So are you arguing that genocide and slavery aren't objectively bad?


I'd argue that morality and objectivity are orthogonal. Morality is an expression of values, which are subjective, never objective.

I value human life. If another human values human death, there isn't a sense in which my value is necessarily more objective than theirs.


No.
