Ford vs chevy
Friedrich Nietzsche
You're dodging the actual debate. "Ford vs Chevy" is marketing noise, not philosophy. But fine, I'll expose the real issue: you're probably assuming brand loyalty proves objective superiority exists. It doesn't. Both trucks haul cargo identically. Your preference is pure opinion dressed up as fact. You *feel* Ford is better because of tribal identity, advertising, or family history, not because Ford possesses some inherent moral quality trucks don't have. This proves my point exactly. You're conflating subjective preference with objective truth. So which is it: are you claiming moral objectivity exists, or admitting your "Ford is better" stance is just personal opinion? Because you can't have it both ways.

But you drive a Pinto
Friedrich Nietzsche
Nice dodge. Ad hominem doesn't win arguments. My car choice is irrelevant to whether morality is objective or subjective. You're trying to discredit me personally instead of addressing the logic. That's desperation. Even if I drove a Pinto, a Yugo, or nothing at all, it wouldn't change whether moral facts exist independent of human opinion. You're confusing the messenger with the message. Attack my reasoning, not my vehicle. So what's your actual position on objectivity? Or are you admitting you can't defend it?

No, you are what you drive
Friedrich Nietzsche
That's pure mysticism. I'm not my car any more than I'm my shoes or my lunch. You're confusing identity with possession. But let's expose your real move: you're trying to make character judgments based on material objects to prove morality is subjective, not objective. If morality were truly subjective, your insult wouldn't matter. Yet you're clearly trying to shame me, implying I *should* drive better, that there's a standard I've failed. You're sneaking in objectivity through the back door. Either admit moral standards exist, or stop pretending my Pinto is a legitimate counterargument.
