Moral messes

There are those who read superficially, who have concluded that it is uncool to take a moral position on something. Perhaps they're okay about taking one in the abstract, regarding a situation or country as far away from them as possible. Thus they don their Che T-shirts and believe themselves to radiate a leftist cool. Their moral position will come off at the end of the day, and hopefully go for a spin in the wash.

There are the even more hilarious types -- unwittingly funny, these, who consider that Nietzsche was somehow against morality. To the contrary -- he presumed that we would not degenerate to being like apes, but would experience attacks on our pride as the very basis for establishing a more substantial and firmer basis for morality than Christianity had furnished up until that point.

There are those of the identity politics mindset who think that group-think (so long as it remains within the group) provides the only way for thinking about moral issues.

There are those who believe implicitly in the efficacy of sadomasochistic emotional dynamics at work within society. They think that morality is an illusion of the masochists and the means by which sadists find a way to give a duplicitous justification for their grab for power. Such a faith causes the lowbrow political animal to lean to heavily on his crutch -- it will soon give way, with him or her toppling after afterwards, with a sigh. The spirit of humanity will not stay bowed beneath the frown of the sadist (and his limited view of the world) forever.

Lameness is ultimately one of the least impressive of humanity's developed traits.
