No I do totally understand. For you everything is relative, and everyone is equally innocent and guilty of all things at all times. That’s why it’s moral relativism.

Non relativism holds that certain acts are irredeemable, and that being nice to your kids wild murdering millions does not qualify you as ‘somewhat good’, anymore than getting a parking ticket makes a non-murdered ‘somewhat bad’.

It’s not a personal attack, it’s an observation that people who morally relativistic views tend to do some out of their own self interest in the world. Just like psychopaths and sociopaths tend to be amoral. I don’t know any ‘good’ people who believe in moral relativism… they rightfully avoid people who have shown themselves to be bad actors.

There are tons of people who cartoonishly evil, do you even read the news? Half of our political class are cartoonishly evil people.

We clearly live in totally different realities. You seem to like as long as Pol Pot was a nice guy to you, than you can’t condemn him. lol
