And I’m being serious. I feel like there might be an argument there, I just don’t understand it. Can someone please “steelman” that argument for me?

    Morals and ethics are subjective and based on emotions. That’s why science doesn’t say what’s good or bad. I don’t think you can prove or disprove this argument. People who are strongly focused on Gaza simply reject views that challenge their own.

      Morality is not subjective. It is not (or at least should not) be based on emotions.

      Personally I don’t see morals as entirely subjective.

      I’d say that ‘worst possible misery for everyone’ is objectively bad and any attempt to move away from that is better.
