Nietzsche too was an escapist

  • he's was an escapist - worse than most he criticises for the same. like an ascetic, he threw himself into his writing to escape the world. 
  • his personal life was pathetic, but he tries to boost his ego by transforming himself into an intellectual legend and shitting on others. he was full of resentment!
  • he fails to see his aesthetic imaginations and emotions generally as escape behaviour (interestingly, Sartre doesn't make the same mistake). 
  • his enthusiasm is not convincing at all. 
  • he was a loser. 
  • but being a loser, he also knew what losers were like, so his critique is insightful.
