I consider myself a nihilist, To me nihilism is the realization that nothing matters but that which you choose to matter. All thanks to the raven claw door riddles oddly enough. It not that we are insignificant ,but that we are unaware of our scale and the importance or lack there of, of our own being.

I personally dislike butters his "kindness" isn't real it's fake he really is naive but When he is older and lost his naive way to look at things he kills thousands he is a horrible person.

I like how south park is usually bizarre but they still take these things seriously and make it realistic

I see radical compassion as a clear opposite to nihilism, or true nihilism. Giving love to everyone and everything even if you don’t understand it. That’s even how I see butters character

I'm a big proponent of something I like to call optimistic nihilism. Literally nothing matters to any degree whatsoever. Everything you do will will eventually be lost to the sands of time. However, just because nothing matters doesn't mean that nothing should matter to you. Because if you just treat it as if nothing will ever matter to you, you will live a sad and lonely existence. If you refuse to create meaning for yourself, you'll never be able to appreciate anything you have and will stagnate. Stagnation is entropy. Entropy is death. To stagnate is to die piece by piece. This became even more obvious to me when I was in a car accident back in 2017 that put me from being on the track of getting a blue collar job to only just now landing a job as a burger flipper after physical therapy and painkillers, and even then I still have troubles sleeping due to pain. I've experienced being imprisoned by your own body and the fact that the worst prison is your own mind. This is why you should experience things and create. Because if you fail utterly, at least nobody will remember it and if you succeed, you'll be able to take solace in the fact you made your dreams reality. But hey, what do I know? There's always a minute chance everything matters because we all become eternal through technology and your PC and/or phone files will be found centuries upon centuries later by anthropologists. This is why I always keep a folder named "porn" on my PC with nothing but a text document stating your princess is in another castle. Just in case I get to cosmically troll someone in the far future, assuming my SSD isn't put in a landfill.

They might be seen as polar opposites in their extremes. But these extremes hardly exist in real life and I believe the inbetweens of these opposites would be entangled and not linear. Butters isn't radically compassionate. He was abused by his crazy parents to be compliant aF and adopt toxic positivity. Which is much worse then being a goth kid for a while. When he gets rejected by the vampire kids in another episode he creates the plot that destroys them and later in life his identity splits into his antisocial alter ego Victor Chaos. So there is definitly a surpressed dark side to his compassion! Somtimes it is ultimatly more compassionate to rebel or embrace nihilism for a while, to externalize or ease inner struggles, get a sense of self and breath for a moment. Like in hard times or when dealing with abusive stuff. Compassion and Nihilism both have their place.

@@jakethejax Yeah I heard the term coined a long ass time ago but never remembered who originally used it. Nihilism by itself isn't even mutually exclusive with optimism tbh, it's just that a majority of nihilists became edgy militant atheist keyboard warriors that like to act like Nietzsche was trying to tell everyone they should emotionally debilitate themselves as a philosophy. It's why optimistic nihilism needs to exist as a term, because there's enough of a schism in the nihilists that it needed to split from modern contemporary nihilism. Life is like clay. indistinct until it has been molded and shaped by both the hands of those that brought it into being and the elements that created the conditions to allow the clay to form. After it has spent much time being shaped, dried and wet over and over again will it eventually solidify in the kiln. After many, many years though it will chip and break away and eventually will be dust. However, sometimes a fragment will last for centuries longer than anticipated. Either way though, that clay will eventually go back into the earth and be reused over and over again, just like water or anything else really. It's pretty zen in a funny way.

@@hinglemccringleberry7265 Well the reading is gonna have to be entirely dependent on whether or not you see Chaos as a split personality due to dissociative identity disorder, or if he's just picked up an antisocial personality disorder. Because if it's DID, that means there's no darkside to his compassion, instead he was traumatized as a child to the point where the Choas personality was created as a way to mentally protect Butters and it's a mental illness that cannot be cured, thus there lies zero correlation between his positivity and negativity since they'd be two entirely different alters with different memories (This is supported by the After COVID special part 2) If he's got an antisocial personality disorder, then he's just acting out. So I think framing it as if he picked up toxic positivity and having a repressed part of him being antisocial would be irresponsible as that would be like claiming a schizophrenic has a dark side to their personality just because their brain conjures up hallucinations that try to convince them people are lying to them. I think that for there to be a dark side to someone, they'd have to have agency over that aspect of themselves. Butters lacks said agency and it can never be fixed, only treated with medication and therapy. So Chaos as a person could change, but Butters himself is still a great person to the end.

This was the episode that made me feel that South Park really had so much more to it than just jokes. This episode spoke to me at such a young age where I thought there was no point in life if it only got worse, and it still speaks to me even at my lowest points. What a beautiful thing that I can feel the way I do.

