Is it fair to judge historical figures by modern moral standards?

Morality is a meme

Morality is objective
It is also independent of r*ligion


Childhood is thinking morality is subjective and gray
Adulthood is realizing it's been objective all along

morality is a spook

I am fond of them, of the inferior beings of the abyss, of those who are full of longing.

Judging historical figures and events is nonsensical and counter productive. It accomplishes nothing but make you feel better about yourself while contributing nothing to the academic study of past figures and events.

Study impartially and without judgement or else your views of history become distorted to fit your agenda.
