What is good or bad?
Whats bad on one side is good on the other. Both sides are good with the other side bad, from their point of view. With no objective good or bad, neither is, and morality means nothing so you can do anything with a clear conscience.
However, moral conviction has no bearing on objective correctness.
Edit: If it did, any voluntarily suicide bomber would be objectively correct.
I’d address the other point but It doesn’t sound like you’re open to viewpoints that are not your own.( and don’t seem to understand what objective truth actually entails )
Edit Edit:
“Cowardly Downvotes Are Bad” is another example of something that is subjective.
I believe it to be true, but that belief doesn’t change the the fact that that statement isn’t objectively correct. ( as in, provably true for everyone regardless of their perspectives or beliefs )
Sorry but that’s irrelevant. Who personally views themselves as good and bad isn’t relevant to how I apply your logic from my perspective.
The danger comes in thinking that everything you do is good simply because you do it.
You shouldn’t hurt people if you don’t have to but that’s not the same as saying that violence should be avoided at all costs and that it’s never useful, or even ultimately the lesser evil.
I have a problem with these absolutists the tried to suggest that the situation should never be taken into account and that violence is always bad. It’s intellectually dishonest and it’s naive.

Where do pedophilia and rape fall in your intellectually lazy, moral relativism argument? What about freeing enslaved people?
Saying there is no objective good or bad only shows your lack of moral convictions.
The argument they were making is poor.

Are you going to apply this logic to the activities which took place on Epstein Island?
