Very close related to anarchy but with a slight difference. Anarchy is the belief of no government, that the people can govern themselves. Nihilism is the same belief, except with anarchy people support eachother. In nihilism it is every man for himself.

all life is meaningless. and that's what makes it wonderful. it means that if the universe has no purpose, time will go on without you, then you don't matter. all humiliation or guilt or sadness or anger that you may have felt, will disappear.if life has no purpose, give it one. make use of the time you have. enjoy it while it lasts.

The primary ideology of planet earth. The idea is "we are fucked, everything is fucked, nothing can be stopped, there are no plausible ways to be a moral person anymore, therefore, let us party indefinitely."

It's an ideology that is present in the ruling classes as well as the working classes around the world. It has destructive implications in that it is a performative self-fulfilling prophecy.

A bad-faith debating tactic where the debater selectively rejects commonly understood concepts, systems of classification, or terminology used by their opponent, halting any substantive debate, but supports their own viewpoints using those same concepts.

Instead of evaluating the logic of an opposing argument, the tactical nihilist will feign confusion, and attack a term used by their opponent. If the opponent, unaware of the tactic, takes the debater's apparent confusion in good faith, the conversation is quickly derailed into long discussions where the debater will continually request more and more evidence simply to establish the term's definition or validity, which the debater really understood in the first place. The debater will split every hair, attempt to deconstruct other words and concepts, and request more evidence. The original argument is forgotten and appears to be unaddressed by the opponent, and the debater is then able to feel victorious.

You know what's great about life? It doesn't matter. I don't mean that it doesn't matter what's great about life, I mean that what's great about life is that it doesn't matter. Politics doesn't matter, aliens don't matter, black holes don't matter, we don't matter.. nothing matters. We have nothing to prove, nothing to strive for. Life is nothing, it's probably an illusion anyway. We might as well all be dead. Why care about anything? See that painting - who cares? It probably doesn't exist.. but it sure is beautiful.. See that roller coaster? Oh, who cares, there's no point anyway.. but it sure is fun.. See that human you're in love with? Who cares, they're not even real and love is an illusion! Well yeah.. but it still feels really nice and it's a lot of fun.. so why not just kick back, relax and enjoy yourself on the pointless and non-existent but undeniably awesome ride of life!

The knowledge that there is nothing. Everything life appears to be is but a perception. 'morals' and 'facts' are all subjective.
Despite this, the only escape provides little alternative, as that leads to the cessation of all thought. Might as well enjoy it while it lasts :)

When someone engages in meaningless and thoughtlessly destructive conversation because it’s not face to face.
