"Some claim that theft is wrong, so if the majority of people approve of it, then it couldn't be wrong, and therefore couldn't be theft. Such claimants are morons."

Morality is always majority-dependent. There are no Platonic social norms or human rights, only what people give themselves. They change from era to era, even from country to country. This is not "moral equivalence", just the plain facts.
