If you were morally nihilistic how could you adopt social darwinism?
And by the way, moral nihilism is amoral not immoral. And only when it comes to objective morality, it doesn't discount empathy, which is subjective and yet still relevant to actually caring about people.

Once again, social darwinism isn't moral nihilism.
