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.
