Values are about personal preference. "Killing each other is not super nice" isn't a value in any real way due to the dilution words you add. Take the following thoughts: Killing people is a bad thing. During wars, soldiers kill people. Soldiers are virtuous people. Do you believe/know that someone could think they believe all 3 of these things? If yes, what are their values? Everything is situations. It's context. It's why philosophers play with so many variances of the trolley problem. Nothing is clean and easy, everyone is a hypocrite, nothing matters, stuff happens, and trying to rule a group by trying to worry about individual beliefs instead of aggregate beliefs shared among a majority (a slight difference from your statement that I took as "minimal set of shared values" which I assumed you meant applied to literally everyone). Point is once you get a group above a certain size, there's only ever going to be majority favored ideas, not universally shared.
