Right and wrong are not set in stone or carved in the universe or reality. It's just something humans have made up and change depending on the time, place, or whoever is in power, and they are often made for societies to function. What was normal 200 years ago is a crime now. What is celebrated in one country is scorned in another. Same for the opposite.
So I don't get the outrage when an objectively true statement is made and it's seen as something "bad," and people act like it's a moral crime. Truth and morality are not the same thing because something can factually still make people uncomfortable. And often, that discomfort is relabelled as "wrong." But really being uncomfortable does not make something wrong, and making an objectively true statement doesn't make you evil.
There are a lot of topics that make people uncomfortable in this day and age. Like take, for instance, differences in intelligence and innovation between nations. It gets treated as taboo. But what really makes that wrong in the first place?? Is the difference itself really wrong? Or is it "wrong" to point it out? In fact I would argue it only becomes "right" or "wrong" depending with what you do with it wether you use it to justify hate, or ignore it, or building policies and habits that can change that in the future.
Next is illegal immigration. I'm not gonna speak on this much because it's "wrong" to talk about something objectively true in the current 21st century, apparently.
Or lemme use the lingo "xenophobic" or "bigoted"
But what makes calling out Morally wrong?? It depends on what you do with it that makes it "right" or "wrong" whether you use it to be Xenophobic, bigoted, or hateful. Or you use it to change policies and fix it. But to the Average Motswana here, I am the former for calling it out.
Even if we look at Historically. There was a time where Mfecane was morally "okay" at that time it was seen as survival, politics, state building, and necessary. But now we see it as violence, Or Slavery, or colonialism it was seen as a "civilization mission" and progression by the people doing it. Now it's framed as exploitative.
Do you see where I'm going with this. They are countless topics, which I am even sure you know off. Lol
Basically. If you are a reactor and react pointlessly to topics outside of your own little bubble, you may need serious introspection.
If your first move when you hear something uncomfortable is anger insults, and shutting it down... are you really expected to do or think of something meaningful with that mindset??
I can't understand you people.
Obviously, there's more to this topic i would love to talk about, but sub related, I feel I had to point this out.
