    Similar to this is the standard 'No one at the time thought slavery/genocide etc. was wrong'

    Wonder if we asked the people who were crammed into slave ships or forced onto land they couldn't work to watch their children starve what they'd say.

    As an argument, it essentially is saying that the victims of the atrocity don't count as people.
