>And this an undesirable position to occupy, both philosophically and personally
That doesn't make it wrong. If you were raised in a genocidal, racist culture you would have no problem with those things.

>Moral relativism is a relatively new concept. Morality was understood to be objective for thousands of years of human history.
This somehow makes it correct?

>Why is moral relativism true?
Because there is nothing objective in morality. It is simply preference internalised from one's culture.

>Why is that inconceivable?
Because you stated that he was poor. How will he purchase the world's oil supply if he is poor?

>'Success' is a terrible guideline.
Why?
>Social mobility shouldn't be necessary. People should be born into conditions in which they can thrive.
Why? You have to explain yourself.

>Because some things are wrong
No doubt. 1+1=4 is wrong. But making statements about what action is 'right' cannot be intrinsically right in a meaningless universe.

Well, I have this.

Well, morality is subjective so an appeal to the suffering of animals as 'bad' or 'wrong' is not a sufficent argument.
