15. and then there are those who abandon morality, since man is bad anyway
they conclude that trying to be good is a disadvantage in the struggle for resources that life is.

I mean, looking at all the corruption in corporate affairs and the politics that cater to those. These typically are not lefties, nor is it a demonstration of upholding high moral standards.

And then there are the neo-conservatives who follow the thinking of so-called political philisophers like Leo Strauss and Machiavelli who say things like:

"Those who are fit to rule are those who realize there is no morality and that there is only one natural right, the right of the superior to rule over the inferior".

*those who realize there is no morality*
