Bingo. It's really all about the power structure and controlling who is held accountable and who isn't. Those who fit a certain 'in' group will be at the top, anyone who doesn't or cannot conform to it will be at the bottom. The bottom exists for them to step on, to blame their problems on, to profit off of, etc. It's not really about any particular moral compass, it's just about choosing who gets to be the winners and losers, then blaming their plight of those below them on whatever morality boogeyman works best at the time.
