Your statement amounts to a tautology: “whatever happens is what happens” And by the way, that’s not even the whole story. The civil rights movement succeeded without force or violence for the most part. So your whole framework is pretty flimsy I think.

How else is morality enforced? Other than by force? > It determines what happens. What happens? Like deciding what is moral or not? > Your statement amounts to a tautology: “whatever happens is what happens” No it doesn't.
