I'm not sure that wasn't the original intention for many if not most of the people advocating those positions.

  Less-powerful people tend to appeal to principles more, because principles tend to align with their benefit. You don't know whether the principles really exist until you see currently-powerful people hold themselves to the principles. I suspect nearly all people would fail this test, execpt those who've been on both sides (at least in small ways) enough times.

    Very insightful. This gets to the root of power and how different moral truths are advocated by different positions with both saying how they are universal. I wish we could admit that as progressives and have a better conversation around the motivations of certain policies.
