There are unequivocable monsters in our society that should be exterminated

And who gets to decide who falls under that? If you ask former (and possibly future) president Trump, the left is "vermin" and immigrants "poison the blood"; his pick for VP is happy to sign off on progressives being called "unhuman". Should these groups – in their view unequivocable monsters – be exterminated?

I'd say if you get caught cooking human body parts, any logical person would be capable of making that call.

That is your standard, theirs is different. So how do you decide which is right?

Killing and cooking another human being is never "right" unless you're stranded at sea or crashed in the mountains.

Okay, and they would argue that being progressive is never "right". You refuse to acknowledge the fundamental flaw in your reasoning, which is that you are assuming a moral baseline that – while I'm sure is reasonable – simply not enough people share for it to be a given.
