It's not "arbitrary" to decide e.g. that German society should not put Jews into a gas chamber. Your ideas here of not judging norms are just deranged and you should fix that, just like societies that have accepted deranged norms should fix them. You may think my standards here are arbitrary but you need to fix that.

That had two important effects: it silenced the voices that would decry them, and had a chilling effect on the rest of the populace. Hence, why anonymous speech is important. You cannot influence the norms of a society that will kill you or otherwise ostracize you for voicing opposition to them.
