Many leftists appear to believe they are more "moral" than other people

None of us are moral! We're all sinners in need of salvation from the cross!
I believe that this attitude is symptomatic of the tendency of many on the left to see those on the other side of the political debate as inherently bad people, even sometimes as less than human.

Crucifixion is not salvation.
You might try Jesus Christ, though.

So you have no reason to make such a random statement. Okay.

Not a nickel's worth of difference here:

Now, a more reasoned view would be:
That is, you can't have morals unless you are dealing with facts.

Societal morality is a social construct.
Here's why:
- Cultural Variation: Different societies have different moral standards. What is considered moral in one culture might be seen as immoral in another. For example, attitudes toward marriage, family obligations, or even basic human rights can vary widely across cultures.
- Historical Changes: Morality evolves over time within the same society. Practices that were once morally acceptable, like slavery or denying women the right to vote, have become morally reprehensible in many parts of the world. This shift is often driven by changes in social, political, and economic structures.
- Social Agreement: Morality often depends on a consensus among members of a society. Laws, norms, and values are shaped by collective agreement, though this agreement might be influenced by dominant groups or power structures within society.
- Philosophical Perspectives: Philosophers like Emile Durkheim argued that morality is societal in nature, emerging from social facts rather than individual or divine dictates. On the other hand, some argue for universal moral truths, suggesting that while the expression might be influenced by culture, certain moral principles (like the prohibition against murder) are inherent or natural.
- Constructivism in Ethics: Ethical constructivism posits that moral truths are not discovered but constructed through human activity, negotiation, and consensus.
However, this does not mean morality is arbitrary or lacks importance. Even if it's constructed, the impact of moral systems on individual lives and societal well-being is profound.
Also, while morality might be a social construct, individuals often internalize these norms to such an extent that they feel intrinsic or natural to them.
