No.
Nietzsche's understanding of our situation, all the 'diseases' he identified are with us still. They are embedded in our species yet our culture is fundamentally different because of him.
Not just our culture - the way individual minds work in the West has been affected consciously or unconsciously by him much as we have been changed by the pre-existence of Descartes, Hume, Darwin or, later, Freud.
The achievement of Nietzsche was to look at the parallel worlds of science and morality and point out that both were secondary. We had become decadent (even if we might see them as necessary for survival) under their domination. We were potentially greater than either but had forgotten this.
Science and morality are useful but they are not necessarily 'true' when it comes to asking the central questions about what is it to be a human being in the world (a theme that Heidegger would take up with more rigour several decades later).
The central claim of the book is famous, or infamous if you prefer - that Christian morality has insidiously destroyed us as a species, turning the strong into slaves serving slaves who are corralled into their slavery by an insidious priestly class.
Nietzsche goes where few have dared to go and where most, even his admirers, would not go today. His attack on 'compassion' as a virtue would shake most people as cruel and yet it is logical within a much wider critique of the cruelties involved in our own willing repression of ourselves.
Those who are the alleged beneficiaries of this morality are, in fact, its greatest victims, unable to develop themselves to their fullest as livers of a full life with all their animal emotions intact.
The emergence out of our university class of a world of natural victims, intersectionality, activism (the new presbyters), self-imposed liberal middle class guilt, self censorship and submission would have been recognised as the 'eternal return' of the slave culture he excoriates

That is kind of a long winded way to say you want to have sex in the ass with no consequences.

they're things that are equivalent in type but the type is more general than both of them
