It’s a bit exaggerated, but reasonable. Having a nihilistic view that everything is zero sum certainly seems correlated to depression [0]. I’m sure that there are lots of folks who think this way and don’t have clinical depression.

>It’s a bit exaggerated, but reasonable.

Yeah labeling someone as having a mood disorder because of their economic perspectives -- which are perfectly and reasonably formulated -- is weirdly... cult like. It's not reasonable at all.

>Having a nihilistic

There is absolutely nothing nihilistic about that view point. Not even close? Perhaps choose a different label.
