moral authority, or rather thinking you have the moral right to do something is the cause of all strive. Was the cause of the religious wars... even Hitler thought he had a "moral duty" to eradicate people from the gene pool to make a better society. You can't assume moral authority; you will end up hurting people. It happens again and again, everything from an abusive spouse who thinks his wife is bad quality X and should be beat into a better person, to parents abusing their kids to have them "learn" otherwise they won't be tough enough for the world, to the horrible recidivism rate in countries where prisoners are considered subhuman because they're "immoral", to every serial killer feeling justified to torture people in their messed up fabric of how they think the world works. Morality is a trojan horse for criminality. It treats others as subhuman, abdicates their ability to choose, and then causes arrogance in the "ruling elite" which then ends in slaughter of their own people, starting with the minorities until society realizes, "wait, how did we get here?"

this assumes a moral authority, which can be dangerous

sounds like empty slander unless people can see it and make up their own minds about it
