Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

It's clear we very much disagree whether morality is derived from or aligned with the judgment of the public. But surely you can understand that such disagreement exists, and that your perspective on this isn't held by everyone? If someone talks about virtue, you can't assume they are talking about the will of the majority, and you can't infer that a statement is contradictory based on the assumption that the 'virtue' refers to the will of the majority, because that's just your opinion and probably not what they mean. I bet your opinion on this isn't even shared by most people.
