The word nihilism isn't what pop culture or the internet widely portrays it as. The "nihilism" that we all know is just extreme pessimism with a different name.
Nihilism basically means the belief in nothing. It is a philosophical idea with different positions in varying subjects, such as ontological, epistemological, axiological, etc. One might be an epistemological nihilist on a same subject while ontologically not. It's complicated if you aren't familiar with these terms.
But in short nihilism means that you hold the position of denying the existence of something and even if it does exist, you deny its importance.
Now that is out of the way, what does this have to do with normies? How could they ever be considered nihilistic when they are known to be the classic NPC?
Well let's think about it for a second, when have they ever held a position in any political or philosophical subject? Yes, they may act like they care and geniunely believe in the current thing, but deep down they don't give any shit about it. They only do what the programing tells them to do to fit in with the herd, outside of that they hold no belief in anything.
If you ask me, even a hardcore reddit nihilist could nevER topple the sheer apathy of the normie.
