Tea Party Explained
The tea baggers are, by inborn disposition, slaves. Aristotle understood that many people are born slaves, and though he may have applied that idea a bit irregularly, the initial insight was accurate. They are imbued with what Nietzsche calls “slave morality,” a will to slavish power that fears and despises the true freedom of those who exist comfortably with it. The tea baggers have done the only kind of slave revolt a true slave could be expected to do – a revolt to bring their condition to the rest of mankind and to prevent any possibility of liberation. Freedom is terror to this variety of homo sapiens and its existence for anyone but the master class is equally terrorizing. Of course, “slave” entails the need for “masters,” so the entire revolt is for the interest of expanding and ensuring the power of the masters.
