Not sure why this got removed from 196lemmy…blahaj.zone but it would be real nice if moderation on Lemmy gave you some sort of notification of what you did wrong. Like an automatic DM or something

All of those things are group consensus though. As in there are plenty of examples when group consensus was the other way and those things (slavery, not allowing women to participate in democracy, extreme inequality) were accepted and practiced freely

But were they morally correct when they were accepted?

From the perspective of the majority in those societies, yes. Morality is not woven into our universe as a fundamental thing.

So the majority of people agree on what exactly? What do they mean when they say something is morally right or ok?

Math also isn’t woven into our universe as a thing. You can still decide whether or not something is objectively wrong or false (in math). The same goes for ethics.

Slavery wasn’t accepted. It was widely practiced but it was abolished (mostly) because people agreed it was wrong. Slaves didnt want to be slaves or see their status as slaves as morally good.

Think about that for a moment.

Not allowing women to participate in democracy is another example. Women fought against that and won.

Extreme inequality is still all around us and we almost all agree that its wrong.

Slavery went away because of technological advancement moreso than morality. Once you didn’t need hundreds of people to plant and harvest crops, slavery gets less popular.

Slavery is as old as human history, people only agreed it was wrong relatively recently
