Peikoff describes Obama as an almost-but-not-yet-fully consistent egalitarian nihilist


So...he believes in nothing?

Close enough as makes no odds. 0bama and his handlers are motivated by the will to power. Ideology - socialist, fascist, communist - is just the particular horse they ride on their way to achieving totalitarian power. It means nothing to them. They are driven by their insatiable desire to control mankind - nothing less. And nothing more. We all know where that road leads.

These people are monsters - killers without conscience. There will be no peaceful way to remove them from power.

There is no belief. There is simply the utilization of whatever works at any given time for the purpose of obtaining any given goal. All of that can change at any time.

Will to power. Ends justify means. “I won.”

Identifying this crowd with any of the recognizable political ideologies might work for the purpose of unifying an opposition, but they simply laugh at that tactic, turn around and imply the opposite just long enough to confuse a vital fraction of the electorate and, for good measure, have their propagandists mount a double-think campaign using the epithet, whatever it might be, as a descriptive of their critics.

I know this is facile and not philosophy, but egalitarian nihilism means they despise everyone equally and are driven to destroy everything. The only hierarchy of values I can discern is “We need to win and we need you to lose.”
