Then why care if people are being hypocritical? Why should it bother you that people adopt whatever beliefs are beneficial at the moment and then change them when it suits them? Isn't that the smartest attitude to have? How could you even call someone else "morally repugnant"?
I mean having beliefs that are beneficial at the moment and then changing it whenever it suits you is a great short term option if you want to have moral beliefs, sure, but it's not great in the long term, societally or personally. So I wouldn't really call it the smartest attitude to have. I also don't think that not having morals would necessarily prevent me from caring if people are hypocritical, or thinking that other people are morally repugnant. I'm just thinking that they're morally repugnant by some external set of morals which aren't my own, obviously, some morals which I haven't internalized, and which aren't mine, probably.
Anyways, I gotta get back to shitposting online, and eating babies, or whatever it is that people with no morals do.
Think you have it in you to write at least one paragraph where you don't contradict yourself? You say you care, but have no internalized morals? Which is it?
Yes, having no morals would prevent you from caring if people are hypocritical -- this is what is known as a moral stance. Without morals, there is nothing wrong with hypocrisy.
Sorry to keep you from your preferred activities, I just think you should really think this through before you mention it to anyone again.
