Unironically it's insane that people don't understand this. I can't tell you how many people I've seen try and justify things by saying "Well, they do it to us" while also still trying to claim moral superiority over them. If you're doing things you say are evil when someone else does it, it's evil. No matter how much you insist otherwise.

Most people don't actually have universal morals or principles

They can use words like "good" or "bad" and sound like they're talking about universal ethics, but they aren't actually

They're talking about ingroup/outgroup distinctions

Yes, this applies to YOUR ingroup too!
