 This video is a picture of how society should operate. 
Nietzsche wanted the strong to rule over the weak and, like, do whatever they wanted.

Christ replies, to whoever much is given, much is required. The strong should run the show, certainly, but they must do so for the sake of caring for, supporting, and strengthening the weak.
"Whoever would be great among you must be your servant." 
-Matthew 20:26

Don't get it twisted though, I'm *not* saying that the present situation is fine, where the West worships the broken and demands they have the best of everything. That's not Christian civics at all.

If you put that little girl in charge of her own recovery, she would never overcome her cerebral palsy. Knowing nothing of medicine, physical therapy, proper diet, etc., she would likely just ask for painkillers and rest until she atrophied further.

So it is with modern society, with people being given authority whose bios read "pronoun/pronoun, mental illness, mental illness, more mental illness, immature political take." Like a child king, all they can do is make demands and enforce greater decay on society. We need a strong head to benevolently enforce what is healthy for society, not maintain sickness.
