A lot of similarities as well with Nietzchen philosophy that is often appealing to young men - not much of a leap from Nietzche to the red pill. The idea that there are no ideals or universal moral frameworks and fulfilment comes from having the strength to reject Christian-Platonic social morals, embrace your fate for what it is - warts and all, then have the will to attain personal power and creative expression. Society be damned.

There is way too much ressentiment there to call them Nietzschean.

I am not sure. I think if one followed Nietzche's rejection of ideals and embrace personal power it would be necessary to at least pity and even disdain those who don't. Especially if they seem more content within the accepted social-moral framework than one feels. One would have to dismiss them as pathetic sheep. To acknowledge their view as a legitimate alternative would totally undermine one's justification to act like a self serving, arrogant ass.
