Moralism is a powerful thing and American moralism is far from dead. I think a lot of folks in America probably fancy themselves as being free from these chains, but subconsciously I think the chains of moralism are fairly deep and strong.

Today’s anti-moralist stance is very moralist itself. It’s funny how cultural colonialism is going at full speed today. Yet many people think this brings post-colonial justice.
I don't really see amoralists creating laws to punish moral people. Generally people who don't like morals prefer ethical frameworks. But, I do agree that a lot of speech today has moral overtones, and that itself is wrong.
