And if you adopt a moral framework that emphasizes those common ideas in defining the category of “bad people” then you’ve got a powerful justification for elites to dominate ordinary people. You’ve also got a powerful tool for white cultural supremacy, because in that framework most people in say Bangladesh are “bad people” who need to be educated in “good ideas” from white countries regarding multiculturalism, sexuality, etc.
Only in a moral framework where not wanting people who speak a different language to move into your neighborhood,[1] makes you more of a bad person than writing software that gets kids hooked on social media that's bad for their mental health, or exporting jobs to China, or figuring out how to dupe people into buying more cheap imported crap they don't need, etc.
[1] Or insert any other worldview common to ordinary people from Ohio to Mexico to India.
