Nietzsche particularly said that we should all strive to be the best versions of ourselves, something he called “uber-mensch” an idea, which I believe was hijacked by Nazis.
He was a nihilist, but he also urged everyone to create their own values and follow it to be the best you can be. But, then he was also a disgusting sexist. People are complicated.

He had a nazi sister who after his death hijacked his ideas to gain nazi streetcred
His quote “God is dead” is supposed to indicate the genesis of nihilism.
Without a higher purpose, we fall into a belief that our lives are worthless.
However, we can find our own “god”, whether that be helping others, mastery of a skill, or finding contentment.
There are plenty of things to find value in, just because Nietzsche had a complete breakdown in the pursuit, doesn’t mean he’s wrong.
When I make the decision to stare at my phone while crossing the street, I may be a hypocrite, but it doesn’t make “look both ways before crossing” bad advice.

The overall depth of your comment warrant a request for sources…
Why? Who cares? It was like over 100 years ago at this point and like basically everyone was bigoted 100 years ago lmao.
Edit: also just like google stuff, it’s not like it’s modern day shit where tons of propaganda and straight disinformation and misinformation make finding this stuff impossible.

Teenagers hardly know who Nietzsche was, let alone claim his work to justify anything. The few who do know about him are not the ones living hedonistically.
I don’t think you’ve been around teenagers in a while. They do know who he was, they just haven’t read any of his works and claim some wild bullshit.
