Re bullet biting as a moral anti-realist: I don’t actually agree that you don’t bite certain bullets for moral anti-realism.
I think the major bullets you’d have to bite for moral anti-realism are:
Ethics gets personal, irrevocably. That is, there aren’t universal principles for everyone, or even within your social group.
Values conflicts are unresolvable by default.
The Orthogonality Thesis is strengthened, in that all moral views are fundamentally right or valid.
When a group makes decisions, or when an individual makes decisions, they always impose their own values on things. Decisions are never value neutral.
There aren’t unless you make them.
But you can construct conflict resolution mechanisms, and you are better off with them .
There are many versions of anti realism. Some suggest that all moral claims are false or meaningless.
When a group makes decisions, or when an individual makes decisions, they always impose their own values on things.
Contractualism tends towards everyone having an equal say, since people voluntarily adhere to that kind of contract more readily
