It doesn't matter what lens you're viewing it through, because personal point of view is subjective. There is a fair morality and an unfair morality, which does exist albeit subjective in how it's viewed by human beings. This argument sounds more like a programming tool to dismiss atrocities of leaders like Putin.
Oh and morality is subjective, not objective. What you or we consider immoral today might have been considered moral throughout history and even today in other cultures. But that is a different issue.
For example, the reason you call it subjective morality is because that's the way you see it. Let me give you an analogy. If I believed that putting leeches on someone or grinding spices with a rino horn and then putting it on your food cured cancer, I'd be wrong. I'd be viewing what I believe to be the correct medical practice through a misguided lens. The same can apply to morality, there is a right and wrong way of viewing morality, but like science and any tool of understanding, our morality is only as good as our ability to measure. Objective truth exists, albeit outside of our knowledge, or what we can obviously witness to be immoral; aka the horrific persecution of homosexuals or assassinating political rivals.
