Irony in a sovereign asceticism

 “For one does not become a man through science, art or religion—to say nothing of philosophy—but through a self-conscious rejection of happiness, through a fundamental inability to be happy.”


-Emil Cioran




If I am an extortionist (the opposite of an ascetic for purpose in making my point) and I am acting as what is a dictator without which boundaries are not intended nor made. That makes for 'recreation' in the event they mass commit to murdering people in war. I question Nietzsche cause in everything he ever expected us to understand through reading his philosophy. There is a larger scope to make sense of here. To be a leader of the MAGA movement today, brands you a hero. The cause nor purpose of my reason for saying it is not insufferable of me to say so. Therefore, I am like 'most intelligent men, like the strongest, find their happiness where others would find only disaster:" Further to Nietzsche disparaging position in this, as example of a professional extortionist "to play with burdens that would crush all others." This appears fallacious as if to say the war effort is justified in Iran right now. Evangelicals' are the real terrorists.
