Subjectivism as the Enslavement of the Masses
Moral restraint is either internal or external. The internal is provided by one's worldview. What this means is that if a worldview that leads to subjectivism in moral restraint is believed by an individual or the masses, only the external restraints remain. This is why, in our society where pluralism is promoted via the means of subjectivism, laws must increase. Force is the only way to restrain the masses, and therefore, laws must be made for even moral conduct eventually. Otherwise, the logical conclusion of the worldview espoused is that the subjective preferences are infringed upon by others who do not provide the same boundaries to the "other" that the other has set for themselves. Hence, power is to be sought above all things, as whoever has the power is god, and whoever is god gets to impose his subjective morality on the masses by force. This is the only avenue left for a culture that has fully embraced any worldview that does lend itself to an internal moral restraint.