As one of goth kids, I can say that the goth kids on the show aren't the worst representation of us. Their angst is melodramatic, but it's also artistic. They are trying to get Stan to open up with his feelings, though they aren't comfortable with hearing his desires. There is a sort of.. comfortable familiarity with depression, which is why Stan actually does fit in with them. Stan literally ends up an alcoholic in the future, because he never quite accepts himself. Butters on the other hand, knows exactly who he is. Butters has this weird charisma to him. If he's trying to suck up to someone he considers better than him, he's usually terrible at it. But when he is social to someone he finds inferior? He manages to make an army of chaos minions in the game Stick of Truth, and in the show proper. In one future, he's bankrupted hundreds to thousands of people. In a different future, he's the manager of the Denny's Applebees Plus. Both show that Butters knows what he wants and goes for it.

When my cat passed away back in 2016, I was honestly falling into a depression, thinking that I was never going to come home happy since I was used to hearing meows and her tapping my shoulder. :(. Then she was gone, so, it wasn’t the same. My friend sent me the last clip of Butter’s speech of it being a beautiful sadness. I had her since I was seven years old and honestly, it was hard letting her go. I felt Butter’s pain until the message came to me. The show told me not to be so negative and try and move on from the sadness. I moved on and rescued another cat

It’s funny. I went through a stage ages ago where I would stay up all night horrified at the idea of being forgotten. The idea of never accomplishing anything and then just dying. Although, after I got through the initial shock and anxiety of this realisation, this force of death and life overall being completely coincidental was the biggest comfort for me. The thing is, one day you are going to pass and at some point everyone will forget you. But in the same extent, isn’t that beautiful? This really allows you to conceptualise that in the end life is meaningless. So why should you worry at all about anything? This is one of my main drives today. Yes, life can hurt but in the same way isn’t it completely up to us when and where that pain ends and begins? You’re here and..one day you won’t be. This is not to say that your issues are not worth attention, but more to say they are not as big as we perceive them to be. Strangers on the street could never know about your struggles. You could be anyone to them. A complete bundle of possibilities. They say it’s only as children but even now aren’t we only what we want to be? Who cares about other people! In this moment is you, it is I and it is them. In the next moment, someone will be gone. Isn’t that wonderful. Life is meaningless which in a way means it is completely mouldable. Life is what you make it because it wasn’t made to be anything.

@@attilaschweininger6867 This is one of the things I had considered originally when coming to terms with Nihilism. Although, pain has always been nature. Yes, it is sad that pain is around although it has never been purely humans causing such pains. The animals, the nature. Everything around you could bring someone misfortune. Be it through hurricanes or snapping bones. Pain is the most natural part of life. Do not misinterpret my words, I am not trying to justify murder or death. All I am hoping to say is that this was always part of life and honestly I feel the realisation of Nihilism would not cause these deaths and crimes to raise or fall. You can choose to believe otherwise. The reason I have so much faith in Nihilism, is that the realisation of time and how short it is may help with the release of negative emotions that do relate to crimes. Because life is so short I don’t believe that it is worth wasting the time in anger or resentment. Rather, focusing on yourself and your self improvement. Why focus and waste so much precious time on others who hurt you so when you can instead push forward with positivity and improve on yourself and your situation. You are free to think otherwise but I hope this eased some of the thoughts that come with Nihilism. Feel free to ask me any questions. This is purely my opinion and you are free to interpret Nihilism any way you want. Reality is so complicated it is impossible for one person to be correct.

What about the evolution of the mind and consciousness, breaking free from the dark abyss, escaping reality. Life is all about power and learning abilities, the only meaningless part is death and that comes after life, so death is a different reality separated from the Here & Now. Nihilism got nothing on the life-force consciousness, it's part of reality and will always exist, since consciousness is eternal life is eternal. Life happened so consciousness could emerge, there's nothing meaningless about it. Most living entities are not ready for the power of oneness, but time will fix all of that. 🏵🌸💮🌸🏵🌸💮🌸🏵

There is a different nihilism too. Where there is an empty void of disruption, corruption, and vastness or braindead washed-up memes, they are going to the wasteland of the nihility. if you don't know what i mean, read Finnigan's wake.

This episode was really emotional and had a really great message

I sort of fell into the nihilstic mindset (mostly in a good way) a few years ago. All I can say is that from my personal experiences, it's just made life a bit nore stress-free and overall easier to live through. You stop complaining and sulking, knowing that there's not much point in doing so (stoic philosophy). Espacially when it comes to stuff like school grades and exams

Butters and Ike are my top 2 fave characters of South Park. I also like Kyle and Stan, _not goth Stan_

This reminds me of what bill hicks said about life. "Dont worry, life is just a ride. It can go up and down and all around, sometimes it's really loud and really bright, but it's ok. Its just a ride."

