>>13090740Nietzsche is not a big fan of nihilism. He is happy that christcuckery is being destroyed, but he is not enthused by the idea that people will just become passive nihilist losers who only think about the present and are to cowardly and comfortable to try anything great.
(Here I am focusing on the West, where Christianity was the dominant worldview for a long time)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_manBut Nietzsche also poses the Last Man(passive nihilist), as the worst of the worst, the total opposite of the Übermensch. The opposite of passive nihilism is clearly NOT active nihilism, the opposite of the Last Man would be someone who is both ACTIVE and NOT-NIHILIST(basic logic, see negation of a composition).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9CbermenschThe idea is that in the vacuum of ideals generated by the death of God(Christianity ends and we get nihilism) the Super Man will be able to create a new set of values that will be the ones to guide humanity henceforth(or at least guide some humans that are able to follow the ideals of the Super Man). Thus when the Super Man is done we do not have nihilism anymore, but instead we have the Super Man created values. Since Nietzsche sees himself as living in the post-Christianity age of vacuum he sometimes describes himself as a nihilist, but at the same times he is the most preachy mother fucker ever and is very clear about the values he wants the Super Man to espouse: Creativity, bravery, lack of empathy, being a weirdo, being a nerd, being edgy, dominating stuff(basically a sigma-male).
So, that being said, I think that it is almost impossible to call Nietzsche a Nihilist when he clearly had a set of ideals he was trying to preach. He was also very vocal about the ideals he thought were wrong.
