No, the idea of motivational internalism is that you can’t judge something as right or wrong without being motivated to pursue or avoid it. Like if the word “right” was short for “this thing matches my terminal values”.
The alternative is externalism, where “right” means {X, Y, Z} and we (some/most/all humans) are motivated to pursue it just because we like {X, Y, Z}.
