For a value of "present" that no one subscribes to.

The absolutes were present in the sense I mean before both
events; thinking people recognized the Armenian genocide as a
bad thing when it happened, and in the case of the Holocaust,
nearly the whole world condemned it along with the Axis
aggression.

Bad people do wrong things. That is dealt with by the police
using force against the bad people, as the very wrongness of
those things, unfortunately, does not cause the ground itself to
rise up and restrain them.
