I figured which is why I asked those difficult questions. I dosagree woth you, subjective morality means no morality at all or worse a misplacement of what we consider to be good deeds and evil deeds.
From the theifs subjevtive moral viewpoint, shoplifting was good. From the customer's viewpoint, the shopkeeper raising his prices is evil. A third party reads the story and says the shopkeeper is evil bc he sells and eats meats. A fourth person enters and thinks no evil deeds were done then he shoot everyone.
With objective morality, the evil deed was the theft regardless of what the shoplifter or anyone thinks of it and regardless of any consequences or lack thereof. Without an objective morality, we cannot have laws.
Subjective morality = total chaos (What is normal to the spider is chaos to the fly)
Objective morality = order (collective effort against actions that cause the mist undesirable consequences)
I am not arguing against the concept of Laws or Principles, however I still do not believe they represent an objective morality.
Laws can be twisted, as they have been in Our time. If its deemed unlawful, should we cease "misgendering" or meat consmption? I don't believe you believe that either.
Each Nation lives and dies by its own Principles, but whether they are objectively good or evil is still subjective. To the "chosen", Our existence is amoral, a Consequence I am perfectly content with!
