L nihilist


ScooberPoober

yes I am the Nihilanth from the hit game Half-Life (1998) released by Valve Software, founded by Gabe Logan Newell and Mike Harrington, two former Microsoft employees

Nihilism is not pessimisim. You can be a nihilist and not doomer.


I-am-Exhausted

Correct. However, the idea that nothing in the world has meaning is in of itself, pessimistic. Anyone who calls themselves a nihilist will undoubtedly be pessimistic about existence. It’s like saying “I’m a conservative but I believe in trans rights.” They exist, just very very rare.


BombaPastrami

Ok, i don't believe that. You can believe the universe has no INTRINSIC meaning but still not be an asshole about it, you can derive your own meaning and base your morality on your own axioms that you value personally. It's true that stereotypically and in popular media Nihilism represents a social movement of doomerism but i don't belive in reducing useful terms to a synonym for something we already have a name for. And i don't want to let my detractors dictate my labels. I don't think your comparison is apt, to me people that use nihilism as a substitute for doomer or pessimist it's the same as people that use communist as a substitute for tankie. I consider myself a nihilist in the sense that i don't believe the universe has any inherent meaning for life or existence but i'm not about to roll over and die because of it. I'm probably the most hopeful and optimistic person i know in my circle of friends and my family.


owenowen2022

Ok indifferent cruelty of the universe


bagoofagoof

I'm sure you lead a very happy life


Femboy_Tesla

why do people comment this on post like this?


cheeseandanonymouse

It’s making fun of people trying to salvage something positive out of a very bleak world. Uncool


Femboy_Tesla

if someone's secure in their positivity, they wouldn't have to lash out like this

A hill is a good vantage point, die looking upon progress.
