you mean....you'd never heard about Elizabeth Wagner-Nietzsche?
the will to power and her influence and tampering, as well as her
distorting it to be nothing but nazi propaganda...that's relatively
old news. and, sheez, if that's one of the things- i mean ignorance
of this fact- that had kept nietzsche and his philosophies more on the
outskirts of this forum...wow, i really would be shocked.

It wasn't him, it was her
Nietzsche's Sister and the Will to Power

We more or less know about Nietzsche, but Elisabeth, the little sister and living embodiment of everything the mad philosopher disdained, who took control of her brother's thought, should not on any account be overlooked. Her life is a story of mediocrity triumphing over inspiration, meanness over excess, ressentiment over the bermensch. Her transformation of her brother's work into a Nazi cookbook bears an uncanny resemblance to the rise of National Socialism itself in a chaotic Germany. After a lifetime of failing to keep up with her brother, she finally appropriated him, body and what was left of his mind
