1107 Comparing Morality

Politics is, in essence, others imposing their morality onto you. Liberty, personal autonomy, making decisions for yourself, was supposed to protect us from that exact thing but as more-and-more people actually want to be told what to do, democracy has eroded the liberty paradigm until now publicly-imposed morals are becoming the norm instead. This leads to the question that always haunts collectivism: whose morals? And how do they compare to mine? Is life part of morality? I’m willing to kill to protect my liberty: is that moral? How about truth? Respect? The Ten Commandments? Violence? Masculinity? If someone claims something to be “moral” but another person disagrees, that’s subjective, which is why morals have to come from the ultimate authority: God. This is essentially why morals are limited to religion. The current diversity & inclusion morals are religious, but if they don’t come from God, that leaves only government institutions. Syllogism suggests there is no longer a distinction between Church & State: if morals come from God but morals are coming from the state then that means the state is God.
