Are you taking specific fault with the idea of “duty” or do you genuinely just not think that moral obligations are real?
Either way, “why should we be motivated to act ethically” is a pretty mammoth question for a PHD thesis to answer, let alone a comment on lemmy.
I think it seems fair, that even if you don’t accept ethical obligations to each other exist, then it’s at least a widespread enough and accepted notion, that it’s hardly controversial to include it in the article as assumed.
Surely you’ll trolling? You must get that people are here to talk about some politicial commentary, and you’re saying “well, I’m not convinced in the concept of duty”. It’s like turning up to an astrinomy club and saying “you can’t prove these stars aren’t a dream of mine!”.
If you’re genuinely interested, then there’s a bumch of philosophy under the category “meta-ethics”. Would massively recommend J L Mackie’s “Ethics: Inventing Right and Wrong”.

I want to understand why someone believes that I have a duty. To anyone. Or anything.
