I don't see the problem. One can have unshakeable moral values they believe everyone should have while acknowledging those values may be a product of their upbringing and others' lack of them the same.

What about the last part: "viewing disagreement as moral monstrosity?"

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I believe abortion is moral. I believe people who disagree are morally monstrous. I can also understand that their beliefs on whether abortion is moral or not can be a product of their culture and upbringing. What am I missing? Why is this odd?

When you say "abortion is moral," do you mean that it is never immoral? As in, you literally can't think of a situation where it would be wrong for a woman to get an abortion?

It's the kind of thing professors say when they want to go viral on some fascist platform.
