   So my brain doesn't work like yours -- you may have   
   noticed -- but I don't think you or most people   
   (nearly all) have the faintest clue what is or is   
   not "Moral."   
      
   I, for instance, usually try to judge people, their   
   "Morality," on 1)  How consistent they are and 2) how   
   rational they are.   
      
   It's easier to determine, from YOUR perspective, and   
   when I say "Your" I mean "My" perspective, when   
   someone is behaving rational, as opposed to consistent.   
      
   Judging "Consistency" requires some background, history,   
   which very often isn't there, particularly for people you   
   are not acquainted with in YOUR real life.   
      
   Okay, so bear with me...   
      
   IF someone is inconsistent, it's not morality. They   
   are NOT following some moral compass. They're just   
   rationalizing. They're framing their knee jerk as a   
   moral point, rather than beginning with a moral point   
   & working out a position from there.   
      
   AND, if someone isn't rational?  Same thing.   
      
   Keep in mind irrational people, unlike inconsistent   
   people, may actually begin with a sense of morality.   
      
   A reasonable person can reasonably find fault in Israel,   
   in the Arab/Israeli conflict. But that's it. The   
   morality goes no further.... "I found something I   
   believe is wrong in your position, so I refuse to so   
   much as consider anything else, AND I hysterically   
   demand an unworkable solution out of MALICE towards   
   the party I decided is tha offender."   
      
   It's a pseudo "Morality," the irrational people.   
      
   In the case of the Arab/Israeli conflict, for example,   
   where a reasonable person can find reasonable cause to   
   declare "Wrong" on the Israeli side, they're okay with   
   terrorism. They're okay with murder, including the murder   
   of babies. They're okay with rape -- both of woman and   
   boys. They're okay with fascism, Hamas being a brutal   
   fascist government. These are supposedly "Moral" people   
   acting on their "Moral" compass, yet they embrace all   
   manner of evil. And their solution?  Total, unconditional   
   victory for the terrorists!   
      
   NO concern for what happens to any of the people, NO   
   thought invested on what happens next... all as absent   
   as the disdain for terrorism, kidnapping, rape, torture   
   and fascism.   
      
   So, yes, I honestly do search for OBJECTIVE measures in   
   attempting to evaluate "Morality."   
      
   Btw, if you were wondering; LeftTards flunk this test.   
      
   The anti ICE hysteria flunks this morality test.   
      
   Just ask Charlie Kirk!
