existential nihilism doesn't require that there is no meaning, just that there is no inherent meaning. Meaning can still be created and received through recognition of others.
Those who stop at the breakdown of old morality and wallow in filth are nothinglords who missed the point of breaking down the old social constructs, that is, to build new better ones and even later break those down again and so on... That is what history is, that is what the dialectic is - the eternal process of change and exchange.
There is objectively no meaning in the universe, but IMO nihilism is cringe. Absurdism is the way to go.
absurdism is also cringe because it implies that we should be content with a reality of meaninglessness rather than forging things that are meaningful to us. indeed the problem of the Absurd is not real, an issue only present in a culture that is used to relying on God for meaning
