@Hossenfeffer but when it comes down to it I think really we've ceded our understanding of morality to "the market" anyway. It's bad when politicians say to do it but if "the people" follow (or if, for example, we regulate schools so they *have* to follow) and that's the only way to make it sell then it's ok. Majority rules, I guess. But my personal feeling is that when it comes to pure morality it's about where the power lies. And often that's the power of controlling the narrative.
I mean, I don't disagree with anything you say, but that's because I have a progressive mindset. Which kind of was the point.
