The historical nihilist would be extremely confused about today’s brand of nihilism. They would say, “Huh? Nihilism is about rejecting meaningless culture and replacing it with meaningful culture. It’s also about pissing off rich people and socialism! Vivia La Revolucion!”
I always thought Nihilism was seeing the world as unethical, ad life being useless. So I have labeled myself as a nihilist. But yknow, I don’t really “cope” with it. I just move on and let life go by. I’m done giving fucks in this world about things and people that don’t matter to me. It’s pointless.
Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy says: “In Russia, nihilism became identified with a loosely organized revolutionary movement (C.1860-1917) that rejected the authority of the state, church, and family. … The movement advocated a social arrangement based on rationalism and materialism as the sole source of knowledge and individual freedom as the highest goal. By rejecting man’s spiritual essence in favor of a solely materialistic one, nihilists denounced God and religious authority as antithetical to freedom.”
They also enjoyed scandalizing old people by growing their hair long (if they were guys) or cutting their hair short (if they were girls) and hanging out with poor people (if their parents were rich).
Nihilists! Fuck me. I mean, say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it’s an ethos.
The Dude abides. I don’t know about you but I take comfort in that. It’s good knowin’ he’s out there. The Dude.
Duderino abides.
