No. And it is irrelevant regardless. What you refer to is consensus morality, not objective morality.

The latter remains an incoherent, undefined term.

Agreed there are arguments for objective morality but appealing to human universal feelings won't do it . As for the assertion of said universal it's never existed I fear human barbarity (often propagated by religion of justified under it because when god commands it can't be wrong ) seems boundless (as well as the contrary)
