From your question, I can infer that you - even if only for the sake of argument - are taking the position that it is subjective? In which case, feel free to do so - but don’t be surprised if not everyone picks the same definition.
There is definitely room for nuance, but I tried to pick an example that was fairly clear & unambiguous according to most people’s understanding of that term.
I was asking what you meant by it. How did you define the terms bad, Nazi, and murder?
Yes I think morality is subjective, but as I explained in my last comment, my subjective morality would mostly agree with your statement in the way I interpreted it, with some nuance. But I only know how I should interpret your statement if you define your terms more clearly.
I assure you that could look up the definitions of those words, if you were so inclined. Also, your comment was somehow a lot shorter when I replied, compared to now (e.g. why would I claim to have inferred that your position was subjective, if you came right out and said it, which at least now it looks as if you did?). I can’t keep up with you if you are going to edit the past like that.
For the sake of future conversations, you might consider (1) waiting to reply until you have written out all that you want to say, (2) keeping your edits to a minimum, for clarity’s sake, and (3) if you must edit - which we all do, all the time - then at least clearly denote which things are edits, so as to distinguish them from the original text. Edit: this is not an actual edit, but this would be one way that I could use to denote that I am adding a sentence to an existing paragraph, rather than leave people to see that something is different but then have to guess what it might be.
Otherwise… pure chaos ensues. e.g. I could say “you are a poopy-face”, you then you reply “no I am not, but you are”, and then I edit my first to say “wow, you are so smart!”… (haha, checkmate!) do you see how this leads to disingenuous exchanges, rather than logical, rational, reasoned discourse, among people trying to talk in good faith?
Anyway, yes Nazis were (and are still) bad, imho, but feel free to do you I guess - so long as you aren’t forcing me to do the same. But let’s end it here, b/c you have so far not managed to explain how any of this at all relates to the OP, and I am already too put off by this style. Hopefully we can enjoy better exchanges in the future:-).
