A big use of the "PoMo" approach is "Relative Morality." You can justify any type of crime if you are doing it for "the good of the group." Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, etc.

Bad illustration. I don't know about Pol Pot, but H and S, thought they had the absolute unvarnished gods own truth by virtue of which they could do their thing. It's despots that think they have absolute truth on their side. It's democracies which agree we have to persuade one another, vote, etc.
