in reality everyone is mostly looking out for their own self interest and the interests of the ‘in group’ they identify with.
the question of ‘goodness’ is simple do you identify with that group and their supposed values.
the irony is that pretty much everyone is hypocritical and often does not actually practice the virtues/ideals they preach. and/or corrupt. most folks are corrupted by power and use their own to abuse others once they attain it.
non-hypocritical people are far and few and usually aren’t ‘recruiting’ for their faction.
