"Morality" is about immorality, about justifying punishment/persecution, about drawing lines that someone is on the wrong side of.
Ethics is (nominally) universal; morality is about identity and therefore about exclusion. Morality is a weapon: that is why the people who like it like it.
- bigbadfeline 1y ago"Morality" is about immorality... Ethics is (nominally) universal; Ethics is moral philosophy. Most of the time these terms are used interchangeably but your description of the accepted difference is inaccurate and inflammatory. Ethics is the moral standard accepted at community level, not quite universal. Morality is the projection (or rejection) of parts of ethics on individual level. In itself, morality is not a weapon and it's not about exclusion, at least no more than ethics can be. > Morality is a weapon: that is why the people who like it like it. Ironically, you are trying to blame moral people for being immoral because they like the "weapon" called morality... You speak from the view point of your morality that rejects morality and it gets funny.
