Those who aligned with moral objectivity or objective moral reality are driven by the following mission and vision for humanity, either explicit [planning with reasoning] or implicitly, consciously or unconsciously [intuitively];
- 1. What can we know - epistemology, science, objective knowledge etc.
2. What can we do [morally and whatever positive]
3. What can we hope for - perpetual peace
The most effective way to strive 3 [perpetual peace] is to rely on objective knowledge and objective moral principles and standard as a guide with a moral Framework and System [FS].
Within the moral FS there is the installing fixed goal posts or lighthouses to guide moral progress via potential pitfalls.
Therefore moral objectivity is inherent critical for moral progress within humanity.
If one failed to plan [with objectivity] one is planning to fail, i.e. planning for moral progress in this case.
Moral Relativists - to each their own and moral skeptics do not rely on any fixed standards to guide moral progress. They do not have a moral compass at all to guide them towards moral progress.
Moral relativists [by default] will have to tolerate 'the torture and killing of babies' genocides, all sort of evil, where certain cultures and groups claim such acts are moral.
Moral Skeptics [with moral deficit] do not have any say at all on moral issues and progress.
Note what is going at present with the protest in support of Hamas even Hamas had committed one of the most atrocious evil, genocide, mass rapes, all sort of evil acts.
This is moral relativism as work, i.e. without a moral compass at all.
It is true the IDF committed evil acts which are "acceptable" [unfortunately] within a justified act of war; point is all wars [even justified and legal] must be prevented in the future.
The fact is the IDF is committing a lesser evil to get rid of the potential mother-of-al- evil by Hamas motivated by the "religion of peace".
Hamas and its allies has been raining missiles into Israel, i.e. their intention is to kill all Jews as commanded by their religion, and everyone in Israel.
If not for the Iron Dome, this terrible evil of millions-killed would be a reality, in contrast to the 'in-000s' killed by the IDF due to Hamas [immorally] using civilians as human shield.
Being a moral relativist or moral skeptic is being evil, i.e. being indifferent and complicit to evil and evil acts committed by evil agents.
