**** CULTURAL ANARCHISM. ****
* "The red and black is politically-ideologically a symbol of certain movements, although it is generally used by Anarchists (including Nihilists), Communists, Socialists and other Far-Left people. The black represents Anarchism and the red represents Far Left and Socialist ideals. In my opinion, if you really want to make a statement in public, you can only wear the red-black colours if you know the 'true' meaning, politically-ideologically (or religiously!), and in some way have Anarchist roots. This is often in combination with a (sub)cultural identity, belonging to an alternative culture that exists outside or on the edge of the mainstream, popular and predominant culture(s) in society. Compare it with the more politically charged term 'countercultures'."

* "NIHILISM AS A COUNTERCULTURE."
* "Countercultures are cultures whose values and norms of behaviour differ substantially from those of regular society, sometimes in direct opposition to mainstream cultural mores. Countercultural movements such as Nihilism, especially from the 19th century, express the ethos and aspirations of a specific group at the time. The problem with Nihilism as a form of Anarchism was that it always remained a very small oppositional force, coming out of the social class of the petty bourgeoisie, that kept its distance from the other critical social group, the landed gentry, and that there was a deep social divide between them (the NIHILISTS) and the 'ordinary' people, the peasants - on whom they focused socially and politically - and the emerging working-class proletariat. As a result, Nihilism as a counterculture couldn’t bring about dramatic cultural or social changes in Russian or Dutch East Indies society, which ultimately – unfortunately! – worked to the advantage of the rapidly emerging Marxism and Social Democracy, both of which focused on the new working class. Today, we, NIHILISTS, are still a separate group or subculture within Anarchism."

* Opinions that I read on the Internet regarding how Nihilism relates to culture, philosophy of life and 'socializing', social interaction with others.

* “In the Nihilist, an anti-cultural, natural egoism manifests itself, behind his/her rebellion lies the desire to identify with his/her 'lower' nature against a higher meaning of life, while simultaneously repressing a cultural conscience.”

* TRUE OR FALSE. * Namaste, my dear Christiaan. I think Nihilism is a political ideology, a form of Anarchism and also a (sub)culture. Well, when it comes to how Nihilism relates to culture, philosophy of life, and social interactions, I heard on a certain YouTube channel about Nihilism that "Nihilists don't care about showing emotions and feelings, or don't care about people." Pretty heavy stuff. This is in stark contrast to the Nihilism you describe, and your videos also express a different Nihilism. I especially like the connection you make with Hinduism and Mahayana Buddhism. You show a completely different side of this often 'dark' portrayed ideology. 💪👍💪👍❤🤗🤗