There will be highs and lows in life. You just gotta learn how to cope with it. Otherwise, life will seem much more depressing than it should be.

Dude your videos are amazing, they make me think of life in different ways and have genuinely helped me when dealing with stuff like this. Thank you so much

This is the best video on Nihilism that I've seen, to me personally. It touches very much on what I try to tell people I mean by Nihilism, or Absurdism more specifically. Beautiful video.

South Park has helped with my mental health so much. it has made me realize what toxic things I have almost fallen into and what aspects of life and happiness that I have been neglecting. Some episodes really show that you don't have to neglect your happiness or just wait for the day your dream reality comes true but instead you should learn how to deal with problems and sadness so you can reach your dream life.

I always had a thing for philosophy. I can say with conviction that existential nihilism, more exactly Absurdism, has helped me a lot with my severe clinical depression. It is strange, because one could think this kind of thought school would be dangerous to some with a very serious problem that simple removes the will of existing. It is still not easy and it will never be. But it keep me grounded on those hard moments. I began studying Nietzsche and Kierkegaard, but it was the positive outlook on the works of Albert Camus that sold me on the Absurdist variant of Nihilism. In some aspects, the video approaches the views of Camus more than Nietzsche. Camus works in interplay between the absurd of innate meaningless of existence in contrast our capacity of finding meaning in life. He called this absurd. This episode has hints of this on the acceptance of the pain of radical freedom of meaningless as part of life. In fact, the absurdist analogy of the myth of Sisyphus applies very well here: "The struggle itself ... is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy". Finding happiness in building meaning in a world that is neutral to your very existence is a very uplifting message to me.

Things really aren't going my way, it never really has. I turn 20 this year too, but I keep telling myself that life is still worth living. We weren't born just to feel like poop everyday, or to revolve your whole life around certain people, instead of doing what's best or good for you.

You know, there was this period of time during high-school when I was kinda feeling nihilistic. I didn't really "react" to stuff the way others would so it made me wonder if I could even feel emotions anymore. It was kinda ridiculous looking back, but that's just how my mind worked back then. And then one day, I had a dream where my dad died. I swear, that is the only day I could remember where I woke up crying. So yeah, needless to say, I'd rather feel sad than empty.

Ironically Butters' description of how to handle sadness and frustration is actually closer to what being Goth is about than what the goth kids say. I actually knew a group of kids like that in school lol.

nihilism, from my point of view is one of the strongest ways for an individual to truly set oneself free of all boundaries this life is forceing upon us

Great video and great lesson here. I’m truly grateful for this channel, your videos have pulled me out of some very dark places. You may not know it but you’re really impacting some of our lives. Thank you for this.

As a nihilistic person myself, I think the best way to define my viewpoint on life is both a quote from VanRipper’s video game Helltaker, (a silly, stupid story about a guy getting a harem of hot demon girls, which also happens to be one of my favorite games) which was “Life will be full of suffering no matter how you live it. So you might as well have some fun while you’re at it.” And a quote from my perspective: “Just because life has no meaning doesn’t mean life is meaningless.”

Hey I’ve got to be honest, your videos got me out of a deep state of depression where I didn’t want to do anything and I thought that nothing I did mattered. You let me see a new perspective on almost anything with your videos especially this one, thanks so much and keep up the great work

Hey, man. I have absolutely no idea if you'll ever see this, but I just wanted to share something with you: Back in September 2021, I lost: my girlfriend of 3 years, my job, my side hustle, had to leave my apartment, was broke, and was homeless for a week. I was thankful that my family took me in when i needed someone. I would spend the next year and a half in the deepest and darkest depression ive ever experienced (I was later diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, ADHD, PTSD, and a handful of other things). Through out that time, I watched and listened to a lot of your videos. I watched your South Park videos, and your Simpsons Rock Bottom Depression nearly every day, and you have no idea how much it helped me to pull myself out of my hole, get my ass to therapy, and start the climb back to where I was. Thankfully, I went even further than where I was. I'm now on my own again, have a great job, am going back to college, found love again, and have been able to really appreciate the little things in life that make it truly beautiful. I just wanted to say thank you for what you do. I honestly wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you and the thought provoking content you make. God bless you so much.

Been watching a few nihilism videos here lately and i think this my favorite one so far.

Great episode. Butters killed it. Excellent video.

There are a lot of episodes of South Park that I like to say "this is my favorite one" But this one. This particular one. After everything, it's still the episode I like the most. I'm glad you covered it with such scrutiny. Nihilism is a philosophy South Park simply adores, and it's part of the reason they can tackle such mature subject matters at times. This episode is probably where their wisdom stands out the most. You did it justice.

I just really don't see how people can have a positive outlook when things are going horrible for them.
