Sure, but recognizing, understanding the context from which arises from, and whatever this moralizing bullshit is in the OP are separate things, no?

It's easy to say we know better. However, I find it suspect when those outside the cultural context are quick to criticize, but do little introspection on their own end.

I don't know if I agree with that.

Obviously, it's impossible to say for sure, since I'm not going to go look up the actual Twitter users. But I would expect the people who make these kinds of arguments to be critical of Western imperialism as well, and IME they usually are, at least on some level.

More generally: I don't think that there's anything wrong with making judgments about things like this. In fact I think it's necessary. Now, obviously, good judgment requires understanding, and there's enormous complexity when you talk about how well we can understand things from different historical and cultural contexts. But at the end of the day, I don't think any of those factors preclude judgment. Especially when we're talking about contemporary political ideologies here.

To put it another way: I don't think that there's actually a conflict between cultural contextualization and moral judgment. I think they can and do coexist.
