All (+/- 3%)persons have strong feelings about the 6 moral foundations.
- Desert matters (Fairness/Reciprocity)-- A person getting rich off hurting others is bad. A good person suffering is also bad. A person with no special value getting a $3B inheritance is unfairly advantaged.
- Be nice (Harm/Care) -- Someone in the ingroup getting hurt is bad. Taking care of them is good.
- Teams matter (Ingroup/Loyalty) -- This one is the Dark side of deep human ethics. Advance the ingroup over the outgroup.
- They should defer (Authority/Respect) -- DO NOT dis the ingroup. Show that you're in the ingroup, by respecting the proper symbols/people.
- Taboo (Purity/Sanctity) -- You can't be in the ingroup unless you are disgusted by some things.
- Freedom (Liberty/Constraint) -- Ingroup folks should not be told what to do any more than strictly necessary.

Is your claim empirical?
Empirical how?
Are the 6 foundations empirical? yes. Jon Haidt.
Are the foundations expressed quite differently between ingroup and outgroup? Very. And empirically so.
Do I have statistical controls on the homogenous nordic countries and their uber-liberalism vs. massively more outgroup focus for everywhere else? I don't have the numbers, but it looks awful good from here.
Plenty other societies are homogeneous without being ultra-liberal. Consider North Korea and ancient Hebrews
Gyan,
Sure, they're more homogenous. North Korea is hard to argue as a non-redistributive state. Seems to match my ingroup/outgroup line quite well. My expertise on the ancient Hebrews is weak...but modern Kibbutzes are pretty clearly what I'm talking about.
