That's an oxymoron, you moron.

you are either trolling or too retarded to warrant a reply, but here it is anyway

Technically moral nihilism is contingent on God's non-existence, so it starts out with a fiddy percent.

>>9398081
Nihilism just means there is no inherent meaning to the universe/life. Not that we cant give it our own meaning.
Im a nihilist but that doesnt mean i go around stealing and killing cuz "hur dur it doesnt matter anyway"

>>9398119
No, it means that you use the structures of the culture like a child uses help wheels. What for, what for. Whim or ploy; to drown before sleep.

Morality is the priority of those inherent values you have yet to remove from things.

If value is entirely subjective it is meaningless.

You are describing existentialism or absurdism. Nihilism is a position that explicitly states that we can't assign meaning to anything. The only natural state of a true nihilist is being dead. Maybe just sort yourself out before trying to apply labels. They really won't impress that girl anyways.

>>9398174
Feel free to refute it then instead of using a meme image and an ad-hominem FALLACY.

What if one person's value, which they gave their life meaning with, much as you did yours, is directly in opposition to your system? Is one more right? More valid? You cannot have ethics without some conception of the divine.

Legitimacy could be argued to only be available under moral nihilism as it values the law above the individual and group, the utility of the law, the efficacy and efficiency of the law, and reality.

>>9398334
It's bullshit.

>>9398385
If the only purpose of morality is to organize society, then if man is removed from society, morality is useless. Your argument is bad and you should feel bad.

>Nihilism is a position that explicitly states that we can't assign meaning to anything.
It literally doesn't.

Nihilism: the rejection of all religious and moral principles, often in the belief that life is meaningless.

early 19th century: from Latin nihil ‘nothing’ + -ism.

>>9400276

this means nothing to a nihilist

>>9400286
Sure. Which means that we need not speak with or tolerate nihilistic cancer. The conveying of meaning falls flat on them. It stops being speech and becomes input.

>>9398198
relativity =/= subjectivity
objective facts can be nested within subjective experience

you're argument is self refuting and boils down to "there is no meaning, therefore you ought not derive meaning from this sentence" it is fallacious on at least 3 levels explicitly and quite as many more in it's implications. this should be clear on immediate self reflection, and is why you are bereft of any serious replies.
no one is going to take you seriously regardless how many times you insult their memes pal.

>>9398017
What is phenomenology?

>>9398778
Idiot.

The tern is not describing a 'moral' type of nihilism, rather it is describing a nihilistic outlook on morality

>>9398036
That's a moron, you ox

>>9398017
The same can be said against your claim.

Of course, both are complete bullshit unless we decide to reside only in the limited sphere of nihilism itself.

One never actually escapes the truth of nihilism, though. That's the point. What you're referring to are what I have termed the "delusions of productive adulthood", which reinforce procreation, religion, purpose in general. In language familiar to /lit/: spooks, more or less (my sense is slightly different but not by much).

Quite the opposite of being limit(ing), nihilism is totalizing, covering and negating everything. But please appeal to maturity some more.

t. not the OP the OP is right.

No, you don't. You have PRECISELY fallen into the trap which I have explained here:

>>9402737

Let me be absolutely clear. I have worked hard at jobs, been rewarded and recognized for ability, it feels good, that sort of thing. whoop-de-doo.

I know better than you the delusion of meaning through the performance of adulthood. Ironically, several literary adults vaguely sense the same thing, yet reject total nihilism (Nietzsche, Sartre, Erikson), and the irony of this is that the edgier among them /sense its truth/.

To reject nihilism, to pretend that any escape from it is possible. This is the fundamental intellectual error of the existentialists, of Nietzsche.

The 16-year-old vacant edgelords who themselves not having yet become adults, are not yet in a position to understand that they really are actually right all along. And yet it's so obviously so, to the hate of anything with a pretense of productive adult society, even the socialized edgy-adult who tired of their former, more-right selves. The Void snickering.

Legitimacy is a moral category, since you're using it as a means to a moral end, regardless of the amoral context of the discussion. Moral nihilism just means you're lying to yourself to feel better. (also a moral judgment)

I thought death was also ruled out in those 3 too (absurdism, existentialism, nihilism).

>>9400744
Not him, but it applies in the reverse either way; a "moral nihilist" and a "nihilist outlook on morals" are basically interchangeable because most discussion on nihilism has an intrisic dilemma at it's core. In other words, you're being redundant.

All nihilists are, in a way, moral... And would have "nihilist outlook on morals."

>>9398017
In order to have a rational discussion about this, you need to have certain epistemic standards. Those epistemic standards are precisely as strong as ethical standards.

>>9398242
Nihilism manifests as acts, same with Altruism, and not as the idle mindsets. We are all egoists at the core who tend to lean one way or another, but nihilism and altruism tend to result in death.
