No, I’m saying post structuralism creates an environment that doesn’t value objective truth enough for being a proven and malicious serial liar to sink a presidency.
You don’t need objective truth to hate Trump. You can just subjectively believe rape is wrong. Are you saying you don’t have a subjective opinion against rape?
I think all rape is bad, due to my utilitarianism, and my conviction that rape is a deeply violating act which causes suffering that cannot be made up for
Those aren’t the same things, I’m an actual anarchist, great mind, and there’s a difference between objectivism and the word objectively much less the concept of objective morality as a whole, but sure.
Some things are just evil.
Speaking of evil, want to comment on what kind of genocide you find acceptable to “reduce total suffering” in the world?
Or how many rapes you’d accept to reduce the murder rate by x, since you’re only against rape because of “utilitarianism.”
Because that’s what utilitarianism actually means, despite your posing. You inherently view morality as subjective and accept that the end result can justify the means, so you will excuse rape when you personally think it’s “worth the cost.”
If you disagree with that, guess what, dipshit? You believe in at least one form of objective morality.
I simply don’t have the stomach for rape or genocide. My reason tells me these things might in some future be be necessary, if there were a contrived situation in which a madman asked me to rape someone or he’ll nuke the world. But my “ick factor” disagrees, and would not permit me to act as I reason. Fortunately, I cannot see the likelihood of such a situation in my lifetime. I have a reasonable certainty of upholding my principles if I always condemn those who rape or genocide. Well, as long as I don’t get it into my head that CNC is rape.
I do not understand why you are so opposed to humility. I don’t know everything. I have access to no fundamental great truth of the world. I recognise my feelings on right and wrong to be just that - feelings. You find the smallness of my ego offensive. This doesn’t make any sense to me.

No, it’s objectively bad.
Tell me more about the rape you find acceptable.
You’re a moral objectivist, too? Shall I start calling you Ms Rand?
Answer the question.

Now, explain your ancap objectivist viewpoint.
