The context is that the people who tend to espouse this line of reasoning tend to be new atheist types who do have extremely emotional and moralizing arguments they make all the time in other spheres of life. They’re hypocrites who selectively employ this type of philosophical nihilism (nihilism isn’t “you should commit suicide btw, it’s “nothing matters or has inherent meaning”) when it suits them and ignore it when it doesn’t.

This type of person is very well known and hated on hexbear, the new atheist “secular” chauvinist who also happens to hate Islam and always talks in a clash of civilizations idealist manner. For some reason nothing matters we are just apes on a rock man, but also those brown apes over there have an evil culture. Sam Harris, Hitchens, Musk, Dawkins, Maher, you know the type.
