I agree that, firstly, we like to believe there's a kind of natural moral safety net in us when in fact there's none until we enact it, and secondly, we tend to view ourselves as acting "for the good" when that noble motive was heavily diluted by baser ones. That said, I doubt your self-claimed moral nihilism, simply because you evidently feel there's something amiss about killing so many animals for meat, burning up the planet and buying slave-made gadgets. Perhaps you're more of a skeptic than a nihilist.I'm a bit of a moral nihilist, apparently, but I do not believe it's a coincidence that slavery became wrong when the industrial revolution happened. It's no coincidence that feminism became a thing as work shifted from labor into service and thought. It's no coincidence that we are happy killing thousands of cute little animals for meat, using tons of fossil fuels, and buying products sourced from slaves.
