because "good" is a subjective word that statement is subjective
"is" is a factual word; it is Monday because of the generally evident agreement that this day is a "Monday".- MarioManiac4

no the statement "charity is good" is subjective because "good" is subjective but whatever.In post 12, Psyche wrote:

There is no universally agreed upon definition of "good." "good" is basically something we approve of in our flawed opinions. No person's "good" is better than anothers.- MarioManiac4

In society, the word "good" does indeed turn towards meaning what the majority thinks is true. Therefore, this would be the accepted meaning of "good", yes.In post 16, Accountant wrote:
So "good" depends on what humans agree on, rather than an external objective truth(let us set aside the question of what that truth is for now)?In post 15, MarioManiac4 wrote:There is no universally agreed upon definition of "good."
In a world where it was universally agreed on that sexism is good, is sexism suddenly good?
Personally, I believe that good things have no, or very sparce, physical and mental pain and prevent physical and mental pain. My votes in society reflect this. Everyone else's vote reflects their opinion. Generally democracy is the best current way to limit "physical" and "mental" painas long as it is a true democracy where no group is unable to vote and anyone gets a say.- MarioManiac4

I wouldn't like that. I would welcome them to another democracy that didn't provide these restrictions.In post 21, Accountant wrote:What if more than 60% of the people in a democracy believes in a law that would cause great hurt to the other 40%?
If there was none then I would go to the country where there was the most opposition to the new law and help protest and change people's views in order to provide a safe area where oppressive laws do not exist.
Alternatively we could try to talk to these people and explain logically what these laws would do.- MarioManiac4

Yes. Democracy, has, indeed, failed in its job. That is because democracy is not a perfect system.In post 26, Accountant wrote:Do you think that anti-leaving law harms people physically and mentally? If so, hasn't democracy failed in its job of doing the least harm?
However, I do not see any superior option to democracy.- MarioManiac4

What if I told you that a benevolent dictatorship system is even more flawed and is also unsustainable?In post 28, Accountant wrote:What if I told you that a benevolent dictatorship would lead to less harm because it doesn't have the same flaws democracy does?- MarioManiac4
