Perhaps anarchy already exists and "THE COMMUNITY" is merely the highest manifestation of organized crime.

I'm not sure how the following can be used against me prima facie,

AXIOM #1 - PROTECT YOURSELF
AXIOM #2 - PROTECT YOUR FAMILY
AXIOM #3 - PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY

Unless you are confronted by an aggressor that just doesn't care.

Looking for rules is OK, but life is about breaking rules to find new ground.
If you did find your perfect logic the crowd just wants to be entertained, and cares nothing about your right and wrong.

Unless you are confronted by an aggressor that just doesn't care.

There's a big difference between "rules" and AXIOMS.

No human (whether aggressive or submissive) ever "breaks" these AXIOMS.

Uh huh, but you can only see them from a perspective.
One necessarily different than anybody else's.

They are relative to the individual.

Just like my "right" and "left" are "different" from your "right" and "left".

The fact that they are relative to the individual does not in any way "invalidate" the terms.

Nope, just their application to others.

Please explain.

Aren't you wanting to find rules to judge others' behavior without fear of being wrong in your evaluation?

We don't get to decide right and wrong for others, only ourselves.
Our ability to judge right from wrong is often questionable enough when we do it for ourselves, but to apply our perspective to another's is begging to introduce error, imo.

Some people are supposed to be serial killers, and others destined to be their victims.
Do you propose you know which is which?

Not exactly.

Each individual is only "answerable" to their own personal moral framework. There is no "god" and "the government" has absolutely ZERO "moral authority". "the group" or "collective" or "community" ALWAYS expects the individual to be sacrificed on the alter of "the greater good", so "they" also have no "moral authority" (they're simply selfish, reflexively self-protecting, not "moral" or "immoral", just like any other animal/organism/organization).

What I'm trying to investigate are individual moral frameworks.

I'm not trying to "tell anyone" what their moral framework "should be", I'm asking them to describe their "moral ideology" and simply pointing out where their descriptions of their own personal moral framework are LOGICALLY INCOHERENT.

Now, if someone simply admits "I do whatever I flipping feel like, whenever I flipping feel like it", well then, 100 points for HONESTY.

But then if that exact same person starts railing against "spammers" and "trolls" and "low-quality-content" and "the immorality of a coercive government which derives its power from threats of violence", I'm going to point out their OBVIOUS INCONSISTENCY/HYPOCRISY/INCOHERENCE.

ETHICAL EGOISM,
