While I agree with you in this case we do have to acknowledge that such a statement can only be made from a position of moral superiority. That’s an uncomfortable position to take in the general case.
- coolestguy 4y ago>moral superiority I don't feel bad about objective moral superiority. Just beacuse the caste system is ingraind in Indian culture doesn't mean it should be respected or allowed.
- mulmen 4y agoThere’s no such thing as objective moral superiority. Morality is subjective.
- coolestguy 4y agoIncorrect. Your sentence is what a typical fence sitter would say, where they think you can go through life not offending bad people and thinking that makes you tolerant.
- mulmen 4y agoI’m not fence sitting. I am committed to spending lives to achieve my preferred geopolitical goals.
- Manuel_D 4y agoI'm totally comfortable in asserting the moral superiority of emancipation, both of slavery and caste.
- mulmen 4y agoYep. So am I. But we have to acknowledge that requires enforcing our morality on other cultures. And the consequence of that is that we believe our morality is superior.
