If it’s moral fact that stealing your wallet is wrong, but this fact is not saying that I ought not steal your wallet, then it’s not really a moral fact, it may be a fact about the unpleasantness on having your wallet taken, but it’s not a moral fact, if it’s not implying what I ought not do. Calling it a moral fact is just semantic trickery.Because that's what they are? Why call Total Drama Island Total Drama Island if it doesn't compel me to watch? Because that's what it is. Moral facts and moral compulsion are distinct subjects, Acro, lol.
You're under no obligation to watch total drama island.
In platonic moral realism moral facts and moral obligations are not distinct subjects.
In fact in order to be moral anything, the obligation, the ought has to be a part of it.
Holocaust is morally wrong. I'm assuming you accept this as a moral fact?
Now explain why this is morally wrong, without reference to obligations, or oughts.
Is it just a description of the negative societal impact of the holocaust? Or something akin to such explanations?
