Can somebody be so nihilistic that they recognize nihilism as an institution and reject it? What comes then?

Striving toward an impossible goal of absolute isolation.

The short answer: no. It is impossible to reject a notion that rejects all notions of value and expect to arrive at something after that. It is quite literally a dead end and can only be "rejected" or escaped by either ignoring it, backpeddling away from it, or escape from it [which might be death or isolation, though neither of these can truly be considered an effective measure].

Probably the most obvious way out for a nihilist is to acknowledge the validity of factuality over the validity of possibility, simply because the real cannot be judged the same way as the hypothetical can. Or, in other words, most nihilists tend to become fatalists. Which isn't really much of a step back, if you think about it.
