Are the laws of physics are ultimately subjective depending on your interpretation of the illusion of consciousness?

The phenomena themselves are objective. Their descriptions and what practical implications and applications they have for us, less so.

If genocide isn't objectively bad, then there is nothing in the universe that is objectively anything at all, and the entire English language and language in general is useless because I can't call a rock a rock anymore. BTW don't call it a rock, from a giant's perspective it might be a pebble.

This is why people will generally agree that absolute subjectivity is a completely useless perspective, even if it is logically sound. There comes a point where a subjective assessment is so universal that it can effectively be treated as objective without running into issues. Depending on the subject, that line may vary and be up for debate, so you should be prepared to have any such assumptions you make challenged, but you can still make those assumptions without issue more often than not.
