Well homie I appreciate the bullet bite but I don't know how to fix you - you not only feel no need to endorse the ending of genocide - even for the marginalized in societies outside your own, you actively discourage and look down upon interfering with genocide. I don't know if you have the capacity to engage as a member of society, and frankly you may be a danger to it. Maybe you get the boot out of Athens ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ

We can agree to disagree on our differing views of morality, I guess.

With regards to genocide, it's a tough topic. We both agree that it's wrong, but we don't agree on how to approach it. I come from the perspective that there isn't a baseline for morality and that it's amoral to foist a subjective standard on others. You come from the perspective that there exists a universal standard for morality, and that it is amoral to allow societies to deviate from it.

Two diametrically opposed viewpoints that can't be reconciled at this point in time. Maybe, in the future, if we have a unified global "culture" and moral relativism and cultural relativism are indistinguishable, we might be able to come to some agreement. Until then, you do you, and I do me.

I'm a moral objectivist, I literally won't do that ๐Ÿคฃ

Good point, lol. I'll agree to disagree, and you keep doing you ๐Ÿคฃ
