Nietzsche set up the dichotomy of master vs. slave morality. He characterizes slave-thinking by it assuming “stupid/dumb/ignorant is good”. This trichotomy seems to further split up slave morality into slave vs. victim.


At first I thought it's the same thing but found it interesting that maybe a new morality (or a new branch) is forming now. Certainly interesting thought! Have to reread On the Genealogy of Morality...


I would characterize it more as a promotion of the values of "weak > strong". The meek shall inherit the Earth, is a good encapsulation.
