Reminds of Obama and others lecturing Americans about what our values are. Of course what it means to them is government solutions for social justice.

If the word "Value" develops a muddied definition, then Value for Value loses much of its basic power.

It seems to me there are a lot of people pushing nihilistic agendas but don't know it. They confuse their altruism with benevolence.

Nihilism appears the a specific type of mind set. Destruction for the sake of destruction appears to be their reason for existence. If it exists and was built by others it must be destroyed and replaced with the void of destruction.
I feel nothing but pity and sorrow for these people. they admire nothing but destruction and learve noting but ashes.
