People should not use terms--like nihilism--if they have no
idea what they mean.

I think you could make a case that all this mindless flag-waving
is a strong sign of the kind of nihilism Nietzsche talked about.

Rather than just being vaguely critical, then, could you explain what you mean by the term? The article appears quite consistent with the primary dictionary definitions of the term (a denial of meaning/value to life, and of moral truth, particularly).
