You can go find a headline about "Trump slammed / in hot water / goes to court for Huge Problem X" from about any week for the last 10 years on Reddit, if you think considering the US a failed impotent state captured entirely by a corrupt administration is nihilism I hope you'll share your dealer's number
> we will all get to watch this slowly unravel however Trump wants, will we not?
My understanding is that they consider this part nihilistic, though it sounds more like apathy, jadedness, and learned helplessness with a dash of catastrophizing (and a hefty amount of privilege) to me.
For the record, I was born in the USSR, and grew up in Ukraine in the 1990s. I can assure you that the US is neither a failed nor an impotent state by a long shot.
Not yet, at least.
And as a Ukrainian, I can also assure you that giving up this easily, and this early is straight up silly.
