Beiber is objectively good..though I can't tell you that I (subjectively) like a single one of his songs. What's the problem?
Let’s give a summation of the “objectivism” of your views on morality.
What’s objective is only in relation to the “is” of a moral statement, in relationship to descriptive elements such as the harm caused by the holocaust. The reason you claim morality is objective, is because these descriptive elements can be objectively measured, such as the social impact of theft, or murdering children, etc.., just like cheesiness and thinness in my pizza example.
When it comes to “oughts”, the we ought not do what’s harmful, this isn’t grounded in reality, there’s no transcendent moral order that anchors it, reality posses no teleological or moral aims. It’s the mere relative or subjective agreed upon goals of groups of people, and society.
