I think thats too pedantic of an interpretation (surprising, considering my name lol).
I don’t really agree that something we’d recognize as a moral system could form in a vacuum.
If someone’s morals diverge significantly from the culture they’re embedded in, I see three avenues for them:
Find a subculture or external culture to join to help galvanize the shame into resolve
Adjust your moral system to align with the culture
Sociopathy
Even in your extreme example, I think that only sociopaths could “go it alone”, and that the people who did disagree with their culture often did so knowing that they weren’t alone in that belief.
But really you’re putting way to much thought into a shitpost.
