Obviously they've taken terms like "moral compass" and "moral values" and corrupted them beyond all recognition, very frequently reversing their meaning entirely. I was trying, probably confusingly, to use the term "moral values" in something like a correct sense in the same breath as I used "moral compass" in a reference to its corrupted sense. Or something.
I think, by the way, that your brief analysis here is more or less spot on.
