No, according to you we can set our own standards of justice; so if two standards differ one cannot argue that one standard is more just than the other since both are completely arbitrary and they are therefore equal. Even more absurd is the fact that you have now rendered the very concept of something being “unjust” impossible since each person is free to act according to their own arbitrary standard of justice, thus making everything and anything they do just; no injustice, no miscarriages of justice, it’s all justice. What a wonderful and yet completely incoherent world you’ve created for yourself.

No, it fails to meet yours, but that’s irrelevant since your standard of justice is arbitrary and therefore meaningless.

So if a society determines its goal (final solution) to be a society devoid of Jews then it is moral progress to exterminate all Jews? Yikes.
