Are there any universal morals? As in, morals that were followed by every single society?
>>
>>18447850
every single society? probably. every single individual? absolutely not.
>>
>>18447850
The most basic of crimes like murder and theft seem to be universally taboo.
>>
>>18447856
>murder
There were several genocidal states
>theft
Yes, this is possibly the closest to a universal value.
The closest a society got to tolerating theft were those early 2020s pro-shoplifting measures in stores across America after the George Floyd mass hysteria

>There were several genocidal states
In what states was it morally acceptable to go out on the street and execute your neighbors without any justification?
>>
>>18447850
Yes but only on a general level.
Murder, rape and theft are universally hated, but with the caveat that societies wildly vary on what exactly counts as "murder" "rape" or "theft" and why exactly they're bad.
Children are universally valued and protected, but again, societies wildly disagree on how they should be treated.
Piety, reverence for one's elders and ancestors, and loyalty to one's family WERE universally considered important until marxists decided those things were "irrational".
>>18447867
Murder is unjust killing. Those who commit genocides don't think their killing is unjust. Every society agrees that killing is sometimes justified. Even states that ban the death penalty allow killing in self-defense.
>>
>>18447850
It all stems from selfishness

Don't kill a guy for no reason because he might be of use to us
Don't steal my shit

I would like to add to the list but these seem pretty deeply entrenched (by the living God) in humanity

Somewhere near Tian Shan Mountains, you have to kidnap a chick to marry her
Probably stems from Mongolian influence
Rape is cool with some cultures, oddly

>Rape is cool with some cultures, oddly
Try raping another man's wife in one of these cultures, he and his bros will show you just how cool they think you are
>>
>>18447902
Rape in these societies isn't considered bad because of consent but because it's seen as damage of another man's property
>>
>>18447902
I didn't say another man's wife
I said another chick, as in unmarried

You have to kidnap a chick somewhere near the Tian Shan Mountains in order to make her your wife

I didn't make the rules
I just know them
>>
>>18447908
In other words it's not considered morally OK?
>>18447909
What you're describing is your outsider's understanding of some weird marriage ritual they have, you're not actually describing rape as we understand it. Even in many western societies it was not possible to 'rape' your wife, but that sure as fuck doesn't mean you can pin a complete stranger down in broad daylight and fuck them without their consent.

>>18447850
the jews destoryed them
>>
>>18447850
Contribute to your society or at least don't be a detriment.
>>
>>18447908
Why do retards like you think that men in history had absolutely zero empathy??

I swear you are worse than feminists.
>>
>>18447856
>>18447867
>theft
Debunked by gypsies.
>>
>>18448007
I'm pretty sure they don't steal from each other.
>>
>>18448007
They steal from others, not their in-group. That's like saying killing and rape is accepted because soldiers do it to enemies in war. There are no societies where you are morally permitted to arbitrarily kill, rape or steal from your neighbor that's also part of your in-group.
