I'm feeling a bit tired, so I hope someone can correct me if I'm completely off base. I don't think I care much about morals, at least not in the way the term is commonly used today. For instance, isn't Neoliberal democracy often considered the greatest and most moral system ever created? If that's the case, and I consider myself in opposition to neoliberal hegemony, does that mean I'm not a 'good' person? Does it make me a bad guy, an enemy of freedom, or an evil left-wing extremist simply because I advocate for housing the homeless and feeding the hungry?
I'm not saying I choose to be a 'bad guy,' but I'm aware that according to common sentiment, I may be portrayed that way. That's why, outside of a philosophical discussion, I honestly don't care much about traditional notions of morality.
Just using the word 'morals' might be oversimplifying things, I guess? Like I agree using the word "morals" can be quite reductionist when discussing complex political and ethical ideologies. It's a broad term that often oversimplifies the nuanced perspectives people hold.
Then again im a baby when it comes to this stuff so keep that in mind
Ok im gonna be 100 with you Im not even sure I understand what moral relativism really means. I just stated that I dont care "much" for the concept of morals because I feel its often used to deny minorities the right of self defense because when black people fight back and its not a toothless protest its amoral. Im not a man of learning but Im open to learn... so feel free to enlighten me if you have anything else to say.
