I like the idea's that Nihilism suggests. I would consider myself a Nihilist to a degree but not a hardcore one.
It is a very interesting philosophical doctrine.

From Wikipedia:

"Nihilism (from the Latin nihil, nothing) is the philosophical doctrine suggesting the negation of one or more meaningful aspects of life. Most commonly, nihilism is presented in the form of existential nihilism which argues that life[1] is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value."

A rancid doctrine for putrid minds, loved only by would-be Auschwitz enablers

Have you read any of Nietzsche's works?
nietzsche has very little to do with nihilism doesnt he?
i always thought of him as one of the precursors of existentialism


anyway, i dont think anyone can truly be a nihilist.
they've probably killed themselves by now

I definitely agree with "life is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value".
However disagree with its morality perspectives.
