Weaponizing Moral Relativism
Have you noticed that in the last few years, the term moral relativism has disappeared from the public lexicon? There are those who believe that it has been banished, but they are wrong. In fact, the application of moral relativism has gone underground and its advocates are working tirelessly to meet their agenda, as well as using it to recruit new adherents to their cause.
For those who may have forgotten, moral relativism has a long history. Here’s a working definition:
Moral relativism is the idea that there is no universal or absolute set of moral principles. It’s a version of morality that advocates ‘to each her own,’ and those who follow it say, ‘Who am I to judge?’
We already know how horribly the Left has behaved; their actions have become increasingly abhorrent over time. Their immorality is laid out for everyone to see. Their hypocrisy on the values they supposedly espouse—tolerance, fairness, non-judgment, support of women, justice—can no longer be ignored by the Right or denied by the Left (although I’m sure they will try).
