathrooms. All we need to know is how to
> hold our bladders, be nice, and smile at
> management.
I don't know how anyone with a milliliter of self-respect could pen that. Here is someone who exults in being a "herd" animal and who believes that all he and 90% of the rest of society "need to know is how to hold our bladders, be nice, and smile at management."
Why, macaRomney, do you choose to live in a democracy, a system of government that requires that all its members are educated, self-respecting, and involved in civic affairs; people who do not "be nice and smile at management" but rather demand that management account for its performance? Democracy is a political order in which the rulers are responsible to the ruled, not one in which the 90% opt for ignorance and impotence.
You define what Nietzsche described as a "slave morality," what he warned would lead to totalitarianism in, specifically, Germany and Russia. Does that not give you pause for thought?
Do you really see personal fulfillment in voluntary submission, voluntary servitude? In impotence?
