I've had multiple people try to explain to me why morals are necessary for society, as if I'm arguing against them. I'm not even advocating for shoplifting (though perhaps I could have phrased it better), but I think a lot of people may have intentionally misread my overall point. We are in agreement that a common sense of morality is necessary for the proper functioning of society. My issue is precisely that powerful people in our society often do not share our sense of morality, they do not live by it, and they are not adequately punished for it. They use our system of ethics against us, and that is what I find frustrating.
