>"badass" Nietzsche, Rand, and Stirner philosophies are developed by coffeehouse nerds who can't do 5 pushups in a row and aren't applied in reality; only professed by fedora+cargoshortsites
>"weak" philosophies like Christianity, Buddhism, Stoicism, etc. constantly produce warriors, kings, soldiers, and emperors
Is reality simply the best judge of philosophy?

The blending of the spirit with the natural world, taking who you are (ego) with the knowledge of all the came before to understand how you reasonably exist in your current state. Basically self consciousness to the highest degree, we are god thinking about himself.

Nietzsche - He’s right in regards to civilization and the manifestation of nihilism due to science removing the mystical etymology of our universes origin. My age demographic collectively wants to go to bed and never wake up, which is reflected in political absolutes like disaster climate.

He is also right that a reactionary movement is a never a move towards the center, but rather the polar opposite of what is being reacted against. I.e. far left creates an even further right.

Crucify me if you must.

The overwhelming majority of "warriors, kings, soldiers, and emperors" followed a Will to Power philosophy you mongoloid. Just because they wouldn't tell you "yeah man my philosophy is Nietzschean" doesn't mean they weren't practicing something similar. They probably called it something else or framed it in different language, but ultimately its the basic shit Nietzsche described. The whole point of Nietzsche, or one aspect of his thought, was pointing out that yes, the most powerful people do in fact run shit and you should want to be them, yes it really is just that simple. There is no otherwordly fairytale land waiting for you to compensate you for being a weakling your entire life.

A Prohairesis towards courage and justice with Amor Fati isn't the same as complete Will to Power the likes of which Nietzche professed. Among soldiers and warriors Stoicism is far more popular and altruism is more present among *good* kings and Emperors

Have you taken a survey? I would be willing to bet that stoicism is more "popular" in those groups only in your mind. You're imagining the ideal, Stoic warrior. Warriors for most of history were bands of unsavory people looking to exert power where they could. Its inevitable when you live and die in battles shit like the Iliad, while beautiful, is idealized and almost certainly does not accurately reflect the temperament of the ancient warrior.
As examples of true greats in terms of renknown who imo exemplified a WtP philosophy there is Gengis Khan, Alexander the Great, King Cyrus, Hitler, Mohammad, Napoleon, Caesar, the majority of the Roman and Persian emperors, the Indo-Aryans, and many more who I have forgotten or not heard of.
Generally a powerful dude probably is into WtP if even at bare minimum on an intuitive level.

Also, altruism itself is essential in maintaining a hold on power when you're already the top dog. A Will to Power philosophy =/= being an edge lord. In fact the people who exemplified it best are probably not even thought of at all as edgy or subversive and are beloved by many.

General Mattis was an open Stoic. James Stockdale, Vietnam POW was. My time in the Army I've met Stoics.
Obviously they're all not, plenty of dipshits, but it's the most common. And that's all modern, not least the ancients.

You have some evidence to the contrary?
