  Ah, fuckers who coined the term have no clue what nihilism means.

    The same FBI who was caught multiple times grooming mentally ill kids to commit terror acts so they can hit some targets?

    Yeah I trust these guys

    I’m honestly curious. I know nihilism is about life not having any objective or inherent meaning, but I don’t see how that conflicts with their motovation. Can you explain?

      Nihilism is not about making life harder, or sowing chaos, it’s about accepting that there’s no meaning to anything. Sowing chaos does not fit with that. It’s not that nihilism would forbid you from that (it’s a philosophy, not religion), but there’s nothing nihilistic about sowing chaos and destruction of society, so the naming is very wrong.

    They are just trying to stuff you with equation of “rejecting unsubstantiated authority and propaganda” (which is a subset of nihilism similarly to rejection of other unsubstantiated things) to “sowing chaos and destruction of society”.

    BTW, chaos is beneficial for any society. Chaos is how they evolve and find exits out of deadlocks. And rid themselves of degeneracy, which always flourishes on top, because those on top are subject to negative selection.

    Honestly the whole article is absolutely disgusting police boot licking piece of crap, of the “nothing to hide” and “the law is sacred even if made illegally” and “don’t question demands” kind.

    Except, of course, it’s wrapped into the boy being “anti-LGBTQZPN” and “accelerationist-extremist”, which is pretty normal, Israeli and Turkish propaganda too uses these in the way of “look, we allow gay parades and have something appearing like western democracy, so we are good, and our victims are not like that”.

    OK, so the description probably is just about a kid with some disorders who got burnt out from the idiots surrounding him. Every time you hear “he was normal and had meaning in life and we understood him and then he got depressed and closed”, it’s probably just that - ran out of spoons to play along to mouthbreather family thinking they understand everything.

    The things surrounding it - I think they are good. Between loyalty to entrenched non-transparent authority and rebellion with neo-Nazi symbols I’d choose the latter 10 times of 10.

    Also when “accelerationist” means that the institutions have already decayed and it’s better to break them before they’ve born more monsters - I agree with that. I thought the same when I was 15 and realized that democracies around us are not real in the sense that they were even in 1950s.

    But, of course, if we assume the article is deliberate propaganda, one can suggest that this is the intended second layer - to make you more sympathetic to such ideology.
