You seem to imply that ressentiment is a thing of "the left" or socialistic. I would disagree with that, since there is a powerful thread of ressentiment in conservative thinking, especially in "libertarian" or "tea-partyish" circles. The dialogue often takes the form of victimization by a powerful, evil and grasping persecutor (the government, "the left", etc), in which "simple, hard-working folks" are preyed upon by something *far* stronger than they are. On the right, ressentiment is often best caricatured by Archie Bunker, who not only wishes to be left to his own devices; he also nurses a powerful - one might say all-pervading - sense of resentment against a world that seems to have rejected his good ol' virtues of thrift, hard work, simplicity, and autonomy. He truly *believes* he is under siege. Moreover, he truly believes that he is the "little guy", and that the new society is some gigantic "it" whose very power and ubiquity makes it near-impossible to confront. And that is ressentiment.
//your comment is more so a response to Nietzsche not the guy who narrated the video// Based on what logic or evidence? I don't know so much about politics in Nietzsche's day but in today's politics far right groups are the most resentful, far more resentful than any leftist group. Most leftists have positive goals, at least it appears that way on the surface. The far right just wants to destroy society out of envy, spite, and despair.
I like this rebuttal, Archie Bunker is classic. Socialist have one thing right: humans are No. 1 not Good, because god is dead and we've killed him... haha!
Ressentiment was freed from this narrow political view by Freud. It exists on the altright at the present time and also within SJWs on the left. It's not part of any specific political disposition and seems to become dominant at times within them.
Bs,were not ressentful,we find socialists disgusting,week,annoying and pathetic,losers who use state powers to get stuff from other cause they are not competent
Happiness is no argument for, or against! What is critical is not separate! Decisiveness is a capitol expression not a reasoning! If to approach reasoning as decisiveness you have a skeptical nuance, which is relative to what? Diagnoses of term not yet produced. This does not follow a math, it follows a perspective! So you are saying people are built on perspective, and not math? The innocent have thoughts not yet exposed! Math is the total view, while perspective is built by the notion at hand!
This video represents yet another misuse of Nietzsche's concept of ressentiment which he applied in his condemnation of Christianity and religious nihilism generally denying this world for pie in the sky. Nietzsche never advanced an argument for capitalism over socialism. There is, quite frankly, no objective definition of either. And he never debated the merits of so called postmodern thought. Indeed, the adjective 'postmodern' has been rendered almost meaningless by its overuse in everything from art to economics to culture let alone the denial of truths which once uncovered would give us hope of a better foreseeable future for humanity.
I think you have that backwards. The one thing postmodernism managed to be specific about was indeed its denial of truth, as you put it. But a denial of truth en masse is going to have consequences in everything "from art to economics to culture." Nietzsche didn't talk about this in our terms ("leftist" "socialism" etc) but he did denounce certain attitudes which today are most prevalent on the left, ressentiment being one of them.
This is one of the most ridiculous interpretations of Nietzsche's ressentiment that I have ever stumbled upon. Clinging ressentiment to either socialism or capitalism is very narrow minded. In both capitalist or socialist societies ressentiment can be developed over time. It is not that one of the two is perfect and resentment is therefore dissolved easily in that particular one.
