It's a pretty textbook example of relativist moral framing. Ongoing for centuries. The notion is that anyone outside of their society has no moral purchase.
Explicit moral othering. Just a heartbeat or a bad plate of shrimp away from claiming that we can do whatever we want to Those People™, as it's all just, like..... opinions anyway....man. Still, the afflicted have a point, even if they fail to accurately report it. Nominal subjectivists do communicate as objectivists, and until those nominal subjectivists come to terms with that, there will be no shortage of opportunities for lazy theocratic moralizing. That a person engages in lazy theocratic moralizing is and can only be demonstrative of their having an opinion. Quelle surprise, people with opinions....but it cannot rise to the level of being a bad opinion, or a false opinion, in the absence of facts.
