How can we advocate for distributive justice in a pluralistic society? We can't impose our values on people who hate the poor and take away their right to exploit the poor for financial gain in a pluralistic society? We can't support government welfare, in a pluralistic society, when there are others who seek the truth without coercion. Pluralistic society. Pluralistic society.
If these people really believed in a pluralistic society, they would have enough room for traditionally minded people who believe in God, Country, family and an ascetic morality.
They aren't pluralists in practice. They are narrow-minded dogmatists who are guided above all by hedonism, narcissism, self-absorption
and self-destruction. Anyone who gets in their selfishness is the problem. The irony is, although they deny it, they believe everyone has to think the way they do.
But that's part of human nature. It's a matter of having enough humility to look at your own problems before pointing the finger at others. They are moral absolutists whether they want to admit it or not, just not the kind of absolutes that are in civilization's best interest.
The barbarians would be proud.
