In prehistoric days, killing another man to protect your own food was "right".

The Aztecs had no problem sacrificing people, and many sought it out (it's theorized) given that it guaranteed you a place next to the sun and thus in paradise, eternally drunk.

Extremists even today believe in a paradise-after-death if they sacrifice themselves for god. To a lesser extent, self-flagellation (whipping oneself for religious purposes) is still prevalent in many cultures and sects of e.g. Christianity/Catholocism today.

"Right" and "wrong" change over time, and with culture. Thus they are subjective - there is no objective "right" and "wrong". In this sense, your last sentence relates two identical things - what you might agree with and disagree with are your own perception of "right" and "wrong".

It's a somewhat flawed and (in my opinion) dangerous way of thinking about social interaction and morality.

E: Because I know this will be mis-interpreted, let me be clear: the website in question is, in my opinion, abhorrent - but I think it's dangerous to celebrate a large company taking it down on the grounds of morality. I understand it was taken down as it specifically violated a pre-existing clause in their ToS which makes it make sense in this case. But to say that this is a great thing and we should do this for people that are "wrong" is beginning down a path that nobody really wants.

The dril tweet applies nearly equally to your response as it did when I first linked it.

You're incorrect about right and wrong changing over time. Even with that information though, it doesn't matter for what I said to still be correct both CURRENTLY (which fits your incorrect ideas of morality) and more broadly.

Care to elaborate?
