But seriously, not to reduce everything to the Great Moral Stains of the West but how can you possibly think that "we can't possibly call that evil, everybody does it!!" is an acceptable moral response in a country that defines its history by slavery and defeating Nazism?

We just have such astonishingly small moral imaginations to think that basically every society in history had massive, egregious moral failings but nothing that is ordinary to us could possibly be offensive to morality.
