Nihilism is the truth of the world. Everyone is deluding themselves otherwise. Nearly everyone with significant power is nihilistic. Without god (and even if there was a god) there are no morals. All we have is genetics. Morals are just bias.

Using nihilism as a negative descriptor is funny when nihilism as a philosophy isn't against or for anything.

Reality is of course uncomfortable for most people which is why I'm getting downvoted :)
