I take a very "it's me or them" approach with some people If we live in a reality in which it's not possible to give certain people a deserved retribution then you are condemning _me_ to a cruel and unusual punishment for the rest of my life and it'd be better to euthanize me
Well, sure, they're disgusted by me and I'm disgusted by them Because our morals are in conflict and are irreconcilable with each other

A moral realist would say I can't say I'm right and they're wrong unless there's something outside of us, some logical fact about the world, I can appeal to to show that my moral disgust is based on truth and theirs is based on a mistake

But I don't think, in the end, that that's actually possible Moreover if it is possible I have no idea how to do it and I don't think anyone else really does either
