Conntroversial take: there is no morality. There is only Consequence.

The Consequence of letting murderers go. The Consequence of letting invaders into your home. The Consequence of hiring incompetence to build.

Consequence isn't always deserved. It can be as simple as the Consequence of ignorance or the Consequence of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The world is shaped by the Consequences of those before us! The implication of karma or sin suggests we deserve the world we live in. Does not sit well!

What about when there is no consequence or when the consequences is unseen to the perprator?

Disagree with premises mirroring "if a tree fell but no one heard it, then did it truly make a sound?" There is always Consequence. What happens is just as important as what does not— the purpose of a system is what it does! That said, we should not expect to know or understand every Consequence, but keep History in mind when taking Action.

What I was trying to say with that question was that an evil deed can take place where the perprator does not see any consequences, but it is still evil. The falling tree makes a sound. There can even be evil things done consensually and no one involved perceives the consequences. The consequences can come later and / or to unrelated parties. So it is very incomplete to generalize the entire concept of morality to just consequence.

There is right and wrong regardless of the consequences or lack thereof. That is what morality is. We cant always wait for the results to find out what is right or wrong to do. We must know what is evil before we act.

Although new ground always awaits, our world is not an infant! There is over five thousand years of History to reflect on! Vlad the Impaler is interpreted as an evil figure, but there is no arguing his Results. Conversely, no one will cry for our "evil" Nation if we are successfully vanquished!

Let me simplify. A shoplifter goes uncaught. Was it moral / okay to shoplift bc there were no consequences? Is the shop owner evil or immoral bc he suffers the consequences?

What is the evil deed: the theft or the failure to prevent it?

Morality is survival of the ethnic group. It's absolute. It's cross-cultural and cross-species. Peak morality is peak tribal intergenerational fertility - not just more babies for yourself, but for your people and descendants too.

However, this does not produce a universal moral code, only an instinctive ethnic conscience. Stealing isn't "wrong" for the nigger any more than it is for the seagull. Murdering antelopes is wrong for antelopes, not for lions.

This is not a "belief", it's a law of Nature. If other moralities exist, they are subsumed by populations more closely following evolutionary morality. Feminist societies are always doomed, slated to return to true morality or be conquered by those who do, without fail, even if it takes over a century.

Moral systems other than evolution are just inferior mutations of the pure drive to survive.

Our entire sense of White right and wrong is based on the best way for group survival in a harsh environment filled with exclusively other Whites.

You’re still combining philosophy and sophistry here. If objective morality exists (it does), one’s personal opinion of its existence is irrelevant. “Do you believe” is the wrong way to contextualize the question.

“Objective mortality exists; why don’t people recognize and adhere to it?”

The answer, of course, is that modern society allows them to temporarily abdicate the responsibility (and avoid the consequences) of denying it… in direct exchange for physical pleasure.

Because people have forgotten about God and turned to trust in money and material possessions to save them.

Literally one of the oldest stories in the book.

And God has likewise handed them over to their own wickedness because they have rejected Him.

The internet is normalizing evil. Their souls are being corrupted by the evil they consoom.

Social media in particular. Its a weaponized form of peer pressure that doesnt even need an actual majority to create the illusion of consensus. Its how the US went from openly mocking and shunning fags to fags becoming normalized and then protected in under a decade. (Of course, the ground work for the fag issue was already laid by decades of normalization propaganda by television, but television couldnt create the illusion of human interaction and essentially turn every single space into an echo chamber like social media is capable of).

It sure looks that way.

Yes because subjective morality could never be useful for building a society. There needs to be at least a consensus of law for there to be order and the acceptance of absolute / objective morality is the only way.

I just saw a China woman biting a living cat on twitter.
 
China people draw energy from the pain of others, they are soulless. This is absolutely morally wrong.
