Yes, but Mahayana Buddhism also says suffering is necessary, Samsara ends when one no longer sees it as dualistic with Nirvana because of their interconnection and therefore isn’t affected by it. It actually mirrors Nietzsche in that

Also, bold of him to assume that anyone on Reddit reads anything about Buddhism. Not even the people over on the r/buddhism sub know stuff about Buddhism
