Default Re: In Review: Best Fleet Strategy

Actually, the concept of 'Ubermensch' was developed by late 19th century philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. He believed that the Christian view of the world, and it's morals, were almost explicitly designed to hold back any man that would lay claim to something greater than the usual goals people aspire to. In Nietzsche's view, Christianity thus was a religion of the weak, praising 'unnatural' actions such as presenting the other cheek. Following, one of his goals was the creation of a new set of morals, that would embrace the concept of the Ubermensch and encourage him to step forward. A perfect example of an Ubermensch such as Nietzsche sees him is Napoleon Bonaparte, who strived to conquer all of Europe ( not really an everyday goal eh : ) ). It must be said that his legacy has been perverted by the Nazi's, since Nietzsche based his concept of the Ubermensch on a person's qualities and achievements, not race or skin colour. Sorry bout the rant : )
