How would Nietzsche feel about physical conflict?

Honestly I think N prob would encourage you to challenge that individual to a dual or a boxing match. Or at the very least give him a proper verbal lashing on some level. Probably would depend on how deeply that individual insulted you. He thinks that “turning the other cheek” and all that other Christian morality is bullshit essentially right? It creates all that resentment that will poison you. So get that anger out then and there and assert your power.

But I mean it’s important to remember that N was in one minor dual with someone one time. He challenged the guy after they had had a nice lively debate/discussion. So I think violence to him was kinda viewed as a gentlemen’s sport/game like that. He himself preferred solitude and thinking/reading mostly. But obviously that’s not what some of his more macho ideas signal sometimes.
