How does one oppose the virulent subjectivism of the postmodern condition and nihilism without resorting to religious conceptions?

Does this mean giving the Overmen the authority to decide what is valuable, thus true?
How does one attain this?

Subjectivism in what sense?

What is true for me is all I need to know about the world and people should respect my perspective.
Interestingly enough, even if you do resort to religious conceptions, it does absolutely nothing for this problem.
IS-OUGHT, the true nature of value and meaning? All of it has nothing to do whatsoever with whether a God exists or not.
Im having a problem listening to the dribble from my undergraduate philosophy courses about "the world is different for everyone and we should respect it all" and "everyone is an ethical pluralist in some sense" and "truth is what you make it." I know its that easy.

Well, then disprove it.

National Socialism.
Not even joking, it is nihilistic in that it asserts that there are no inherent truths, but it seeks to create its own truths through the triumph of will.
Literally, "might makes right".

but the subjectivity-objectivity thing is ultimately about the absolute and the relative, or in more symbolically human terms, man and God. an objective reality would hint at an objective being beyond man. for some reason people are loathe to admit this.... almost as if it would blow out the subjective (personal) reality like wind to a candle. why? are people's realities so fragile, so shallow, so weak, small in scope as to be threatened by a much larger part of the kosmos? this is a digression, for generally we leave these questions to the philosopher. my point is this:
is there a way to divulge these things without the religio-(etc)? Yes. Are people keen enough to discern this? No.
Thus for the masses, at least for now, it'll ALWAYS, INCESSANTLY, WITHOUT FAIL, be about the ego and religion, and systemization, and false determinism, and some sophomoric sense of rebellion likely stemming from having equally incompetent parents as children, and the congealing of common sense into some sickly residual stain, rotting more and more each year.
