    US isn’t Russia. Nor is this something no one else has ever done. It’s basically an argument from nihilism to claim that commonly solved social problems are unsolvable or aren’t part of natural progress in society.

    Climate doomerism is also a form of nihilism BTW, although it is off-topic.

      I didn’t say we’re Russia. If that’s what you took from my comment, then you definitely missed the point.

      I don’t know why you think it’s some kind of gotcha, I know what nihilism is.
