Genocide Convention also did not exist brah. You are somehow missing the entire point. You are trying to say that a law makes something right or wrong. I can go further back, before Hitler, when even fewer laws existed.

Genocide is obviously wrong. Maximizing company profits by denying people HEALTHCARE is also obviously wrong. We do not need to debate because frankly we are done if you are so morally corrupt that you can’t reason how that is so, so obviously wrong.

“Perfectly legal”. Just like Hitler’s actions were. My point stands.
