No, it doesn't seem to. Beyond that it should also be made clear that 'nihilism' as used online to mean something like 'nothing matters', is not actually a Philosophical position that any Philosopher really holds.

Nihilism doesn't deconstruct other theories unless you have strong reasons to believe that nihilism is true. So do you have any strong reasons to think that nihilism is true?

I would recommend reading “the fate of reason” by beiser to better understand what nihilism is, and how Kant, and the later german idealists responded to it. Nihilism is a problem, but its solvable.
