nietzsche turned schopenhauer on his head,
sch.'s asceticism was to ni. a denial of life -
and ni. wasn't attempting to add to eastern philosophy
(not to mention that he critiqued buddhism at length,
citing multiple sources)

huh?
i know of no similarities between those concepts,
other than might be made by a catholic schoolteacher -
and oscar schindler was a nazi too,
are we to automatically exclude every point-of-view
that happened to originate in that time-period?
(if so, be ready to give up some of
civilization's medical/technological advances)
and do not you think other countries have been complicit
in comparable (though not equivalent) atrocities?
does america's murder and enslavement of millions of africans
mean i can't read thomas jefferson?
ad homs are fun though :)
