Also, when someone accuses you of treating them like ****, you ought to respond by ridiculing them for demanding something as absurd as common courtesy.

Circles back to the whole "it is what it is" malarkey. A lot of "profound" advice people give seems to revolve around accepting the status quo even when it might be wrong, because apparently individuals can never hold sway over what happens to them.

Again, irritatingly nihilistic.

To be be fair, nihilism is basically realism so at least I find it kind of hard to describe actual, accurate descriptions of reality as trite.

Being a defeatist isn't really nihilism. Especially when it comes to maintaining the status quo. To me nihilism was never 'Why do anything when life is meaningless?' it's more 'Why do things I don't care about when life is meaningless?'

"It is what it is." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Defeatist is definitely a better word to describe it. At least nihilism at it's core implies at least a certain level of productivity in one's existence- just plain giving up is different.

I don't think you know what nihilism is.

Nihilism is not dark clothes and dreary word play.

It's rainbow dreads and lots of drugs.
