SCB@lemmy.world 10 months agoYes. You cannot legislate morality, or you simply force anyone who doesn’t share your morality to be a criminal.
There’s a reason our legal system is based around standing and provable harm.
Imagine if we made “being conservative” illegal. People would riot, and quite justifiably.

Objective morality is a thing, and most legal systems follow it.
SCB@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It most assuredly is not, and just going by “number of countries with fucked up laws” most legal systems are dumb as hell

Again, I didn’t say all countries follow objective morality (Basically countries that violate human rights, which is basically the closest thing to a codified objective morality we have)
