Great.

Here's where it all falls apart.
Who decides "group" membership?
Why is hierarchy and tradition so often allowed to violate the other "morals", even within the "group"?
WTF is "contamination"?
It's so easy to see the latter "morals" are just tools for tyrants. The former "morals" exclude them outright, so why does anyone accept them as being part of the same "foundation"? When I see people doing that, I feel the urge to "protect the vulnerable". I clearly see how they're giving up their equality and freedom to liars, cheats and thieves that will betray the group whenever it benefits them.
It's frustrating as hell.
The "group" should simply be "everyone", except the would-be tyrants. Guess some people just want that submissive life.
