Question about Nietzsche's Genology on Morality?

Nietzsche gives the Jewish as an example of the usurpation of noble morality to slave morality (very roughly when noble/high standing/intellectual good becomes evil, and the common or lowly becomes the good).

Is there any examples of this in modern society?

I've been thinking of the recent shift towards green technology and lifestyle as opposed to industrialization and otherwise non-green living. I don't know if that's interrelated enough with what Nietzsche is trying to get at though, and that's what I need to write about.

Anyways, any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Green technology like solar power and electric cars power cells. Eating healthy. All that cost money and the only countries that can afford it are the wealthy well off ones. You will probably never see this technology in 3rd world countries for a long time if ever.

    Nietzsche was nuts. More than half of what he said, in my estimation, was wrong. Just simply wrong. Deep, thoughtful, abstract - very impressive - but wrong, in the end once you sort it all out. Too, he was miserable and morose and saw everything in life as if through a curtain of urine soaked cloth. You can't believe anything he says. I remain astonished that anyone teaches him anymore or ever did.
