Minimal moral realism contends, as all realist systems contend, that moral facts are objective facts, not subjective facts.
I'm not really concerned with whether or not something seems silly to you. You can agree or disagree with moral realism, of any kind. I think that you should understand what you're agreeing or disagreeing with. Your statement above, for example, that a given desire is bad because it leads to harm - is a realist statement. That's not coherent with desire as moral grounding.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
