@lacybarry I guess there are several posible explanations:

#fake modesty to avoid be asked to care for the world or others "I am just surviving, so what can I do? I can't change anything myself!...I am hardly living". In that way they avoid people asking them for help in the future.

The #System appreciates attitudes of #self #punishment which can be only words or more than words because is a sign of obedience, low self stem or looking humble is important to keep everyone far from their real power and the willingness to organise with others.

#lazy to think and not really needing others due to their privileges, or having this fantasy that they do #all by themselves, forgetting that even their farts would not be possible without a net of people doing all kind of works, activities or being peaceful so there is some order that allows they to go to grocery shop!

#selfishness because they don't really feel something must change as current situation is comfortable enough for them. So they don't really mean their Apocalipsis like ways of thinking, if they did they minimum would be making preparations for it. So eve they can be climate change activists they don't really believe on that as they don't change any behaviour or cut any consumerism apart from poses.

Being #nihilistic uses less brain resources or is more adequate to people refusing to use their thinking devices since they are young... putting your mind to #think implies doing this on their own and organise with other to change all what they diagnose from their sofa as #hopeless and horrible...

Etc.

1 If #Trump genuinely doesn’t care about the #stockmarket, that’s probably a bad thing, and not just from a self-interested shareholder’s perspective. It means one of the restraints on his unhinged behaviour is gone, and his #nihilistic appetite for the #destruction of everything …

@Canevecchio Trump is following through on an old #GroverNorquist plan. The #DestructionOfGovernment. Chaos is his goal. It's not his plan. There is no plan. It's his chaotic personality brought up in the #BubbleOfPrivilege where he had no barriers. The only positive for this #Nihilistic #RaceToTheBottom is that the destruction will be greatest in #RedStates https://youtu.be/VjxE2RTevMQ?feature=shared

#RaceYouToTheBottom #NewMedicine The world takes on a whole new set of values when both #Libs and #Trumpublicans turn #Nihilistic and wanna burn the whole fuckin place down. Because the only thing that matters is that you personally are standing on the #RedStateFuckers below you. https://youtu.be/VjxE2RTevMQ?feature=shared

I really don't want to be a bitter, #nihilistic #misanthrope, but holy shit, it's really difficult. I'm done with trying to interact with people online. It's a waste of time.

On a parallel note, has anyone noticed #boomers and #genx in the US especially, basically behave #irl like a poorly moderated online forum?

Nm, don't answer that. I don't care.

@LouisIngenthron

Stare into the #nihilistic abyss long enough and you, too, can become an #Ubermensch.

@alternet_rss_bot We have witnessed the rise of the #PoliticalEntrepreneur and #PurchasedPolitican #KyrstenSinema is a #Predatory #Nihilistic #Narcissist just like Trump

@benross But it's called the #ReproductiveSystem because it's for #reproduction. I didn't say bodies are designed, I said there's function #DesignButNoDesigner. #NaturalSelection is the #BlindWatchmaker. I agree our universe is #nihilistic, only people create the rules about #sex, but that doesn't mean there's no #reason behind the shape of wings, fins, penises. I don't know why #Evolution has to be denied for #TransRights, the two are not related. #ISupportTransRights

The @GOP Is the Party of #FYou It was barely a #political #party bef., but now it’s a #nihilistic, #corrupt, #fake #populist #scam. And we are all SO MUCH worse off because of the #power, #influence, #hatred & #corruption they espouse & #legislate - GROSS OLD PERVERT Party!

My opinion: The #meaning crisis is going to hit us first and worst. Despairing, #nihilistic people do terrible things. We're seeing the beginning of it now with all the mass shootings. It's the #guns of course, but it's also this. The more people who lose their dreams and livelihoods, the more violence and suicides we will see. In fact that could be the outcome: the human race simply gives up.
BTW, don't just take my pessimism & run. I would watch the video. Maybe take it in more than one bite.

@marcelias good job NC I'm looking for more good news like this.
We spend too much time amplifying the bad that it is easy to get #nihilistic and to start accepting it as normal.

Unable to find a place, they adopted a #nihilistic rejection of society, expressing it not in the #Marxist language of the 1960s and ’70s but in its current equivalent: Islam. The same logic could explain why so many white Catholic French kids had become #jihadis. -- roy

@witchescauldron
Agree, many so-called #progressives are really just #identityLeftists that harbour #nihilistic thoughts against people they disagree with.

Just another form of #tribalism.

When the #identityLeft cannot refute a point using #logic, they often scream, "Don't want to talk about it!" or a favourite "That's #political, I don't do #politics". Some even say they just want humans to die or "Go to #Mars", another signal of #nihalism.
