Pro-tip: never say "nihilism", instead say "bourgeois nihilism"
Pro-tip: never say "nihilism", instead say "bourgeois nihilism"
If you need to explain, never ever shorted the phrase. Just keep saying "bourgeois nihilism".
The bourgeois nihilism of today is distinct from the bourgeois nihilism of Nietzsche's era...
It is kinda wild. I used to read some nihilist folks like Nietzche and my takeaway was to make what you can of nothing and help people when possible. Others just use it as an opportunity to be evil.
Nietzche was definitely not about helping people lol. More like, "wouldn't it be rad if we killed all weak people and races? Also socialists and women too."
tbh for that part of the post I just looked up "bourgeois nihilism guy" and took the first result. I don't think that's usually the takeaway though.
But if I can't say nihilism at all I'm stuck in an infinite loop repeating bourgeois forever.

Am not a philosophier, can you explain please? 🫶
That's okay. I am a philosopher, and I don't get it either. I think it's a shitpost.
Sorry this was sorta vagueposting / badposting on my end. My point is all nihilism is bourgeois and reactionary. It's to make fun of 'nihilists'.
Maybe OP identifies with some kind of nihilism and doesn't like seeing it criticized in broad strokes?

Why?
To fight nihilism broadly, but I guess also to be annoying unfortunately. I think this essay that someone linked explains why nihilism is bourgeois and evil, but I haven't read that specific one so I'm not sure.
Guys, I was just joking. I'm not a nihilist. I'm an... uh... absurdist...? Are absurdists cool?
Bourgeois absurdism
Nihilists are the most annoying kind of "leftist", I can't stand the smugness
I embrace nihilism to protect my own sanity. Doesn’t seem like anything to be smug about.
What’s wrong with burger nihilism?
