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

The point is that slavery was seen as morally acceptable at some time and the moral relativist is forced to say that that means slavery was okay during that time. Most people here want to be moral relativists but they don't want to accept its consequences.
I think you don't quite understand moral relativism.
No they understand just fine. Here's a quote from an ethics book that gets at the same issue:
Russ Shafer-Landau - The fundamentals of ethics p.293 ("Some Implications of Ethical Subjectivism and Cultural Relativism")
Without knowing the context for this paragraph, this statement sounds like utter bullshit.
If that result is absurd, that probably just means you think cultural relativism is bullshit.
I can share a link to get the book, the context is quite short.
No, I mean I'm pretty sure that characterization of relativism is bullshit. A straw man if you will.
But most people don't believe this.
Believe what?
OP said
going by your quote, I don't think that's true.
I shared that quote to show that OP seems to know what moral relativism is, and their objection is something actual ethicists point out. I dont see what its got to do with how many people in the comments here are relativists.
I don't think the slaves ever saw slavery as acceptable.
There were Roman slaves devoted to their masters. They sometimes married them and often took their master's surname name when they were freed. Then kept slaves themselves. So yes, some slaves saw slavery as acceptable.
