to:
If someone holds to ideals of happiness, kindness, and being \\\"good\\\" to people, such that they believe those ideals are not arbitrary (i.e., even if they don\\\'t believe these principles were handed down by by a deity, and that they are simply issues of practicality, they still believe the principles matter and cannot be ignored or inverted without undesirable consequences for people\\\'s lives), then how is that person a nihilist? Isn\\\'t believing in overarching abstract principles the opposite of nihilism?

Maybe the trope\\\'s name does make sense after all -- because the anti-nihilist is not a nihilist. But that would seem to require changing the description.
