      That’s only because the ruling emperors of moral absolutism are so fuckdamn lound and persistent.

      It creates the illusion that there are so many more of them than there actually are.

      Do you remember the Westboro Baptist Church from a few years back? Constantly all over the media shouting their bigoted hate?

      Yeah, it was a group of less than 100 people doing it mainly as a source of income.

      But they managed to get themselves in front of every camera for like 5 years in a row. Turns out they didn’t even really believe their hatespeech and just found that suing people who tried to interfere with their horrid protests was super profitable.

      It is interesting.

      I think it’s because the people who don’t have anything except moral absolutism are noticing that their group is dwindling, so they’re getting louder because they are afraid.
