      He's basically been arguing for a while that Nietzsche is a kind of ur-fascist thinker, and anytime he argues that there seems to be a handful of leftists that start telling him that actually thats his sister distorting his writings or whatever.

      I dont usually see leftists otherwise try and quote or use Nietzsche, but theres definitely a tendency to go in defense of him against accusations of fascism.

          I guess he disagrees with that interpretation and finds Nietzsche fundamentally reactionary in more ways than just antisemitism.

          But truth be told I'm not particularly read into these arguments cause I neither read Nietzsche nor have I ever had to argue with anyone who did. Just providing context for why he randomly veered into yelling about left-Nietzscheans.
