overpowering the weak

NIETZSCHE

The weak, seeking to define the powerful elites attributes that keep them in power as evil, is seen as a sort of common movement of ill will against elites. The powerful elites with their more muted moral judgment of ethics is envisioned by Nietzsche as a superior worldly outlook, and shared by progressives. In this view lack of action and acceptance of the human condition is cringed upon (elites have better characteristics that their subservients should aspire to). Well a more accurate depiction of good and evil would have to better account with the historical evolution of political ideology as a moral actuator. In natural law theory, there are truths out there to be discovered by human reason. These are absolute good and evil, not good and bad as Nietzsche's noble man would have it. People can discover this embedded wisdom handed down through societal customs and trial and error over human existence. All people have rights that are unalienable and governments are legitimate only if they are constituted to protect those rights. The noble man or today's modern progressive seeks to become the overlord in totalitarian fashion of the masses. All people weak or powerful have the same rights and should be treated equally under the law, but the progressives have removed themselves from the negative consequences of their over governing - making them above the law. A humble existence is virtue - live and let live.
