RE: An Amusing Comparison Between Understanding Reality And Mind-Controlled Perception In A Typical Life Situation - Part 2

who is saying what is moral?

The politicians of course. They are the most holy. ;)

does an anarchist believe in such a generalised concept as 'morality'? who is saying what is moral?

I believe personally to know what is immoral. I'm not gonna tell someone how to live a moral live in relationships with me, but I will tell the what I find Immoral if they would do that to me ...themselves or let it do by anyone else. They don't have to do specific things for me but they may not do specific things to me, like stealing, raping, punch me in the face, shoot me etc. Because I believe.....believe it or not....that if someone initiates violence against me without me having done anything, that I have the right to defend myself. And not only a right in the sense of "human right" or "law" but I will naturally defend myself (that can be by fight or flight) nothing special.

Oh........and no one can force me to do something that I see as immoral, like stealing raping, punching murdering.

This is the best personal answer I can think of right now. I could say the NAP (Non aggression principle)
But that would have been to short i.m.o. so I wrote you this.

Edit:
The non aggression priciple however is worth looking in too if you're not familiar with that already. this I found to be a very clear explanation.

Thanks for taking time to reply to me. I think i understand that we can know what is immoral without necessarily preaching what is moral. I agree with that definitely.

Thanks @wordsword. Yes, the NAP is absolutely essential to understanding morality and how it effects our daily lives. Thanks for that input.
