What I wonder is how a solipsist can believe in objective morality if they don't even believe in objective reality.
Kinda hard to take ya seriously since you said existence itself is a mental concept and solipsism is the only rational position ain't it? What do you even mean be "objective morality" as a solipsist? What do you even mean by "objective" anything at all, if you find no reason to believe in anything outside of mental concepts?
You don't see the logical fail with "moral enforcement by the law" being defined as "objective morality"? You don't see how logically inconsistent that is considering there are moral acts you can go to prison for and immoral acts could in theory become legal?
No wonder you're comfortable justifying anything and reconciling anything with anything if you think it's all in the mind.
