yeah I agree, morality is subjective bcos it exists in individual minds. the fact tht many people share similar moral judgements can make it seem objective, but widespread agreement isn’t the same as objectivity. being subjective doesn’t make morality meaningless or unstable it just means its source is in human judgment rather than an external fact.
some get it wrong and some get it right but everyone is operating subjectively so that’s not the problem here. It’s just how the our minds operates by default.

Agree! Following moral rules by the exact word (and not by the meaning) allows you to exploit loopholes of your rule set without burden on your heart.
I’ve found that a descent number of those who espouse objective morality seem to do so as a mask to try and hide their complete lack of morality, assuming they understand the concept of morality at all.
The real mental gymnastics are from those that try to somehow justify how ‘objective morality’ can even be possible and what if anything can dictate it. Moral relativism is just the acceptance that morality is subjective and so trying to impose some kind of objectivity is a fools errant.

Ahem my morality is objective. Let me first list its axioms:
1. This morale is the only correct way of thinking.
2. This morale defines itself to be self-consistent, and capable of determining a definite answer to every moral and philosophical question that can be expressed withing natural language.
3. Every other incompatible morale is not only uneducated, but wrong and bad.
Now the formal proof is as follows:
Axiom 1. is clearly true because of axiom 2.
Axiom 2. is also clearly true because of the axiom 2.
Proof of the axiom 3. is left as an exercise to the reader.

So is mine. I guess we must share the same morality, right?
