Has anyone developed a kind-nihilism?

Nihilism is often characterized as pessimistic, cynical, negative, etc. It seems that nihilism is actually the most neutral position with respect to belief. But it seems that without allowing for absurdism, someone could be a nihilist but also find that kindness -pragmatically speaking- is worth it.

Read  The Sirens of Titan by Vonnegut. It's not exactly nihilism, Vonnegut is an absurdist who conveys an incredibly deep value of kindness and love in his work against a backdrop of meaninglessness in human endeavors.

Edit: read this with Slaughterhouse 5. Sirens shows his absurdist perspective of the world, sort of "humans are meaning-seeking/making machines in a meaningless world" and then slaughterhouse shows the horrors of human violence and conveys his urge for kindness. Vonnegut believed the meaning of life was to love those who are around to be loved, but he believed that only humans could decide meaning, it is a human faculty and the universe at large has no faculty for "meaningfulness"
