I believe you used Nihilism wrong in your previous comment based on what you’ve written here. I think more fitting words are hopelessness, pessimism, or defeatism.
Nihilism is simply refutation of meaning within the world. You can still think kids are great and that life is worth living while believing that there is no meaning to life or any of the other nihilistic assertions. You can even choose to attribute new meaning to your life, as Nietzsche’s Übermensch does. See also Absurdism.
Seems to be that while trade was helpful in the past, it is now an obsolete practice that creates power imbalances and should be abolished as a practice entirely.
The tagline they have on trade-free.org is:

oh boy do i have a new suggestion for you (I think it’s mostly new, or not in common discourse). Haven’t read through all their reasoning or evidence. It’s just extremely out of left field.
Yes, there is philosophical pessimism and skepticism within nihilism, but those can be mostly or entirely separated from the philosophical stances espoused by nihilists.
I would argue that most of the comments we see in this thread actually show is more of David Benatar’s antinatalist argument which is apart of philosophical pessimism. You don’t have to be a nihilist to agree with what he is arguing in it.
